President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
Saw the words "Honor student" and immediately thought "asian".
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm a racist.
Well, I'm not "White Nationalist", in that I support some forms of immigration. And communities in a modern city is normal. A guy like RamZ main problem is that, by his standards, Italians or Irish immigration a century ago would also have caused him anguish.
DeleteIn real statistical terms, the British medias (no, not the BBC, the less liberal ones) do come to some "normal conclusions". Like the immigration that pays off and the one that's ruinous.
In their case, the most disastrous kind of immigration comes from Somalia, that never ever works and is a huge waste of money.
But here's the kick in the teeth. On average, a British citizen of Indian ancestry earn more, have better education and does better than the average WASP. And unlike many immigrants of... you know, Muslim/African descent, they are not all thrown in "public service" sector jobs. They do real work, invent real things and assimilate rather well to British society.
This is why I support Indian immigration. I have worked in an engineering firm. A top notch one that pays very high salaries to get the top talents. Guess what we had? Chinese people, Indian people, a whole lot of them. It's fine, they work harder than white people, so they succeed more... and why would a Canadian business just try to get WASP and French Catholics to fill these positions. Think about it, should they just take the guy who finished 30th in his class, almost flunking, just because we have to hire a national?
I mean you got to keep it sane, but if you dig deeper in how Canada and Australia manage immigration, you'll find out why we just end up in the top spots in prosperity top lists (also, Canada is the freest country apparently, but without guns and free speech, oh well)... Conservatives in Canada even get elected... attracting minorities to vote for them. I know, how crazy is that? All of which while we profile the kind of immigration we want.
So RamZ, maybe one day you'll have to look beyond the US and see, immigration is not all bad. It just depend how you do it and for what reasons. How do you think stuff like Google would run without highly educated and highly talented immigrants?
As a right-wing politicians in Quebec (I'm French) once said... We don't need more taxi drivers! But engineers! Hey, bring 'em on, we won't get poorer having more of them around.
I be guessin' yoot, cuz u know, they be moar superior in allwayz.
ReplyDeleteActually, the real purpose of this news report was to make minorities look like both the heroes (black reporter) and the victims (Asian girl) in a world run by evil white southerners. The profiling was actually of whites, no one else.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted.
DeleteYes, very well observed. We need more Unknowns who are more well known.
Deletec'mon, don't bring the racial aspect for a shit decision of a judge
DeleteThe news clip beautifully demonstrates how shitty the decision was---anybody can see that. I'm pointing out things that only your lying eyes can see.
DeleteIf you're looking for a reason, follow the money.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for injustice, follow the lawyers.
