From what I can understand, there's a lot of animosity currently between the chassidim and the Black community in Brooklyn (maybe it's always been this way and it has flare ups)

That doesn't quite make sense, as the Satmar are in Williamsburg, which was never particularly black. BUT. I have heard that sone Satmar families have bought up properties in poor black Brooklyn communities, leading to gentrification. And/or they charge higher rents.
So I guess I kind of get it. Except those anti colonial Yiddishists tend to live in those neighborhoods too
