Unexpected racism.
huh?
Such a small % of African-American farmers yet there seemed so many that were part of the lawsuit against the Department of Agriculture.
News analysts, reporters and correspondents—1.8%
Yeah, just check out any of the corrupt Regime Media, from CNN to The NY Times to MSNBC, ad nauseum.
RAs like in college dorms?
Good for all of these people, no matter how much esteem others place on their jobs. They’re not falling for socialists’ scheme to keep black people unemployed and dependent.
huh?
Not Huh...
HUD
There are some occupations that have very few women working in them. (There is a definate difference between men and women)
There are very few women engineers, programmers and electronic techs. That is in a way odd, most men are color blind to some degree and electronics techs need to be able to use color to read resistor coding. When it comes to dexterity and perception of things like color and design women have the edge. Men have the edge where physical strength, stamina and endurance are concerned.
There are always exceptions.
Why is this important? Men and women are not the same physically or mentally. Some ethnic groups have advantages and disadvantages along the same lines.
Why? I am not sure.
America would be a much better place if we had more African-American Millwrights...
Whats a Millwright?
That's an "occupation?"
“A millwright is a craftsman or tradesman engaged with the construction and maintenance of machinery.
“Early millwrights were specialist carpenters who erected machines used in agriculture, food processing and processing lumber and paper. In the early part of the Industrial Revolution, their skills were pressed into service building the earliest powered textile mills.
“Modern millwrights work with steel and other materials in addition to wood and must often combine the skills of several skilled trades in order to successfully fabricate industrial machinery or to assemble machines from pre-fabricated parts. The modern millwright must also be able to read blueprints and other schematics to aid him in the construction of complex systems. Millwrights are frequently unionized, although experienced millwrights often set themselves up as independent contractors.
Professional Welfare Recipients...46.9%
Professional Democrat voters 92.6%
A mechanic. Someone who works on pumps, engines, motors, rotating equipment.
God bless,
Tatt
Oh, now I get it. thx.
I was thinking the survey's purpose is more to stir up Democrat votes by continuing to stir the pot of racism. If the survey listed professional athletes, it wouldn't generate much angst.
I guess the low % of black journalists (and journolisters) proves the old, old white liberal adage,
“afrrirmative action for thee, but not for me!”
I suppose these aren’t large enough categories to make the cut, but any job requiring the ability to endure heat has a much higher percentage. The employees of a local brick manufacturer who work with the kilns are overwhelmingly black, and it’s not a low-paying job. Roofer used to be, now it’s largely hispanic immigrant.
I am an artist and I don’t remember ever having a black person in any of my classes or workshops. Interesting I never noticed that. They are wrong about the lack of black farmers/ranchers. Texas has lots of black cowboys and farmers. Maybe they are employees and not land owners but there are lots of them particularly along the Gulf Coast.
“Blacks should be becoming an irrelevant minority in this country. Many more Hispanics, many more Asians, etc. All with far less bitching and moaning. Their time has come and gone. Billions in handouts and so little to show for it. Move on.”

Agreed.
But let’s go with trillions. and need it be said, largely stolen from productive whites.
That surprises me. I guess many of the faces I remember are sports reporters.
Here in Baltimore-Washington there are at least 33% newscasters or more -- same is true with most major Southeastern cities -- but perhaps the survey is making a distinction between talking heads and investigative reporters.
Definition here:
Speaking of Asian minorities, why have they as a group been so successful in America?
For example, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese boat people have come to this country. They literally were running for their lives after the fall of South Vietnam to communism. They escaped with only the clothes on their backs, and came to America and prospered. Anecdotal evidence is that many of their children have become college graduates, and built businesses, and prospered here in America.
I guess I always wonder how groups such as Vietnamese have survived and prospered, when they overcame great hardship to get here and survive. And they have done so well compared to groups such as African-Americans, who today are still as a group among the lower rungs of society.
While we can debate the legacy of slavery and all of those related issues, today’s African-Americans did not experience some of the handicaps which affected recent Asian immigrants. Yet these Asian immigrants have not been held back from advancing in our society.
Community Organizer did not make the list?
>>Whats a Millwright?<<
A couple of articles a week...?
Government (HUD; Fannie and Freddie) and non-profits that handle Section 8 vouchers.
Geez, with professional athletics, have you seen an NBA game in recent years? It’s not unusual for all ten players on the court at any given time to be black.
Answer: The Bell Curve
I taught graphic arts in a northeastern college in the 80s. I had about 3 black students out of 30. I advised one of them to head for DC after graduation. She would be in mid-career now if she stuck with it.
Note that in the lawsuit, one needed only possibly farmed, not actually farmed.
Blacks in the
NBA - 82%
NFL - 70%
MLB - 9%
NHL - 0.00004%
Time to lace up them skates, Jesse!
Be interesting to see if - in fields requireing technical skill - the difference between government employed and private employed.
the opposite of a millwrong.
I figured “Professional Basketball Player” would top the list of percentage of blacks.
Residential advisor: another name for community organizer.
What, “Gangbanger” is not an occupation?
barber- 35%?
Most of the old school barbers were from the Abruzzi, I guess many of them must have passed on.
Kinda interesting to overlay each list with the probablility that the job is a) in the public rather than private sector and b) represented by a Union.
ACORN Section 8 facilitators...
Neither is "prison inmates".
They were just about handed everything from rent subsidy to car vouchers, food stamps free medical just about free everything when they arrived To their credit most got off the US taxpayer gravy train and moved on to be productive members of society
Hockey is understandable. Very expensive to play, from gear to ice time. Crazy hours at the rinks require parental involvement that you just won't see from some segments of society. 5 AM practices, travel teams, it's very demanding for the whole family.
Where does community organizer fit in?
Color coding is no longer used. Modern SMT components are not color coded. They are either not marked at all, or marked with a text. Here is an example that shows both approaches.
Want to see the MSM alter its position on affirmative action? Just require them to preferentially hire until the percentages of minorities is equivalent to the general population. Tell the next Katie Couric that she can't have the job because she doesn't fit the required profile.
Presidents of the United States of America - 1/2
>> “News analysts, reporters and correspondents—1.8%” <<
>> Unexpected racism. <<
Also, reverse racism? I’ve never seen a broadcast news team without one in four being black. 2% of the job pool are black, yet 25%+ of those getting the plum jobs are black? Apparently, you can’t be black and a journalist and end up not in front of the camera.
(No wonder MSNBC can’t find any black journalists to put on the air.)
