Obama, like Mugabe learns the treasury runs dry very quickly and then what? I hope he gets out of town fast. This revenge stuff runs out of steam as the pockets of wealth get drained and more often than not that wealth gets sent only to his cronies and not the voters who felt they were going to get some. Idiots.


How Illegal Immigration Hurts Black America
Quote:


With national unemployment hovering around 10 percent and black male unemployment at a staggering 17.6 percent, it's just not true that undocumented workers are doing the jobs that we won't do.

In October 2008, amidst claims that one of its subsidiaries was knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, North Carolina poultry producer House of Raeford Farms initiated a systematic conversion of its workforce.

Following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid that nabbed 300 undocumented workers at a Columbia Farms processing plant in Columbia, S.C., a spooked House of Raeford quietly began replacing immigrants with native-born labor at all of its plants. Less than a year later, House of Raeford�s flagship production line in Raeford, N.C., had been transformed, going from more than 80 percent Latino to 70 percent African-American, according to a report by the Charlotte Observer.

Four years later, with national unemployment hovering around 10 percent and black male unemployment at a staggering 17.6 percent, it seems even less likely that immigrants are filling only those jobs that Americans won�t deign to do. Just ask Delonta Spriggs, a 24-year-old black man profiled in a November Washington Post piece on joblessness, who pleaded, �Give me a chance to show that I can work. Just give me a chance.�

What Does 'Racial Socialism' Sound Like to You?
By James Lewis
Quote:


The United States today has slipped toward race-based socialism: That's the true name for an overwhelming bias for one race above others, in employment, promotion, and educational opportunities. Our media are constantly stirring the witch's brew of racial grievances, constantly making black people feel aggrieved and white people feel accused. Our schools drive that lesson home with young and innocent kids in a totally ruthless way. Repeat that for twelve years of schooling and TV, and you have a brainwashed kid.

That is what European socialists have done with class envy for the last hundred years: whip up the poor against the middle and the rich. It's in their standard bag of tricks. The American Left has just added racial grievances to class anger and resentment, always feeding more and more power to the racial socialists to buy peace for the very grievances they have whipped up in the first place. The NAACP today practices racial socialism. So does Obama. "Racial Ssocialism" drives the Left's current assault on American values. That's why Jeremiah Wright is such a significant part of Obama's life. Wright specialized in whipping up racial anger for political purposes. Obama's career was powered by it.

Only 12.3 percent of Americans are black, and they cannot command a majority vote. It's therefore necessary to add gender socialism, because half the population are women. If enough women can be made to feel rage against normative America, along with blacks, Hispanics, and the poor, you've got majority control of the country. You can add the wackier Greens, the ones who fall for the global warming scam, the anti-nuclear scam, and all the other anti-scientific Luddites who vote Left. The Democrats control our major cities with a coalition of those whipped-up grievance groups.

We are no longer a society run by talent, work, and opportunity. Like ancient Egypt and Sumer, we are a society where the ruling class exploits its productive workers by taxing their labor, talent, and ability to recognize and use new opportunities.

A Bus System Reopens Rifts in South Africa

Joao Silva for The New York Times
The newer buses in Johannesburg offer a smoother ride for workers who commute to wealthy suburbs from distant townships.

By CELIA W. DUGGER
Published: February 21, 2010
SOWETO, South Africa � Since the days of apartheid, when blacks were required to live in distant townships like this, Susan Hanong, a 67-year-old maid, has commuted to the wealthy northern suburbs of Johannesburg, one of the spectral figures trudging through darkened streets on long trips to wash white people�s clothes and mind their children.

and you gave three links. Are we supposed to choose which one is almost the most important one? It would be nice if we had some sort of criteria to use. Perhaps you could include a link to the most important essay, so we can compare.

Sure, the first link showed how a whole class of people can be hoodwinked. Obama like Hispanics better, there are more H voters than the B variety. B believed what they wanted to, O let them. Race con in action and it happened in Ground Zero USA.

The second says most of what I wanted to say, it came very close.

Third article constitutes genuine psych ops, its pure brainwashing. This is an article that really didn't need to exist.

Its my position the second article missed an important point. Horrific cons exists in this area. I consider Simon Mol to be of the same moral character as Gordon Brown. You can find out who both are by yourself.

My concern with this idea has been to be able to differentiate between the frauds and the .... people that want really want genuine justifiable equity if you can ever elucidate what that really is.

My big concern is the race/conscience industry is causing a bubble and a really destructive one at that. It offers people nothing outside of the depleted treasuries. BO is a race industry professional, I'm certain he has never had productive job, perhaps law professing might be counted as that but I will do so with a grain of salt.

Many of the things we see are an illusion. Forced busing/school integration was a mirage and a fraud. We were bullied for 30 plus years and we spent billions and there is no evidence it did any good and now the bed rock of busing, the White student, is disappearing. What mirage will be created next to make excuses and causes and justify another useless industry and dictatorial agency?

Poll: More than half of Hispanics identify as conservative


Quote:
09:05 AM CST on Wednesday, February 24, 2010

AUSTIN � A bent to conservatism and family makes Hispanics a promising pool of votes for Republicans, but the party's targeting of illegal immigrants has withered its attraction.

Regardless, Gov. Rick Perry has fared relatively well, perhaps because of his anti-Washington rhetoric and his careful immigration stance, a recent poll indicates.
Also Online

It shows more than half of Texas Hispanics call themselves conservative, and a surprising 23 percent say they might participate in Tuesday's GOP primary. Among those, Perry leads Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison by 2 to 1, according to the poll, commissioned by an Austin consultant for a national group of Hispanic legislative leaders.


Good for Texas. That state is gonna go places.

I disagree. Forced busing was probably the least intrusive policy the Supreme Court could mandate to rectify a great injustice. And it worked for awhile, until the 1974 ruling in Millikin v. Bradley that students could only be bused across district lines when evidence of de jure segregation across multiple school districts occurred. This was an understandable (no reason to rectify a wrong if there wasn't one) if unfortunate ruling. It meant whites could escape forced busing by moving out to the suburbs to where blacks had not lived and thus where segregation was never an issue. White flight ensued.

Meanwhile, there is evidence that desegregation has had positive effects. But more comprehensive educational reform is needed, and lets face it, comprehensive reform is really, really difficult.

Hi - thank you for your reply. These improvements were marginal and the improvements did not happen in all areas. The money and effort could have been spent on on education directly and not on the institution of supervision. Segregation deprived Black students of nothing, there was no injustice. I understand the situation could be made to look bad but in my opinion, the effect amounted to nothing appreciable.

Well, its pretty commonly accepted that segregated black schools were in every way inferior to their white equivalents. But, if we can't agree on this, I doubt we'll agree on much concerning the subject.

Again, things looked bad but they really were not. If you want to argue segregation is demeaning then you�d have an argument but segregation didn�t seem to have an effect on school perfomance. Actually you can�t even argue that as we routinely had sex segregation (boys girls academies) in schools and even now educators make African American academies by choice.

It looks like African Americans have been provided with fair education opportunites for a long time. The home equation comes next I think. Our system was designed for two parents and a stable home. It looks like schools need to provide jobs for Dads and Dads will have to stay married and home. Will the system provide for that? How can you make reform for that manner of criteria?

I'm not arguing that racial segregation necessarily leads to inferior schools for blacks. I'm arguing that the intentional and total racial segregation under the Jim Crow regime in the Southern United States meant direct and immediate inferior educational opportunities for blacks.
