**maybe this will help your racist ass see why AA is needed and since you want to stigmatize AA....stigmatize this racist ass country that made AA necessary in the first place.....job discrimination is a significant factor in black poverty....which you could give a shit less about.**


Black workers face a ‘jobs crisis’
They are more likely than others in L.A. County to stay jobless, a UCLA report says.
By Natalie Kitroeff
Black people living in Los Angeles County have been more likely than the rest of the population to remain unemployed or to drop out of the workforce altogether in the wake of the 2007-09 recession, according to a new report conducted by UCLA.
Black workers have lost blue-collar jobs at about the same rate as whites in the county but seem to be less likely to find replacement work, the analysis said.
Seventeen percent of black workers were unemployed on average from 2011 to 2014, compared with 9% of white workers, according to the report, published Tuesday in conjunction with the L.A. Black Worker Center.
A quarter of black workers who had a high school degree or less were unemployed, compared with 14% of white workers.
Education helped bridge that gap but didn’t erase it. Nine percent of black workers with at least a bachelor’s degree were unemployed over that period, compared with 7% of white Angelenos.
“Los Angeles is in the throes of a black jobs crisis,” the report said.
The lack of work is part of the reason many black residents have abandoned Los Angeles altogether, at a time when the county’s population boomed, the report said. The black population in the county plunged by 122,032 people from 1980 to 2014, according to the report. The county has gained around 2.5 million residents overall during that time.
In the meantime, black workers have flocked to the Inland Empire, which includes Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Those counties gained a combined 260,494 black residents from 1980 to 2014.
“Black workers are often the last hired and first fired,” said Lola Smallwood Cuevas, the L.A. Black Worker Center’s founder. “If we don’t address the crisis, we will have a city and a county where there are no black workers.”
Construction has offered a lot of new jobs to Angelenos over the last several decades, but those positions don’t seem to be going to black workers. There were 7,012 black workers in construction in 2014, 2,000 fewer than there were in 1980, according to census data analyzed by UCLA.
That 23% drop compares with an overall increase of 120,840 construction workers of all races during those 34 years, or 80%.
Those new jobs aren’t going to white workers, either. There were nearly 40,000 fewer white construction workers in Los Angeles in 2014 compared with 1980, a decline of about 40%.
Latinos, however, have significantly upped their representation. There were more than 185,000 Latino construction workers in Los Angeles in 2014, five times as many as there were in 1980.
Manufacturing has been slashing jobs in the county over the last three decades. The number of black and white Angelenos in manufacturing declined by the same rate — about 77% — from 1980 to 2014. Latinos also lost some ground, but their ranks shrank by only 5% over the same period.
“The way that we heard in the Rust Belt we lost middle-class manufacturing jobs, you could say the same for black workers here in L.A.,” said Saba Waheed, a researcher at the UCLA Labor Center who co-authored the study.

I have pointed it out more than once; and I thought I used language so simple even a black boy like you could understand. I have never said that you are on welfare, I just don't believe your repeated empty claims of multiple post graduate degrees when you have the writing style of an eighth-grader. You try to justify these lapses by minimizing their importance, when in reality, you have poor impulse control and lose your temper easily. That's when the possum comes out, boy. Your mediocre presentations do not match your grandiose claims.
You have made an appearance on here as KHH1, as Democrat in 2016, and now as Proglodyte One. You have denied being these posters, and then claimed ownership of posts you made under those usernames. You cannot have it both ways, no matter what Louis Farrakhan tells you.

It's no surprise that the far right are mobilising against George Soros – he's the biggest threat to their global domination


George Soros has invested a good chunk of his extraordinary wealth in promoting liberal causes across the world, which has earned him the enmity of the far right
Tuesday 15 November 2016 17:50 GMT|
When Donald Trump was confronted over whether he took advantage of tax loopholes, he said: 'I absolutely used it, and so did Warren Buffett, and so did George Soros and so did many people who Hillary is getting money from' Bloomberg

Influential financial analysts Zerohedge claim George Soros “singlehandedly created the European refugee crisis”; xenophobic rag Breitbart says Soros’s funding of Black Lives Matter was part of an agenda to swing the US presidential election; and Donald Trump’s favourite crank Alex Jones says “Soros is behind the Muslim takeover of the West”. In August, hackers thought to be linked to the Russian government stole thousands of documents from Soros’s foundation’s servers and put them online, placing at risk many of the brave individuals the foundation funds.

