I will say publicly what many people are whispering privately in barbershops, soul food restaurants, and church parking lots in South Los Angeles. If relations don't improve between African Americans and Latinos in Southern California, we are headed for a major racial conflict. And the notion that Latinos are killing blacks to "ethnically cleanse" their neighborhoods is extremely troubling.

Not bad, you need to add "women and children hardest hit" and you could be a NYTimes editor.
"...This kind of talk makes my nipples hard..."
Me too; I think it's the brackets.
Yeah when these statisticians start rolling, you could cut glass with mine.
Patrick Chavis, one of five black students whose admission to a medical school in California 30 years ago provoked a Supreme Court battle over affirmative action, died on July 23 in Hawthorne, Calif. He was 50. Mr. Chavis, whose medical license was revoked five years ago for malpractice, was fatally shot as he returned to his car after buying an ice cream cone in Hawthorne, a suburb of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
Investigators theorized that three men had tried to hijack Mr. Chavis's car but fled without it. Mr. Chavis lived in Inglewood, Calif. In 1973, Mr. Chavis was admitted to the University of California at Davis medical school in a program to increase black enrollment. Allan Bakke, a white applicant who was rejected despite having higher scores than the five black applicants, sued to be admitted. In 1978, the Supreme Court struck down the program, ruling that race could be a factor but not the only factor considered for admission.
After graduation, Dr. Chavis returned to Los Angeles as an obstetrician and gynecologist, to the area where he had grown up. In the mid-1990's, his work won him attention in articles in The New York Times Magazine, in The Nation and on television programs. In 1996, Senator Edward M. Kennedy called him a "perfect example" of how affirmative action worked. Mr. Kennedy and other proponents of affirmative action suggested, at least implicitly, that Dr. Bakke, an anesthesiologist in Rochester, Minn., had achieved less than Dr. Chavis.
After Chavis killed that woman, I'm sure Kennedy and the others sent Dr. Bakke an apology.
Kennedy probably identified with him because he's had his own criminal neglience episodes. Such people who promote the racism of affirmative action in utter defiance of the 14th Amendment are shameless. They can't even use the pretext that it helps minorities - it clealy does not. As the Chavis debacle demonstrates it harms us ALL.
Stocks are up though....
middle income people generally do not get football or baseball tickets or fancy diners or golf outings paid for ....they can't deduct much if anything..they can't claim that a vacation to England is really a "business" meeting....
anyway, if you want to fight to the death about the poor state of our Rich in this country, by all means, go for it.....
I don't buy it......
however even with brains, some people just can't do good doctoring, and any canidates I know of that fit the bill are all very lily white and male....( okay, I do know one female...lol ...)
and Bush is sympathetic.
wow......I suppose it would hold some truth except that its the little kids and women and old people suffering the most.........
yes, he was only speaking of income, but how can you not include the tremendous tax burden put on middle income wage earners and gloss over it like its meaningless....
like many people, I am stunned to see how much SS and Medicare tax comes from my measly paycheck....
sure, the rich pay it too up to a certain extent....then again, you don't pay SS on stock earnings or business deals or bonuses.......
And for every dollar that comes out, your employer pays a matching amount FOR EVERY NOSE PICKIN' GOOBER THAT HE HIRES. You pay on one payroll account, he pays on all of them.

W--hitey won't enforce the law because his maid is Mexican and his loyalty is to her, first and foremost.
In my area, if an employer is caught not paying his state Medicaid tax, he gets busted and does hard time, almost without exception. It's one way to try to enforce immigration law--the ACLU can't stop it.
Whites only, but Koreans once in a while...

Truer words were never spoken.
As an employed woman, the difference between those of my generation and those ten years younger, is that we ran our households and raised our children without nannies. Our kids mowed the lawns.
The younger generation, just as middle class as we are, all have "south of the border" Housekeepers and Nannies and think it's "clever."
I doubt any of them pay the SS taxes, or provide private health care.
I can tell you that the Real Estate crash has developed, in part, because landlords buy homes, put 10-20 "tenants" in them, cover their $5000/month mortgage this way, and ruin the neighborhoods.
This has been going on throughout the older Southern California suburbs and smaller municipalities.
As a result, single families wishing to purchase a home, are having to rent out rooms also, as it requires not two, but three+ wage earners to pay a mortgage.
The freeways are loading up, the schools all have "relocatable classrooms" planted on their playing fields, and the first language you hear in most stores here is Spanish.
The California Dream is dead.
I just recently returned here from four years spent back east, and the change in that time was shocking.
"Besides, Underclass blacks and underclass Latinos killing eachother isn't a big deal. Have you ever heard the expression "culling the herd?"
What is wrong with you? That is the most egregious statement I've ever read on this forum

I too am from your state orginally. Go Buckeyes!!!Go BRowns!!
