Your mistake is separating the two. Plenty of immigrant families (Hispanic and Haitian I see and others) have the man out working off the books while the wife or girlfriend is getting lots of free stuff via the welfare system, food stamps, EBT, SNAP. section 8 and so on
The suburbs are what Section 8 is made for just ask Eric Holder and Obama
I'm afraid you have confused conciseness with ignorance, and assumed too much about what I did not say:
(1) Nothing I said indicates personal support for Spanish as a second language in our system of government.
(2) If we keep slaughtering our babies, one may expect the issue of legal or illegal residents to take up the slack of less intellectually demanding employment; therefore moving our public trends closer to those of the supplanting culture.
(3) Puerto Ricans are not Mexicans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, etc. As a territory, I believe they are considered born Americans, needing nothing but a birth certificate to change residence to the mainland. Their school training includes effective training in English as a requirement.
(4) What I hoped to imply was that the work habits of Hispanics (also applying to Asians' tendencies) relative to those of the slovenly classes we have generated through our publicly supported schooling and welfare implementation, "white" or "black."
(5) Again, we need to stop bringing the race issue to the fore, and start tracking whose money is being invested in opportunists like Nutter, Sharpton, the Jacksons, and the like. I think you will find the controlling but hidden sums do not necessarily come from the vote-supplying "plantation" inhabitants. (Where did Obama get his financing to move from rags to riches? Hmm?)
FWIW
Think about Emma Lazarus, and her versification of "the huddled masses yearning to be free" (versus the wretched refuse we seem to be creating, rather than relieving, by our socialistic-leaning governmental policies).
This fall I was teaching in a West Philadelphia high school near University City. I was immensely relieved when I had an offer in the suburbs. The conduct problems, tension, and unsafe neighborhoods were more than I wanted to deal with on a permanent basis. The mayor is unwilling to face the truth. This article treads quite lightly on deep problems within the city. There are similar issues of class and attitude in the suburbs, but the numbers aren’t as overwhelming as they are in the city neighborhoods.
single parent families are the norm in the black community
as long as this is the case they have NO chance.
And I’m not the slightest interested in their plight after obammy takes from me and honest workers and gives to his taker people.
“Why would anybody in their right minds want to deal with inner city blacks?
That is what suburbs are for, right?” Exactly right and that’s why the federal govt. came up with section 8 housing.
Correct! And sorry. Probably the result of working in Philadelphia for 20 years!
Also ... although I would deny being "prejudiced," I am a notorious and unfashionable European Chauvinist and snobbish believer in the absolute hegemony of Western Christian Civilization ... When but a callow youth, I was lured to Philadelphia from the dank Down East woods by charming "Summer People." They led me to believe that was what Philadelphia was all about! True enough ... up to a point.
Even in those days, when Frank was the Police Chief, it was true only until dusk. After the fox hunting crowd went far out the Main Line, the place was even then getting to be more like pay day in Lagos.
It was to take retiring NCOs from the armed services, many of whom were African-Americans, and form a Disciplinary Corps for schools. You know, sort of a "whip the bloody natives into shape," notion... so they might be taught something in a systematic fashion.. Very Kipling. After all, these imps'o'Satan are the "white man's burden," are they not?
What a great idea! What a short-lived proposal! Admitting that violent, illiterate African-American Treyvons are a problem? Of course, with this example before them, other utes all too often go down the same gangsta path!
Discipline? Can't be done. Bastardy? Drugs? Gang Culture? Hush, you racist pig. It's due to Sickle Cell Anemia, low self-esteem, Republican caused poverty, and ça va sans dire, RACISM.
Yes, there is no end to the evil perpetrated upon the noble savage by that ole debbil, the hegemonic, chauvinistic, euro-centric, patriarchal, imperial, gender-normative, colonial, hierarchical white male.
psst! IMNSVHO, it just might be worth a try as a pilot program in some out of the way place? Wouldn't it be wonderful if a harsh caning was the worst thing young Trayvon ever received in his life?
No prob -- I hope I wasn't rude -- sometimes I mean to be, but not this time. I live not far away, in Wilmington, and have heard enough of Michael Nutter to be real sick of him and whoever supports him.
We have enough problems here of the same kind, overlapping up and down the Atlantic. The good news is that I don't have to live in New Jersey. The bad news is that all the liberals moving into New Castle County are moving Delaware away from its heritage as The First State to ratify and uphold the Constitution of the United States. As you know.
