I disagree. I don't think illegal immigrants keep prices low; they will sell their product for as much as they can get away with; illegal immigrants just keep profits high. Back in the 1980's practically all houses built in the State of California were built by illegal immigrants in the construction field getting sub par wages; but in the State of Idaho, most houses during that time were built by Union workers at multiple times the wages of the California illegal immigrants. Guess which house sold for more? Even though the California house costed less to build due to cheap labor costs, they still sold for multiple times more than the houses in Idaho built by Union workers.
Oh they don't.....Tell me more about "the guetto."
Let's hear a couple of reasons why blacks get harsher penalties for similar crimes?
The full report is on the Unites States Sentencing Commission website. They get into some of the variables/considerations etc.
I think it’s more of a street culture that a large percentage of black youth’s seem to get involved in where doing good in school will get you accused of “acting white” (Obama even spoke of this during his speech to the DNC) Or the “no snitchin”/“snitches in stitches” where people who see crime committed are warned against telling the Police about it. When one does get money, rather than investing it in something allowing growth, it is often used to flex and floss with the newest shiny thing like fancy cars, fancy clothes, and walking around with bundles of money (getting eaten up by inflation) like rappers, rather than investing in stores, or some type of business adventure. A survey was done that showed that blacks families on average have 1/10th the wealth of white families, yet they wear more expensive clothes, more accessories on their cars, spend more on their hair and jewelry than white people. Blacks from the Diaspora don't seem to have this problem. This is a cultural problem, not a systemic racist problem.
You've been given pages of answers and examples and here you perpetuate the pattern I described. Thanks for illustrating my point further with a demonstration.
You can mock me if you like but I've seen bodies and the cops show up after because they are not there.
19 percent doesn't prove racism. If the system was racist I would expect the number to be much higher
The demographics on gang activity is disproportionate too. They do more crime and do more time
19 percent isn't evidence of racism. If the system were racist i would expect the number to be much higher. Factor that into the fact that black Americans disproportionately commit more crime and what does the picture look like? Not racism.
Am I to assume you think that the really well-known graph comparing median household incomes means that blacks are somehow overall on average inferior?
You can't look at this graph and NOT see systemic racism unless you think blacks are on average somehow inferior.
So by all means SAY OUT LOUD WHAT YOU THINK. Please. WHY are blacks and hispanics so much lower on median household income (MEDIAN, not mean...which means that extremes are less of a leverage point).
Anyone who's been there would know. Its an area that mostly blacks live in, is infested with gangs, and people are afraid to call cops.
You would need to ask them. Whites and other races live there too but are the minority.
