"blue-collar white men, who make up only 11% of the workforce, constitute 36% of those who have lost jobs. In total, nearly half of the recession's casualties are white men, having held 46% of all jobs lost."Unemployment is expected to remain high for the foreseeable future. But even after employment begins to pick up again, laid off white men shouldn't expect to get their old jobs back.
After President Obama was elected in 2008 he selected Robert Reich to be a member of his economic transition advisory board. In that capacity, Reich testified before Congress that criteria should be put in place to ensure that new blue-collar jobs go to women and minorities instead of "white male construction workers."
"Infrastructure spending is a very important and good way of stimulating the economy... The challenge will be... to find projects... that have a high social return... I am concerned, as I'm sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers."The Republicans at least pretend they're looking out for white men. The Democrats flaunt that they don't care about that segment of the population, and this November the white men might start to get their revenge.
Barack Obama and his henchmen are nothing more than Marxists thugs. I warn you all that this thug Obama has no intention of ever vacating the office of the US president. He has usurped the US presidency. Do you think an usurper will relinquish an office that he has stolen and lied to obtain? Not hardly. We Americans must be prepared for this event when it happens.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense that White men consist of about half the people who have lost jobs. They are 42% of the workforce, it also makes sense that Blue collar jobs are going away, they are unseeded (if you follow capitalism as a mantra) due to globalization.
ReplyDeleteI am a statistician, so don't try to quote number incorrectly.
White people who voted for Barry Hussein, are now getting a case of Buyer's remorse. As a true conservative, I maintain that the election of Barry Hussein was and is the single best thing that can awaken white people all over the nation. People get a front row seat to witness just how racist blacks can be when they actually beleive that they are in the driver's seat. Plus with all of Hussein's blatantly biased policies (blaming the white cops in the Gates case, Holder claiming that whites aren't protected by hate crime laws, etc.) even Stevie Wonder could see that Hussein is vehemently racist.
ReplyDeleteIt makes perfect sense though. Blacks make up about 13% of the population. Whites around 65-70%. Now logic only follows that we would elect a President that represents the majority of a country, and not a minority. Hussein would be an excellent President for Africa or Uganda, where blacks rule. Of course he's gonna enact legislation to favor his race. Look at Saddam's Iraq. He was Sunni and he was a minority. Saddam persecuted Shiites to achieve his ends. Whenever equality is the goal, 1 race always has to get thrown under the bus.
I am a White woman, and I do not support affirmative action. I never have, and I never will. No one should be hired for a job based upon gender or race. I have lost jobs due to affirmative action and believe that White men are often hit the hardest by these discriminatory policies.
ReplyDeleteShane, I agree with you that Obama would make a better President for some African nation. The man identifies as Black. He is naturally going to care the most about his fellow Blacks. He is not interested in the well-being and welfare of White people because he is not White, and it is not natural for him to care about Whites. White people deserve a leader who cares about us and our well-being.
I agree with previous posting, as a white man who works in an office with a majority of minorities believe me when they have the upper hand they will screw over white men every chance they get.
