Voting patterns of black immigrants to the US and their US-born descendants

What are the voting patterns of black immigrants to the US and their US-born descendants? Futurist110 (talk) 05:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

This is very difficult to assess but this article may be of interest to you. It should be obvious but is worth pointing out that black immigrants from Cuba are quite different in their approach to politics than those from Haiti, and those who came from Somalia have had a major political influences in the few districts where they are dominant. Former Jamaicans and Dominicans and Nigerians and Brazilians and many other countries of origin will all bring distinct linguistic/cultural/ culinary influences to politics, and immigrant medical students may have politics different from immigrant janitors or immigrant entrepreneurs or nurses. Those who served in the armed services may be distinct from those who didn't. Older traditionalists are obviously distinct from second generation innovators. In other words, it is complex and not subject to predictable cliches. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Operation Highjump was conducted well after the War's end. Who's telling you it's part of WWII? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
It's as much part of World War II as Trump is the current President of the United States, i.e. only in the minds of people with a very shaky grip on rationality or in some truly horrific alternate reality.
