Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks and white liberal puts her foot in her mouth

This isn't even a real scenario. Globalization exists and it's not going anywhere.

Regardless, even within local, regional, and national economies the workers at the bottom will always be the most vulnerable and are more likely to remain at or near the bottom.

That's just capitalism.

Once we consider how much of upward mobility in the workplace is built around networking...

You know what. Nevermind. If you're happy at the bottom I'm happy for you.

based on his username, i think his post was sarcastic and you two are in agreement.

 

[hashmander]

Her argument has nothing to do with reparations. Just pointing out that white supremacist have distracted a lot of yall into fighting with Mexicans over low skilled jobs with no upward mobility as though it's a noble cause that's going to increase the position of black labor in this country.

I agree.

what they don't realize is that the only thing that ends up happening is that you basically become a permanent underclass and that's the role of your group (not just some in the group). capitalism needs a permanent underclass to thrive.

reparations are not scraps!! entry level physical labor and service jobs are the foundation for blacks!!

reparations + entry level positions will get the black community back on track to where we need to be!!

She never mentioned reparations.

Spoiler

like I said, mortgage your future on reparations that have a pretty much zero percent chance of happening. You do you.

And you made her point again. White supremacist have successfully conditioned you to believe that having career aspirations is an elitist viewpoint.

Just so we're operating in facts:

• Blacks with college degrees make substantially more money than blacks with only a high school education
• The number of blacks working at the lowest levels is part of what paints the bleak picture between average wealth between whites and blacks
• The racial wealth gap exists at all levels, so why not make more money

Youre comparing blacks to blacks. You have no idea what youre talking about.

And i will ask again. Some 18 year old black kid from the inner city supposed to jump straight into management or a 40k salary?

sadly many of us will blindly vote dem. If the specific dem in my area supports what i want they'll get my vote. but yeah, people need to see that these people can present you with anti-reparations rhetoric covered in frosting.

"why are you fighting for scraps, you're smarter than that ".

I'm voting for whoever is gonna raise that VA budget..

This is the default response from liberals , of all races, when you bring up the reality that illegals really are “taking our jobz”
They want to make it a red neck talking point so you don’t feel comfortable speaking on it when it disproportionately affects blacks
Growing up all the fast food and bus boy type jobs were done by black ppl
Are they shytty jobs? Yes....but they’re jobs
Imagine how many black felons used those jobs to get on their feet
Now all gone cause illegals are depressing wages taking those jobs for scraps
When you bring this up you’re xenophobic and parroting conservative talking points tho

i agree my intelligent black brother!!

it is the Mexicans fault that the employer I want to work for does not want to pay federal minimum wage

there should be a law stating who can be hired and paid and a minimum set for payment, until then #NoVote!

And i will ask again. Some 18 year old black kid from the inner city supposed to jump straight into management or a 40k salary?

very true brother!

the black man should not have to work, train or study for too long before living the dream

we want the fast track or nothing at all! #NoReparationsNoVote

This is contradictory to the successful immigrant narrative tho
Which one is it. How are these jobs too shytty for blacks living in poverty but at the same time vital for illegals to build a new life here in America.
Someone just posted an article about immigrants breaking home owner records so obviously these jobs are stepping stones to someone building wealth

No, but who has said any of this nonsense. And a 40k salary ain't shyt.


But I grew up poor in the inner city. None of the entry level jobs I had in the summer nor in college had any valuable transfer.

You're not building the network for success there. Again, if you're goal is to work at a restaurant until one day you make 50k then you are again proving her point.

Coretta Scott King supported both amnesty and an easier path (more immigrants).

Because Amnesty was the Reagan solution and it failed because there were SO MANY ILLEGALS who failed to come forward.

Because minimum wage isn't a living wage. This is something you yourself argues for.

the MW shouldn't be a living wage especially when the living wage varies across the country

Successful immigrants are largely more educated.

The increase in median immigrant income can be correlated with the decrease in illegal immigrants.

So black people working my El jobs will still struggle to make a living wage.

But black people make up the largest portion of these "entry level" jobs.

They often tend to be temp work and add to unemployment figures due to high turnover, burnout and no meaningful path for advancement.

These idiots don't even know black history.

The entire nature of institutionalized discrimination was BECAUSE of a lawsuit by PULLMAN PORTERS!!!!

I agree.
