When you hire based on race you are going to get the quality of individual that would take a job based on their race. Being chosen for my race would make me ashamed as a mother ****. Knowing my race had a factor rather than my skill, character, and training. I wouldn't accept such a job unless desperate. I imagine a black employer hiring based on race would attract some marginal and angry talent. Any brother I've known would find that disgusting.GHETTOBLASTER » 15 Apr 2022, 6:33 pm » wrote: ↑ I worked for a Negro Defense Contractor in the 1980s and have a book full of truthful stories to tell you.
In short, Mister Williams had no choice but to fire his hand picked Negro Foremen / All Negro Crews who almost destroyed his business [several times] and bring in competent WHITE FOREMEN / White employees in order to save his business.
The term "AFRO-AMERICAN ENGINEERING" was probably invented back then.
His hired hands were guys who ON PAPER [DD 214s] were all qualified to do the work.Neo » 15 Apr 2022, 6:39 pm » wrote: ↑ When you hire based on race you are going to get the quality of individual that would take a job based on their race.

Impressive.Vegas » 15 Apr 2022, 6:47 pm » wrote: ↑ This is true. African American history is quite fascinating. If you ever get a chance, read anything by Lerone Bennet, but mostly "The Shaping of Black America." I have read quite a bit of history of black America. It's impossible to have obtained the wealth that we have without slavery or exploitation of blacks after they were freed. The history is so dense with examples after examples, it would be impossible to go over all of it.
A lot is said about their contributions to agricultural commodities when they were on the plantations. That's obviously important. However, there is much else that exploitation of blacks provided. One example, that I found interesting, was the shaping of neighborhoods. Harlem was the first known ghetto. Landlords saw the potential of money to be made off blacks by providing them with **** accommodations. Harlem neighborhoods used to be filled with whites. However, whites were too expensive to please. Landlords weren't making much money off of them. They knew that if they lured blacks into the buildings, then whites would move out. Sure enough, landlords pandered to the blacks. The whites moved out. The difference is that the landlords had no obligation to spend money on their apartments. Which is why they were ****. Landlords made bank while the neighborhoods segregated into black/white. From there, the government saw the potential of the community as a whole benefitting from a socioeconomic standpoint. The rest is history, we still have the ghettos today.
Yet you fail to mention that railroads were built with slave labor then with a reduced wage labor.Cannonpointer » 15 Apr 2022, 6:09 pm » wrote: ↑ Yeah, no.
The agrarian south was poor. The industrial north was where the weath was.
Still, nice try. Don't panic - the reparations will continue. The gravy train is still rolling.
Stop referring to Africans as one people. They were not nor are they today.roadkill » 15 Apr 2022, 6:09 pm » wrote: ↑ Black Africans enslaved Black Africans...and they kept more black slaves for themselves than they sold to the western hemisphere.
Leftist history was a lie to the world.

We already know the problem. No sense discussing it with republicans. What are the democrats here doing about it?

Or did your indoctrination center fail to teach you that since it exposes some "inconvenient facts" you don't want to discuss???
Are you going to push that BULL **** on everyone when there is absolutely ZERO facts surrounding that statement??Sunny » 16 Apr 2022, 7:30 am » wrote: ↑ Do you even realize that the two parties change ideologies with one another in the 20th century?

The FACTS are that the Democrats had to "rebrand" and they simply omitted the NASTY STUFF they did to blacks for over a century and a half.
You are a MORON if you think for one second that we buy into that one, MORONIC IMBECILE!!!
