America & Prison

8 - who created the financial mess the USA is in - democrats or republicans? Here's a clue - it took several years to run up this amount of debt. More than one term in office!

A K is FULL of IT.

Just 51.5 percent of African-Americans across the board--compared to 59.5 percent of whites--have a job, the numbers show. That's the lowest level for blacks since 1984. (That group includes 16- to 19-year-olds, who are employed at a far lower rate than their elders.)

Wow,just an 8 % difference :confused:

Racist propaganda says that all blacks are lazy and dont want to work when the difference between blacks and whites being employed is only 8%

Blacks also work at a higher percentage of their population in the private section :cool:
 
Quote from Ricter:

Wow, inferiority complex much? Is it any wonder the folks at the bottom have such hair-trigger ego defense when guys like you are, for the love of God (which you profess), still taking up valuable space on this Earth with: ok, ok, so they're working more as a proportion of their population, but it's just work any monkey could do, here's proof", and you take time to go looking for it!.

Loser! Note the capital.

Do you even know what an EEO job is? They are not working more as a proportion of their population (Because thats impossible, unless they have whites, asian, or latinos saying they are black) They are working more as a proportion in EEO jobs. (Equal employment opportunity) Which means they have to hire minorities over whites for at least a certain percentage. Thats how those numbers are higher than what they should be.

There is no such thing as an EEO job.The EEO is a federal agency that enforces anti discrimination employment laws




The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires employers to report various information about their employees, in particular, their racial/ethnic categories to prevent discrimination based on race/ethnicity.



The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is an independent federal law enforcement agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individual's race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, perceived intelligence,[3] disability and retaliation for reporting and/or opposing a discriminatory practice. It is empowered to file discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to adjudicate claims of discrimination brought against federal agencies.[4]


The EEOC was established on July 2, 1965; its mandate is specified under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA),[6] the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
 
Just imagine what would happen if the govt legalized coke and marijuana - the unemployment rate for blacks would go sky high ... no pun intended.

Yeah the only reason I don't do either of those is because it is illegal. If they were legal I would be snorting and smoking ALL DAY EVERY DAY!
 
It WOULD be interesting to find out how many prisons could be closed if they cut all the marijuana convicts loose. Of course, the way the law usually handles such evidence, they probably forgot where they locked most of those poor bastards up.

1.6% of all prisoners are there for marijuana only. 0.7% are there for only possession.

So in a prison with 5,000 people, only 80 of them are there for marijuana only(trafficking & possession). This basically means if they legalized it and set those people free, the prison budget would save about 1.6%. Actually probably not even that much because its not like the weed smokers cause any problems in prison, so its not like they could cut down on guards.
