I used to teach, mentor and tutor black people to help them pass IT certifications in my early 20s. I’d provide them with the latest training resources and pass on job referrals to them from recruiters I had worked with in the past. It was a field that didn’t require a lot of money to get into and provided great room for growth and stability for people who didn’t come from the best backgrounds. I spent a lot of my personal time doing that because I was fortunate to be doing well so early in life and wanted the same for others who had been way less fortunate than me. Today in 2026 I’d no longer feel comfortable doing this because the field has been over saturated with nepotistic “legal” immigrants. A bunch of the recruiters barely speak English and they offer fake jobs. The pay doesn’t scale the way it used to and the treatment of ppl in contract positions has degraded significantly. This was a very affordable and legal path to success for a lot of black ppl who came from rougher backgrounds but had some talent. It’s not entirely gone but I don’t feel comfortable encouraging people to sign up for it. Black Americans should absolutely be the most concerned demographic about immigration. It’s time to stand up for yourselves and your one and only home.

@UsingLyft The Indians will often say they are “black” so it looks like companies are hiring American Blacks.

@UsingLyft Had family members ask me about this, said lightly the things you said still got strange looks. I don’t think most people have the mental to remotely understand these things at scale. It requires so much knowledge with several layers of cause/effect plus hypotheticals.

@UsingLyft I understand your concerns but you didn't mention the elephant in the room. DEI. How come? 🤔 Because black people are getting hired in many other fields whether they're qualified or not. Using the same tactics that Indian 🇮🇳 recruiters use. You're not victims. White people are.

@UsingLyft You’re in tech?

@UsingLyft Outperformed in every metric, African immigrants are the new blacks, ones who actually get shit done without excuses, you'll continue to weep online like a beta while you're replaced

Tech used to be a great wide-open field for folks with a lot of different places to fit in and find a good job and often without a degree. Perfect place for people you’re describing. The whole segment has been strip mined by Indians. Jobs that used to go to Americans trying to better themselves are going to foreign Indians.

I have had this argument with progressives before. I have had numerous services provided over the years that in theory citizens could have done it: Flooring, Home construction 25 years ago, furniture delivery, roofing, Almost any appliance delivery So far black US citizens are Amazon drivers, postal workers, and believe it or not a black team installed my HVAC unit, etc Almost any service that can be subbed out goes to illegals. If blacks want cheaper rent, better compensation, help ICE. Protest the fucking ICE protesters. We did not have a Civil War so Democrats could bring in exploitable labor and reward them $billions.

@UsingLyft The pay has become very low, but it is still an improvement for Indians compared to the shit hole they come from. In the 2000s, tech salaries could comfortably buy you a home with a pool.

@UsingLyft I know I'm not the voice black people wanna hear it from. But I've been tryin to tell any that will listen that the immigration issue is just as detrimental for them as us. A large part of the black demographic is filled with recent foreigners and their kids. Easily 30-50%

@UsingLyft Back when I was in IT there were a lot of black dudes that picked up the skills in the Navy. I had one job where the UNIX guys were either old white looking hippies or black Navy vets.

@UsingLyft Yes let’s save all our hate for Somalians, white and Black people unite against these fraudsters

@UsingLyft Yes, exactly. My black coworkers and friends don’t stand a chance against the Indian fraudsters.

@UsingLyft @SpookByYourDoor

@UsingLyft Construction the same but illegal immigrants

@UsingLyft Money for contracting roles have also dried up Im told that work model dont work anymore I have always been Full Time employee but I know people who has been doing contract work fir 20* years

@UsingLyft I’ve said it a couple of times now, but anti Indian violence is going to start skyrocketing and the black community will be a significant source of it. Corrupt, nepotistic Indians have screwed the west and the breaking point has been crossed.

@UsingLyft Steve? Steve Sailer? Is that you?

@UsingLyft Had a buddy that worked for msft in his office of 30 people there were only 3 American born citizens working there every single other employee was H1B he said he learned conversational Hindi and it helped him land jobs by talking to the hiring managers!

@UsingLyft Blacks will support it because whites don't support it, even if it hurts blacks more than anybody.

@UsingLyft x.com/i/status/20143…

@UsingLyft Lower and mid level IT jobs should absolutely not be staffed by immigrants

@UsingLyft The problem is, even once they take over a department, to the DEI drones in the HR department and to the C-suite, Indians still count as An Diversity for the numbers they stick in the glossy reports. They don't care who the Diversity is, as these poor guys found out.

@UsingLyft My job has had like 8 different Indian managers in the last 2 years. I find that really weird lol White people really fumbled the bag man 🤦🏽‍♂️

@UsingLyft Their home is africa tho

@UsingLyft No need for the scare quotes, they are in fact here legally

@UsingLyft Same with construction and restaurant jobs. We got them when we were young and it taught us work ethic. Those jobs are gone now to illegals

@UsingLyft Yeah, I've been concerned with immigration and job offshoring since the 70's as a teenager. I couldn't understand how others could not see the disaster unfolding.

@UsingLyft I've been telling you need to fight off the anti black invasions coming from all 4 corners of the planet

@UsingLyft your IT certification is worthless and it's got nothing to do with immigrants, "legal" or otherwise.

@UsingLyft Black Americans=immigrants? If you mean African immigrants I guess but no, not regular black Americans
