never happen. The PC police will spike any attempt at the truth.
“Doesn’t everyone deserve an eleventh chance?”
That one made me laugh! ;-)
“Was it this way a hundred years ago?”
It is not necessary to look 100 years in the past. Look at the African continent today!
Intellect, sorry to say.
They are from all over the US and various levels of background income.
Culture only comes into play with some in that they can not stay at their work area, constant loud casual conversation, calling in late one to two times a week, etc.
Makes for a pretty high turnover. They seem to think six to twelve months from company to company is normal.

Well... that was in the article, and part of what I was saying.
The 90% that were black were his customers because they were facing criminal charges. So... 100% of the blacks he has come into contact with through his job are alleged criminals.
That is what he based his comment on. Which would give one a very biased opinion of 'blacks'. Is this not true ?
While I might disagree with 'small, distinct, non-representative subset', it was the author who claims the BASIS for his statement comes from his associations with alleged criminals. He even mentioned the particular crimes they would likely commit, by race. That would seem to exclude victims/family/friends.
Hate facts are hateful!
I speak for myself but I am mixed mostly black and I work in the IT field and one of my first positions was working at the NMCI help desk in Norfolk, VA which I worked for 9 months which was pure hell suffering at the hands of Hewlett Packard long story short. My call time, PAR, and first time call resolution were awesome coming out of mandatory training, around I would say 85% of my tickets were closed overall, and my average call time was was 8 to 13 mins each day with about 40+ calls a day (PAR time was 15 mins) and got so good I went to Tier 2 night shift support after 3 months.
I later left the job for it was sucking and I was not learning much plus the low pay (12.50) was not cutting it so left that for the current position I have now working in NH after having to move here on my own dime for full benefits and pay which I can clear around 53k before taxes.

I think it would give a reasonable view of Black 'criminal types'.
He also gave his view, which also seemed reasonable, of Asian and White 'criminal types', and it was against those types that he compared the Blacks.
I understand that. Still, his view of black criminal types do not apply to ALL blacks any more than his view of white criminal types applies to ALL whites.
If it proves anything, it shows that despite all the evidence and even personal experience, Liberals who remain Liberals never learn...
I am a liberal. I believe that those of us who are able to produce abundance have a moral duty to provide basic food, shelter, and medical care for those who cannot care for themselves. I believe we have this duty even to those who can care for themselves but don’t. This world view requires compassion and a willingness to act on it.
His main point, that Black behavior is quite different than white behavior, as posters up thread have pointed out, isn’t confined to the criminal group.
As an example; there is a car parked in front of Wal-Mart, waiting while someone goes in to pick something up, others have to make their way around this vehicle. The shopper strolls out, gets in, maybe even in the drivers seat, and they drive away.
Identify the occupants.
The writer of the column did, as can most Freepers.
I suspect you are unable to.
By way of example to bolster my case in post #94, can you identify the actors in this post from the headline only?
Headline: “Fights break out at Valley View Theater (hundreds of youts)”

What the author of the article at the beginning of this thread is saying, in essence, “Forget the old stereotypes, they understate the issue, and here is some circumstantial evidence to prove that assertion”.
An old white couple?
There is an interesting phenomenon which occurs on FR, and it’s one that helps identify posters within two heartbeats.
Most posters who use the name of Ronald Reagan in some fashion, as you have done, are nothing like Reagan.

Well in Florida, it’s an old white couple.
