Immigration and Black Americans
A friend of mine sent me this link showing the negative coorelation between increased immigration and black American employment and incarceration rates.
Again, it is clear to me that low skilled Black Americans are being “replaced” in the work force. I don’t mean to make it sound like some insideous plot against blacks - I don’t think it is that so much as it is that so much as it is that their “replacements” (Latinos) come cheaper in the Labor force and there is little to no thought about what is to happen to the millions of low skilled blacks they are putting out of work.
This is not to say that the Latinos are not hard workers and are often outperforming blacks. This is a seperate issue.
Since no one (even elite blacks) seem to care very much about this issue, then I feel that it is upon black parents to instill in their children a “take no prisoners” attitude when it comes to work and tell them that they will have to work very hard in their studies, Insha Allah, because NOTHING is going to come easy for them.
Black American Muslims further can not adopt a nihilistic attitude toward this as if this has nothing to do with them at all.

excellent post.
Great point. It’s too bad that it is taking illegal immigration for black America to realize that the only way to get ahead is to have a “take no prisoners” attitude towards education and employment.
