This article could be a start on the “discussion about race” that the felon Eric Holder said the nation was too scared to have. A lot of issues raised in this article. The companies say American workers are stoned, lazy, having to pull up their pants all the time so they can’t work, late, lazy, looking to get fired and file a lawsuit, etc... And the “Black Lives Matter” folks, with their violence and entitlement attitude, seem to support that view. We had good friends whose business regularly paid off people who purposely got fired and then sued, just because it cost less to settle with them than to go to court, even if they had impeccable records proving the fired person was fired for not doing the work. So it can be a real problem.
But those who are not like that could very easily get fired by companies who exploit that stereotype in order to get cheaper foreign labor that they can exploit more easily.
If a company requires a rigorous timed physical demonstration (such as digging a 4- deep trench in 5 minutes) to Americans who apply but not to foreigners, it tells exactly what the deal is.
I don’t think any red-blooded American wants Americans of any stripe who are willing to work and capable of doing the work well to be kept out of work by foreigners who allow American companies to run on “sweat-shop” type conditions - all pushed on America by the very politicians who claim to be for “worker rights”, but use this for campaign cash, power, and the ability to commit election fraud.
I think this issue helps Trump, because frustrated Americans - including Blacks and Hispanics - need there to be an honest discussion, and Trump is one of the few people who can actually do that. I think Cruz can also do it but it would be harder for him because he’s not a celebrity. As somebody else said elsewhere, Trump has been seen by the masses making decisions bout who gets fired and who gets rewarded, so people can see his work ethic and can judge for themselves whether he is “racist”. They’ve tried him out on fairness, and they know he will level with them.
It’s way past time for an honest discussion, so all races/ethnicities can see that what the vast majority of us want - including the “conservatives” so many want to demonize - is for the innocent to be rewarded and protected. There are some bad players, though, who exploit everybody they can, for personal gain. Obama and his handlers are definitely in that group of people, along with all his enablers. The sooner every demographic realizes that they are being hurt by that exploitation, the sooner we can reject this crap and get back to merit-based standards.
I am generally despondent over the prospects of ever really having an “honest discussion about race” in our country. The Doctrine of Politically Correct Thought and Speech declares a number of topics as “off limits,” and unless we can put these topics on the agenda, the honest discussion isn’t going to happen.
Some of those topics are:
1. The role of the government in destroying, through its welfare and dependency programs, traditional black cultural constructs that promoted education, work, family, and church;
2. Failure of blacks to take accountability for their acts, as opposed to blaming others for their predicament;
3. Continued adherence to the “Black Code,” a doctrine that requires all blacks to support another black person when engaged in any dispute or confrontation with a white person, regardless of how wrong the black person is in the dispute.
These things are patently obvious to any thinking white person, but no one is permitted to mention them in public discourse. Because of that, the “honest discussion about race” will never take place because it lacks the element of honesty.
