My Latest Debate on Immigration & My Current Debate Dare

My latest debate on immigration was about how our recent immigration policies under both Biden and Trump have affected Foundational Black Americans.

At first, the audience expected me to be 100% pro-rapid-immigration and rather non-empathetic towards the concerns of Foundational Blacks (i.e., those can trace their lineage in America since the days of slavery.)

Instead, despite the fact that a few members of the audience had some choice words for African, Caribbean and other non-White immigrants, who came to their communities, I was able to keep my cool, stay balanced, make some poignant and irrefutable points and appeal to the commonalities that exist particularly among Blacks, one of which is that we were all mostly from Africa via slavery and were simply dropped in different areas. Thus, no matter how culturally different we are, our physical, mental and psychological barriers are rather similar, but simply mutated based on who colonized/enslaved us.

Mr. Barnes of NumbersUSA just talked to me earlier and told me that he cannot wait to debate me again on new issues knowing that I never back away from a debate. Additionally, I debate respectfully and substantively and never with insults or disrespect.

As the only non-foundational Black who showed up that day at a nice venue in Chicago in front of a lovely, diversified and rather larger than expected audience, I know that there was a possibility that I could have been ambushed, but I am the kind of person who gets motivated by challenges and my goal is to be always ready to challenge/challenge ANYONE and EVERYONE substantively (i.e., on the truth.)

MY NEW DEBATE CHALLENGE

I CHALLENGE ANYONE to debate me on any topic; and I WILL WIN because my focus is on substantive knowledge, truth, progress and love.

DREAM DEBATES

My dream debates would be with Presidents TRUMP and OBAMA and Governor CHARLIE CRIST. I think TRUMP and CRIST would be my ultimate challenge, even though OBAMA is a tough debater too, but in a subtle way, sort of like a SILENT KILLER. Either way, I love debating proven professional bullies. It is an aim of mine to reduce them to their mere humanity to make my general point or even to remind them that WE ARE ALL MERE MORTALS!

SOME INTERESTING TOPICS FROM THIS BOOK

Although I have only perused the latter rather briefly, I would like to share some notable topics that it covers which should catalyze your curiosity on the effect of immigration on the Black community (especially if you're Black, or love Black people, or close to a Black person, or care about Black plight) so that you will never be surprised if you're ever understandably confronted on the issue of Immigration by a Foundational Black American:

• Immigration's Role with Other Wealthy Transfer Factors (p. 276)

• Brain Drain and the Discrimination Against Upward Mobility of Blacks into the Professions (p. 267)

• Minimum Policy Standard: First Do No Harm to Black Workers (p. 260)

• Inequality at End of Two Centuries (2020) (p. 247)

• Black Wealth Gap with Immigrants (p. 72)

• Individual Immigrants Not to Blame (p. 5)

• The Disappearing Black Workers of New York, D.C., and Miami (p. 141)

• Affirmative Action Against Blacks (p. 191)

• 1965 Act "Accidentally" Renews Mass Immigration (p. 113)

• False Promises of Little Immigration Increase (p. 118)

• Choices For a More Equitable Future (p. 253)

• The Great Reversal & More Inequality (After 1970) (p. 283)

There are other topics, but I highly recommend the above provided topics.

By the way, I know that there are foundational Blacks that one nothing to do with the plight of Black immigrants (e.g., Haitians), especially those like the Somalis and Dominicans who haven't identified as Blacks. However, let me assure you that all NON-WEALTHY-WHITE-MALES are often categorized as "OTHER" for most reasons unless they are actually useful to the cause of those that fall in the top 1%. However, I do accept the argument that Blacks Americans have their own issues to focus on and that that just because an issue is a Black issue, it doesn't make it a Foundational Black issue. But don't be foolish, if you're not in the top 1%, or part of the Cognitive Elite (i.e., a True Intellectual), you're on the same boat.

And the VERY BEST THING I can be in life is STILL a LORINS because of my love and respect for you and MY MOTHER. Miss you BOTH so much every single day :-)
