It must be a magical time to be a racist

It offends me that he lies. He quoted one statistic from Bill O'Reilly of all people, and one city, NYC.

It also offends me that he ignores white crime to push his agenda about blacks and Hispanics.

It's not a lie though. There are not a lot of poor white people that live in big cities. They tend to live in suburban and rural areas. So crime in big cities is largely committed by blacks and Hispanics. That's just fact.

Here's something you might appreciate Cawacko, a study from Ohio State.

POVERTY, NOT RACE, TIED TO HIGH CRIME RATES IN URBAN COMMUNITIES

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Violent crime rates have more to do with poverty levels in a neighborhood than with the race of local residents, new research has found.

A study of Columbus neighborhoods found that violent crime rates in extremely disadvantaged white neighborhoods were very similar to rates in comparable Black neighborhoods. The violent crime rate in highly disadvantaged Black areas was 22 per 1,000 residents, not much different from the 20 per 1,000 rate in similar white communities.

There are still many people who mistakenly believe there is something about Black neighborhoods that make them more violent and prone to crime, said Lauren Krivo, co-author of the study and associate professor of sociology at Ohio State University.

Our research shows that neighborhoods with the most crime tend to be those with the highest rates of poverty and other types of disadvantage -- regardless of whether they are predominantly Black or white.

In this study, overall rates of violence were nearly three times as high in Black neighborhoods as in white neighborhoods. But that's because Black neighborhoods are much more likely than white ones to be highly disadvantaged, she said.

Krivo conducted the study with Ruth Peterson, a professor of sociology at Ohio State. Their study was published in the current issue of the journal Social Forces.

This is not surprising at all. It was practically the basis of the movie Trading Places

I'm on board with raising it. I must have misunderstood your post. How does raising it reduce jobs for those in inner cities?

The highest unemployment rates belong to young minority males, those we often deem "at risk". The higher the minimum wage the larger the delta is for those young men's skill and the value of their work. So basically a higher rate becomes a barrier to entry.

For many in that "at risk" category they often see more people going to work in the streets each day than a nine to five job. So holding down a job and learning responsibility is an important part of their development. But again, at higher rates they don't get that opportunity.

I don't call blacks "thugs.' That's a conservative meme. How is Trump going to magically provide jobs in inner cities?

The man is such the presumptive saviour of America he should be canonized, not elected. :D

Why doesn't he build a hotel there? It is very reasonable real estate and if he is magic, why can't he make Detroit great, again? Start there, Trump and then I will be a believer.
 
Lets also ignore the fact that the democrats made the blacks poor by shipping out jobs that they could have competed for and then hiring illegals for the rest..... after the black community trusted them with 90% of their vote. :good4u:

That people bought Playboy to read the articles and didn't look at the pictures. It was a big joke. Saying you support Trump and doing it at the cost of his comments on Muslims, women, and Mexican, is a lot of dissonance.

So "Democrats made the blacks poor by shipping out jobs that they could have competed for and then hiring illegals for the rest"?

No Republicans ever offshored or hired illegals?

Not following. Are you talking about me personally or others?

I am not promising them jobs. I can not support all charities and right now I focus on Alaska and Dr. Without borders. When I go to Texas, I will focus on undocumented Americans.

So why should he or anyone build a hotel in Detroit?

They used to be.

Blacks mostly voted Republican from after the Civil War and through the early part of the 20th century. That’s not surprising when one considers that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, and the white, segregationist politicians who governed Southern states in those days were Democrats. The Democratic Party didn’t welcome blacks then, and it wasn’t until 1924 that blacks were even permitted to attend Democratic conventions in any official capacity. Most blacks lived in the South, where they were mostly prevented from voting at all.

The election of Roosevelt in 1932 marked the beginning of a change. He got 71 percent of the black vote for president in 1936 and did nearly that well in the next two elections, according to historical figures kept by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. But even then, the number of blacks identifying themselves as Republicans was about the same as the number who thought of themselves as Democrats.

It wasn’t until Harry Truman garnered 77 percent of the black vote in 1948 that a majority of blacks reported that they thought of themselves as Democrats. Earlier that year Truman had issued an order desegregating the armed services and an executive order setting up regulations against racial bias in federal employment.

I don't understand. Minimum means smallest possible. Are you saying young black men can't even qualify for the minimum as burger flippers or car washers? Are they supposed to work for less than minimum?
