I give props to Nicole Hannah Jones for actively downplaying the history of subjugation of other minority groups as most people into sectarian racial ideology are too chicken to do that. I always admire honesty.

At some point I expect her to start blaming the large number of poor people who came into the United States after immigration laws were liberalized for working hard and succeeding, because that's what you do if you believe life is a zero sum contest between ethnic groups.

Has she ever actually been to a country like Vietnam or Cambodia or Pakistan or Nigeria? The standard of living of the average person in those countries is pitiful. The median person of any race in the US has a way better economic life.

People who manage to make it from those countries to here usually have to also start from nothing when they get here. Its extremely tough to come to a new country, learn a language, lift yourself from poverty and when they power through trying to disparage them is just sad.

Of course we should do more for the poor people in the United States of every background but disparaging immigrants and minimising their experiences is ignorant, doesn't matter if it comes from white nationalists or black nationalists.

Also it's reductive to claim that immigration laws were liberalized thanks to the "Black resistance struggle." A. Phillip Randolph and some other black activists opposed liberalising immigration laws. The passage of the Hart-Cellar Act was complicated.

For one, many Eastern European-Americans in the US complained that the status quo discriminated against them in favor of Western Europe. Many Greeks, Poles, Italians, and others agitated for this change in the law.

Heck, the Italian-American lobby is a big part of why I'm in the United States. Kennedy campaigned directly to the Italian organizations about changing immigration laws two years before they were changed. http://hiddenheritagecollections.org/2017/05/john-f-kennedy-announces-plans-for-improved-immigration-laws-june-11-1963/

You can see how much the Greek and Italian communities weighed on Kennedy's thinking because of his letter to Congress. Is this to say black activists played zero role? No. But it's to say that the chauvinism of claiming they played the major or only role is ahistorical.

In fact during the hearings on 1965 immigration reform legislation, members of congress kept swearing up and down that it would not significantly increase immigration from non-white countries. They were wrong, but argumentation shows how much the debate tilted twds E. Europeans.

In a way, the struggle for Italian and Greek and Pole immigration rights paved the way for immigration rights for everyone else.

For an example of exactly what was being said when this bill passed, look at Senator Edward Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate: "It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society."
