do you really expect some street kid that was abandonned by his parents with no where to live to come knocking on your front door?
And you weren't here first, the natives welcomed you with open arms then you turned around and effed them in the back door.
63% of incarcerated criminals in adult facilities are African American. So do you suggest sending them back to Africa again?
Ever wonder what causes the crime? What motivates people? 98% of the time they're generally nice people that have made a couple bad decisions. It's pretty easy to figure out why there is such confrontation with the African Americans, they were treated like animals and even to this day are still not treated as equals.
As for the mexicans, it wasn't little Pedro that came here and found out he could get work on some farm. It was old Bob that had this great idea on how to cut down on labour costs and knew Pedro and a bunch of his friends would love to come work for him for a fraction of the cost.
That's the thing that often irritates others about Americans. You feel just because you happened to be born there you're entitled to live a better life. Hate to break it to you, but you had nothing to do with you being born where you were.
My point isn't to argue with you, but instead of having all these reasons to dislike someone, try to see the good, be open minded. If you have hate for others then that is what you will get in return.
As a nation under God wouldn't it be more appropriate to follow his principles? Be proactive instead of reactive.
Jonny Kakes,
If your quoting percentages, you better start footnoting because I say that
"Although blacks account for only 12 percent of the U.S. population, 44 percent of all prisoners in the United States are black."
If your going to school me on American English, then skip the "our"'s (its labor, not labour).
If you going to speak about immigrants, then realize that not everyone of them is "Mexican". Ask some folks in Wyoming, Cali, NJ, FL about the nationality of the people they work with. "Little" Pedro isn't here beacuse Bob had a good idea. Pedro, Blanca, Chang, Anton and Nguyen
are here because there is an opportunity to better themselves and their families. Labor pay has always been considered low until the particular ethnicity has broken the socioeconomic plane that encompasses labor. Usually 2-3 generations after arriving enmass, that particular ethnic class moves "up the ladder".
The problem for Latinos is that there is never an end to the immigration. Eastern and Western Europeans came at separate times, but in general in a generation or two. After that their prodginy were better educated and better acclimated to American life. The latinos can have as many young brain surgeons and lawyers as they want, but there is still and influx of uneducated and un assimilated people moving across the border.
They try to lift themselves as a people up, but there is always another "peon" to take the bottom rung of the ladder. It is excedingly difficult to attain the kind of socioeconomics status as the Europeans because there is always the perception the Latinos are Labor. Kinda like trying to marry up, but you dipstick hillbilly cousins keep showing up - and the brides family thinks thats what you are.
It's pretty easy to figure out why there is such confrontation with the African Americans, they were treated like animals and even to this day are still not treated as equals.
I sure hope the Hindus and Seiks don't get any ideas from US African Americans, then you'll have an outright jihad on your hands. Enough about how America treats people, the UK and France treated people like "S*&T" for hundreds of years before we were even a colony.
As for natives, I won't argue that they got the short end of the stick - but may I suggest the the Hudson Bay Company gave "your" native Canadians a pretty good effing too.
God its late. Hello, I must be going.
