Videos: Migrants Complain That New Yorkers Don’t Learn African Languages

A hearing held earlier this week in New York by the Council’s immigration and hospital committees saw black migrants who have arrived in the city airing their grievances about public services they have been provided, including food and accommodation, with one woman even complaining that New Yorkers won’t learn Congolese languages.

The hearing drew over a thousand immigrants, mostly from countries in Africa, and many illegally in the country, with some claiming that they had been promised money, green cards or work visas if they attended.

While only 250 of them were allowed inside, the rest congregated outside in a park protesting.

The hearing was touted in a press release as aimed at African migrants in shelters to “understand how the [Adams] Administration is addressing language access barriers, cultural competency challenges, health needs, and other roadblocks.”

At one point during the hearing, which lasted for over SIX HOURS, the conversation turned to language services offered by the state, with some migrants complaining that Spanish and English speakers are given priority, and African immigrants are unfairly excluded.

"Migrants in NYC complain that people who live there and provide them with free services are not willing to learn hundreds of different African languages. They go on to call NYC "racist" and "shameful." "

Plenty of New Yorkers speak Latin, English, Dutch, Arabic, French, Greek, Italian, and several other languages that have been spoken in Africa for hundreds and even thousands of years.

In addition, I refuse to live in a mud hut. Is that going to be a problem?

“They described the situation as “unacceptable,” and “shameful,” and even calling New York City “Anti-African, racist and Xenophobic,”

I didn’t think the magic words were supposed to be used on Democrats. My bad.

Why learn Congolese, which is a country that still has slavery?

“Anti-African, racist and Xeonophobic,” charging that the council is “responsible for this pain and suffering” that will affect migrants “for generations to come.”

No. No. No. Not generations to come, resentful in perpetuity. Just go home, eh, for the sake of your generations. Our posterity will thank you also.

“They described the situation as “unacceptable,” and “shameful,” and even calling New York City “Anti-African, racist and Xenophobic,”

they have been extensively coached on what to say, how to manipulate guilty whites, and how to game the system.

Nothing says progress like erasing centuries of linguistic diversity. Let’s just force everyone to forget anything that’s not African, because who needs communication with the rest of the world anyway. /s

My primary method of learning is by “reading”, so that eliminates the possibility of learning any native African languages.

We need to inform all disgruntled newcomers that the only thing they will ever get is a settlement disbursement IF they join in on a class-action against Soros and WEFs. Then we need to make that the Manhattan project of the Justice Department.

Rob, pillage, assault? It's what the native blacks can teach them.
