Peak Stupidity readers may or may not remember Coming to America, one of the many funny Eddie Murphy movies from the mid/late 1980s. Readers may not know Eddie Murphy either, come to think about it. He was a very funny black actor. I'd seen a number of his movies, but I don't recall Coming to America being one of them. I'm sure it was "cute". Eddie Murphy could do that funny foreign accent, as I've seen in clips and probably the preview (now called the "trailer" - maybe it always was?)
Yeah, sure, who'd have been worried? A handful, few hundred, couple of thousand maybe, strange but funny, and usually unexpectedly intelligent black people from that far-away continent coming to America was like "spice in the stew". The stew was still large-majority White and than 13% native black American population. Yeah, and they were funny, oh, and seemed unusually competent at stuff.
Otherwise, we've been told that the 13% Black! contingent in America will remain at that proportion, with fairly low fertility rates. I don't argue those numbers here, though I have noticed the dysgenic process due to 6 decades of the American Welfare State in this crowd. As an example, I've worked with 3 very competent light-skinned black women, with a total of 1! (factorial or not, same thing) child among them.* Then at the store, I'll see 2 or 3 children in tow behind the large single black Mom for whom there's much more chance of her spending my tax money there (easy to spot Food Stamps are a thing from long ago) and in reduced rent, bills, WIC, etc. This is not good.
Over the last 5 years, I've noticed that there has been a BIG increase in the number of direct-from-Africa African people working various jobs that I interact with. It's obvious from the accents, as different as they might be. It's refreshing that they don't speak Ebonics, but for many, they are not that much easier to understand - they just are a refreshing change ... BUT, for the numbers.
I have noticed this and written a handful or two of times in the iSteve threads, with little to no feedback.** Mr. Sailer has plenty more to write about. That includes his "World's most important ("scariest" might be better) graph" of African population increase. His point is "Watch out! They can't all come here." (If even 5% of the continent did, we'd be inundated.) What he's NOT noticed, as I have, is that they ARE coming, and NOW. I am not even referring to the Bai Dien imposed 12,000,000*** "newcomers" from all reaches of the Earth, including Africa. I understand, there's no connection here with track, baseball, or golf course architecture, but still...
Mr. Sailer's "noticing", as he explains, connects local observations to the interesting stats he obtains and analyzes. Peak Stupidity usually has no stats. We're often in the Edie Brickell mindset: "I know what I know, if you know what I mean."
However, I will brag that, from being in this world and country for a long while, I have some good perspective, and I can also extrapolate and estimate pretty well, with a technical mind. That link goes to the time of the Kung Flu PanicFest. OK, I got fooled for 2 or 3 weeks right when the story changed from a Chinese story - May they live in interesting time - I don't need that drama! - to the American Infotainment that went on for years. By the end of that short period, I'd seen what was going on around me, a nothgingburger. Is my area special? In the realm of infectious disease, not it's not.
There was New York, the entry point for the Chinese and a hotbed of bedbugs and new incoming diseases, old and new. However, my area is not different in some special way from the rest of the country. A nothingburger here is a nothinburger for America.
This same extrapolation process has served me in seeing the high level of African influx. We are in no hotbed where you Come to America directly. That'd be also New York, in the general sense, with, again, before 25 years back and especially the Bai Dien surge, Cuban Miami, Mexican southern California, and maybe a few other locations. I have seen many Africans working in NYC, but then, in other locations that are not special, I've seen numbers that extrapolate to, well, here you go:
That 13% ain't agonna hold, which is what I've written in an iSteve comment or two. npr (yeah, ugghhh!) celebrated black history month 2 years back by telling us 1 in 10 Black people in the U.S. are migrants. Here's what's driving that shift. (Yeah, one of those type headlines again: Strange foreigners moving to your town. Here's what type of ammo you need to stock up on.)
From a '17 article by Pew Research, African immigrant population in U.S. steadily climbs:
There were 2.1 million African immigrants living in the United States in 2015, up from 881,000 in 2000 and a substantial increase from 1970 when the U.S. was home to only 80,000 foreign-born Africans. They accounted for 4.8% of the U.S. immigrant population in 2015, up from 0.8% in 1970.That was 9 years ago!****
The growth is evident among recently arrived immigrants. When compared with other major groups who arrived in the U.S. in the past five years, Africans had the fastest growth rate from 2000 to 2013, increasing by 41% during that period. (Africans are also a fast-growing segment of the black immigrant population in the U.S., increasing by 137% from 2000 to 2013.)
That 13% will only hold if the other contingents of foreigners, from the Orient, India, Central America, Haiti, the Middle East, and wherever can keep at it - "it" being the invasion - as hard as they have been. Either way, none of this is good for White American society.
Have many other Americans noticed this huge deal? I will explain in a follow-up post tomorrow why these people are erroneously welcomed en masse. I'll also point out some other stories and include more data. You want data, you got it, but I already knew this from keeping my eyes open. I don't need to read The New York Times. (You can't make me!!)
* Going by their ages, only one of them would have much chance of having another, but she had no plans on it.
** I'll eliminate this footnote later, if I end up doing a search on a better computer in The Unz Review for these, noting any "responses" or replies, reporting back if I do.
*** Just pick your own number, as nobody really knows. I've seen 6 million to 15 million written for this 3 1/2 year period.
**** The data is 9 years old, while the article says it was updated (in some way) in '17.

PS: "Since December 2022, Denver has welcomed and assisted nearly 42,000 newcomers from the U.S. southern border, providing them with essential services and resources."
42 measly thousand?! Denver needs to up its game. After all, adding Bai Dien's newcomers to the original ~30 million brings it to somewhere around 40 million. The Denver metro area has a population of 2.9 million. That is somewhere around 0.,8% of the US population. They should be welcoming and assisting in the neighborhood - no, not MY neighborhood! - of 1/3 of a million peopls, so 7-8 times as many,.
Not only that, but Denver, Colorado is a Sanctimony City, meaning it should welcome and assist more than its share. Shameful! I should write a letter to the editor.
