This is an interesting bit from the Telegraph late last week. Some members of Britons black population think immigration is out of control in the UK. Emphasis is mine.
Black History Month is all about learning. I certainly learnt something this year. I trekked across England as a panelist on the Great Debate Tour. The tour travels to university campuses through October and November and invites black and ethnic minority students to Question Time style debates on immigration, integration, voter registration and enterprise.
To hear black people opposed to immigration is nothing new. In 2011 a study by Searchlight Educational Trust found 21 per cent of black Britons believed that all immigration into the UK should be stopped permanently, or at least until the UK’s economic situation improves. The study found 17 per cent of black Britons believed immigration had been a bad thing for Britain. However, what stunned me was the anger I witnessed.
One example (go to the Telegraph for the others):
At Greenwich University, a black charity worker from East London shared his deep-seated irritation at how the local culture had been transformed by Asian and Somali immigrants: “I feel uncomfortable” he said. His candid comment led to an awkward silence. [It is not about race, it is about culture!—ed]
Immigration is the one political issue that motivates British blacks.
One concern of the Great Debate founders is that blacks are not as politically active as whites. But immigration was the one issue black people in these audiences did have a political opinion about. And black Brits are uncomfortable with it.
Photo is from this story you may have heard about. Banks fear that money being sent out of western countries to Somalia may end up in the hands of Islamic terrorists. These London Somalis who know how to work the system and, whose population is dramatically increasing, want the tap left open.
