so this cat and my dad work in the office of this furniture company and "naturally" (socially so) most of the cats in the factory are Mexican. So another way in which he says blacks are becoming whiter is the experience of otherness to a growing population of immigrants since blacks have been here forever, do not speak a common second language and are all US citizens

I dunno to what extent I agree with but the shit he says can't really be disputed on a fact-by-fact basis. Of course on the flipside, everyone is benefitting from immigrants in the same way, though that would be yet another similarity.

Curious to see what people think of and about this...

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