As the world turns to the hard right, one man has become a figure of hate for resurgent nationalists across the globe: Soros has become the No 1 target for the alt-right – a figure central to wild conspiracy theories – because nationalists want to destroy for good the idea that democracy or liberal values can be promoted, or encouraged.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. The fall of the Berlin Wall, 27 years ago this month, was predicted to herald a new era of freedom across the globe. After it came down, Soros put his cash to work investing in freedom. Within a few years after the decline of communism he had pledged $1bn for reconstructing civil society.

He gave an unprecedented grant of $250m to transform how liberal humanities were taught in Russia (communist textbooks had to be rewritten from scratch to explain how democracy worked), and another $250m to build a new university in Budapest. He personally gave $50m in aid to Bosnia and $100m to keep Russian scientists in the country to avoid a brain drain to the West. Since then, he has donated an estimated $11bn to progressive causes including the promotion of democracy, LGBT activism, support for refugees and migrants and the defence of human rights.


Editor of right-wing news site Breitbart says he may stand as Ukip leader and defends poster

He is the largest single donor in human history for the defence and strengthening of democracy. It was his harrowing childhood here in Europe that led him to donate his wealth in the way he has.

Soros escaped the Holocaust, but only just. As a child he was instructed by the authorities to give slips of paper telling fellow Jews to report to their rabbi at 9am the next morning. His father instantly understood the authorities were rounding up local Jews for deportation. He told the young Soros to tell every Jew he presented the paper with that they shouldn’t go. As Soros wrote in his biography: “There was one man I shall not forget. I took it to him and told him what my father had said. He said: ‘Tell your father that I am a law-abiding citizen, that I have always been a law-abiding citizen and I am not going to start breaking the law now.’ And that stayed with me forever.”

The horrors of the Holocaust instilled in Soros the need to tackle the racism and xenophobia found across European society. After the collapse of the USSR, he doubled his efforts to promote democracy beyond the Iron Curtain, saying: “The foundation began in Hungary. Its purpose was to help to build a country from which I wouldn't want to emigrate.”

What Soros funds is precisely what the new generation of populist far-right politicians fear. He supports fact-checkers to call out the misleading claims of the populists. One study of the methods of the Putin handbook put it: “Don’t worry at all about lying or presenting incomplete or otherwise inaccurate information.” Former US government security analyst Aaron Azlant notes Trump’s aides may have learned their post-truth politics while working closely with Kremlin agents in the Ukraine. Fact-checkers undermine these lies.

He also donates to groups that help migrants and refugees. For the new nationalists who believe in restricting the diversity of Europe and the US – essentially to keep both as white as possible – Soros’s support for migrants is to “flood Europe with hordes of third-world Muslims” because his aim is “fundamentally about the destruction of national borders”. The charge says much about the nationalist worldview. We are in a sorry state indeed if helping refugees is now a political act.

Because you people are lazy. If welfare wasn't available, then you would have to find a job, and show up everyday and keep it.

You say, We must address these issues! How about trying to be like everyone else and work for a living. Marry the ho your with now and raise those kids to respect something. Make them stay in school and get the same free education I received. Then help them find what they are good at and go to work. Drug dealing or the NBA are not wise career paths

Race relations will never change until we can have an honest conversation about it.

The race and victim card is all the dems want to talk about. And screw the idea of white privilege. I work for all I have

I'm not a BOY unless you are a girl.......that boy shit will get you shot saying it to the wrong person..but you know that...that is why you are online doing so.......you read into emotions I don't have...I explained expressiveness without an emotional component......again:

again-you people are so monolithic and inflexible that you all do not even understand the concept of separating the formal aspects of your lives from the informal aspects of it. One has nothing to do with the other.......you people need to learn to quit defining others based on your own lack of flexibility or experience only operating in a few limited environments.


I didn't say I wasn't a certain poster and I didn't say I was. I learned from ao about the type you share information with and they use it against you the first chance they get......that is why he wanted the degrees to go with the pictures...a frontal picture of my car for the tags claiming he thought I said I had a body kit which I dont'....don't do wheels or none of that bullshit...just buy nice stock wheels even asked me to post my licensce and now an OPP identity inquiry?

"I'm not a BOY unless you are a girl.......that boy shit will get you shot saying it to the wrong person..but you know that...that is why you are online doing so.......you read into emotions I don't have...I explained expressiveness without an emotional component......again:"

Once more, you call me a boy, and somehow you think you have the right to be offended when i return the favor. You operate on emotion; as I said, you have poor impulse control.
I can depend on you to make stupid grammatical mistakes with every post you make, boy, I can depend on you to offer insult and act oh so offended when it comes back to you.
I would be very careful about threatening to shoot anyone, boy. Someone might think you are stupid enough to try it.
Do I make myself clear, boy?
