Blacks concerned by Obama's focus on immigrants

[jonsensback]

Gee, I dunno Sonia Sotomayor could probably handle most people's jobs just fine...

Can't really see her laying a roof or hanging drywall,lol.

[bmore_ken]

Oh so musicmd is your spokesperson here on the board?

Not at all. I'm just agreeing with him that most black people tend to have the same opinion on bigotry, which is on full display in this thread. Not really rocket science

[Marshan Man]

There are some good carpenters, roofers and drywall teams that are hispanic and they may not be taking jobs away from blacks since you don't see many in those trades in Harford County. But damn skippy they are taking jobs away from less skilled and more expensive white workers/contractors and more power to them.

Most of us could care less about skin color when we are paying for a job to be done, we just want the best quality and price without being bent over.

Some illegals don't even make enough money to put a roof over their heads. I've repeatedly witnessed bands of illegals squatters who set up shop in the woods.

I often have to walk the woods for my job, and it's really bad in Montgomery County.

I don't blame any one for not accepting wages that won't afford them a roof to sleep under.

The numbers compiled by the National Employment Law Project are absolutely stunning. Most of the jobs lost during the recent recession were mid-wage jobs, and most of the jobs created since then have been low wage jobs. This represents a fundamental shift in our economy. Just check out these figures….

-21 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were low wage jobs paying between $7.69 and $13.83 an hour.
-58 percent of the jobs created since the end of the recession have been low wage jobs paying between $7.69 and $13.83 an hour.

-60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were mid-wage jobs paying between $13.84 and $21.13 an hour.
-22 percent of the jobs created since the end of the recession have been mid-wage jobs paying between $13.84 and $21.13 an hour.

I don't see that at all in Harford County. I don't know who is legal or illegal, but I see hispanics at stores restaraunts and yes evel 7-Eleven in the morning who appear gainfully employed, clean with money to spend. the bonly woods dwellers we have as far as I know are the usual suspects who would live there in any economy and they in the most part are black and white, at about equal numbers.

Really? So you're saying she'd be the one to fix my car, wire my house, or pave my driveway? Makes me feel really inadequate since I can't do a lick of lawyering or judging.

Time to go back to school!

I said she could handle it, not that she was trained in it. Im sure if she was trained it she could fix your car, driveway or whatever... Just like if you were trained to be a lawyer you could lawyer.

The point was its not the "Hispanic" that generally can't get any type of job other than lowkill/low wage, it's the illegal... because typically they have low skills. Low skills = low wages. People tend to think illegal and Hispanic are synonymous and use ther terms interchangeably.

My point was that's not the case.

"WASHINGTON — No sooner did President Barack Obama and a group of senators separately outline proposals to revamp the nation’s immigration system than the phone lines on several African-American-oriented talk radio shows heated up with callers blasting the plans.

“Amnesty,” complained Frankie from Maryland recently on the nationally syndicated “Keeping it Real with Al Sharpton.”

A political payback to Hispanic voters that does little or nothing for African-Americans, reasoned Sam from Milwaukee on Wisconsin’s 1290 WMCS AM’s “Earl Ingram Show.”

“Our issues are not being highlighted and pushed, and things like gay marriage and (immigration) are being pushed to the forefront,” the caller said. “Hispanics are effectively organized. For us not to be organized and for us not to hold our leadership accountable is disheartening.”

Why not use the actual title of the article?

Is the use of the term "black" politically incorrect?

[Fang]

It's really hard being a white person in this economy...

I've been saying all along Obama actually has done a decent job in regards to unemployment...... for white people.

[musicmd]

The one exception to that rule generally is bigotry. we sort of have solidarity on that issue

Ken, I believe you just lost him. I wonder how long it will take to delete this.

Such a shame since Bush did a better job.

OK, what in particular on this thread do you consider to be bigotry?

Bush did a better job for everybody.

No, it isn't.

For starters with I wonder if this thread would even exist if 90% of blacks had voted Hillary onto office?

[bmore_ken]

Bush did a better job for everybody.

That's funny
