Latino Leaders' Silence Is Killing Blacks

We have raised a generation of complete idiots. Case in point, I told a twenty year old white female coworker, who dates black men, that blacks were less than 14% of the population but over 60% of the prison population. Her response; "Well that's just because they get caught more."

This is like a reverse Helter Skelter.

And they are all innocent victims of Da Man!

The "Whitey" politicos and lawmakers who make or allow it to happen are PRECISELY who should be blamed.

[Major_Risktaker]

I wonder how, "Whitey" gets blamed in this?

3 prison stocks poised to break out

Thanks in part to overcrowding, governments are turning to private companies to build and manage prisons. Here's how to pick the right time to buy into the trend.

This one is the best!

Founded in 1983, Corrections Corp. was the first company to privatize prisons in the United States. It's also the biggest, with 54% share in the private prison sector. So it's likely to get a big piece of the business from state and federal prisons trying to cope with overflows.

"And every time I hear the rich pay all the taxes I puke. The middle-class pays all the social security taxes which is 15 percent of wages on top of all the other taxes they pay. Social security is capped so the rich don't pay a proportional share."

The top 10% of income-tax payers, in terms of income, pay most of the federal income taxes. The last percentage I heard was around 65%. While the middle class pays the vast majority of social security taxes, the middle class also receives the vast majority of social security benefits. Contrary to your claim, high income people pay a disproportionately high amount of social security taxes relative to the amount of social security benefits they receive when they retire. That's because the benefits do not scale up in direct proportion with taxes paid while working. Social security has an extremely poor rate of return for high income people; it is a financial disaster for high wage earners who would be much better off putting all that tax money into an IRA.

Social security is also a financial disaster for young Americans who are being mauled financially to pay the politically-driven benefits for affluent retirees. The rate or return on social security is far below any kind of IRA including no-risk money market funds. A mandatory IRA would be a much better program for people between 20 and 45, but of course as soon as this is suggested liberals scream about the "evils of privatization." What a joke. Some day the under-40 group will fully wake up to how they are being screwed by social security, and they'll elect people to congress who will finally cut back benefits and taxes and apply some means testing to social security benefits.

Hey I like that headline: 3 prison stocks poised to break out....lol. Now there's a jouralist with a sense of humor.

"we can't control our own country!"

I have Black refugees from L.A. that sold out and live around here. The ones that can. They are welcome.

Maybe the time has come to arm ourselves up with weapons. Short range, medium range and downrange. And what I have in mind are not cheap. Glock, SKS and the .50 sniper rifle come to mind. And a rangefinder and prevailing wind indicator for that .50 along with a laptop that tells you how to aim in various conditions. I like targets very far from me.

I agree that some pretty tough times are in the cards for L.A. I remember the 1965 riots and while they were no picnic, they will pale when both sides are shooting with reckless abandon. The real mystery will be how the La Raza mayor will handle the National Guard when he calls them in.

I think you are right. I remember both 65 and the Rodney King riots and this will make Los Angeles resemble something most citizens of that city will not recognize. I expect I know which side that mayor and his cronies are all going to side on when it happens. I don't think many firemen will be running in to put out the fires this time. Not when all that firepower is unleashed.

[T.L.Sink]

That gets the message out better than any article!

[Malesherbes]

Point well made. We wonder why Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds in Iraq don't get along. We are gradually balkanizing our own country. Soon everyone will live in a ghetto - altho' some ghettos will be better than others.

[T.L.Sink]

I think you've got a point. I don't know much about gangs but I think it's one of those situations where blacks gangs can start by defending turf and then it becomes racial. By the way, a contemporary black writer (Shelby Steele) has written a highly acclaimed book called "White Guilt" which deals with the theme you mentioned. If this anarchy and breakdown of order continues you and I will need a "sanctuary" city!

[T.L.Sink]

Sadly, it's reached that point. It's as clear as can be that black racism exists. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are good examples of professional race-mongers. So does Hispanic racism (La Raza means just that - "the race"). As if that weren't bad enough it's become part of our law. What else is affirmative action but racial discrimination?

[T.L.Sink]

I think we both know the answer to that but let me give you a quote from a recent best selling book on the illegal invasion:

"If one wishes to see America's future, he need only drive through L.A. Sifting through census data from year 2000, three writers from the L.A. Times discovered the coming America in the sprawing county that has become a polyglot nation where extremes of wealth and poverty mirror those of the Third World. 44.6% of the population of Los Angeles County is Hispanic, making the Mexican population of Los Angeles second only to that of Mexico City."

[Proud_texan]

"there have been tensions and incidents like this for decades"

Indeed. Having lived in "mixed" neighborhoods a couple of times many years ago and observing it first hand the hostility between Mexicans and blacks was remarkable.

[TheThinker]

I agree totally. So what happens when Obama becomes president. Nothing good for whitey for sure.
