Black Chicagoans: Migrants Should Be With 'Their People' Instead of Our Neighborhood
Townhall ^ | 01/06/2023 | Julio Rosas

Posted on 01/06/2023 11:03:17 AM PST by simpson96

Chicagoans in the Woodlawn neighborhood continue to voice their opposition to the city's plan to place a migrant shelter at a closed school amid the historic crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, going as far as to say migrants should be sent to Latino-majority neighborhoods.

One resident said at a protest on Thursday the migrants, who most assuredly will be from South America, should be sent to the Little Village neighborhood, a mostly Mexican area.

"I am here because I am a child of Woodlawn. I was born and raised in Woodlawn. And I am speaking on behalf of the people that are here and the ones that's not here...We are very disappointed in this decision that Mayor Lightfoot has made to place these migrants in our community without our permission," one woman told reporters.

"Please withdraw your decision to put the migrants in our community. There’s plenty of room in Little Village for their people. Please, speak to Little Village and take them over there. We are not hating on anyone but we're loving on Woodlawn," she added.

The woman said the neighborhood is already struggling with the scourge of fentanyl and "we don't need anything else to add to the struggles we already have."

Silly woman. She really thinks her overlords will respect the wants of underlings like her.

“Imagine if white residents said this about a black influx?”

A lot of rules don’t apply to blacks. And they know it.

“You would think she’s from Martha’s Vineyard.”

Interesting Diversity Dichotomy
One ethnicity wanting to preserve the character of their neighborhood are vile racists bordering on being supremacist.

Another ethnicity wanting to preserve the character of their neighborhood are simply trying to preserve the historic character of their neighborhood.

I wonder what will happen when the little brown children want to go to the neighborhood school

LOL! Yeah - she didn't say anything about being enriched, though.

The hatred between blacks and Hispanics here in Memphis is beyond wild imagination. City Council meetings strike out at any Hispanic building permit, business license, zoning, social welfare inclusion, request. The hatred between the groups is explosive, not so much on the part of the Hispanics but on the part of the black communities in general. Memphis was 87% black. It’s now down to 79%, mostly due to Hispanic influx and Midtown revival. If the trend continues it will be very interesting to see the drama unfold. “Keep going, with Cohen” you know....(Steve Cohen)

Sounds like racism.

Sounds like tribalism or communitism.

Comminitism is where you want the best for your community.

Bringing in large numbers of outsiders is generally not in the best interest of the community.

People get upset when a community advances these simple common values.

Black people aren’t stupid

Yet, they continue to vote for the worst politicians. O'Bummer. Light-In-Loafers. Etc.

Sounds stupid to me.

White people vote for the worst politicians, too. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be where we are.

We had a black neighbor decades back whose was a public school teacher. She complained to me over the back fence about the “brown tide” disturbing the black community.

Ask the Polish/Irish/Jewish/Lithuanian Americans who were driven out of their neighborhoods by the AA migrants from the south, often through violence. Now the same is happening to the AAs.
