Didn't think so, you're just repeating your normal talking points.
Minimum Wage Jump Good for Low-Income Blacks | BlackPressUSA
the article says 500,000 jobs will be lost
The Crisis in Black and Brown Youth Unemployment
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
the article says 500,000 jobs will be lost
Get rid of that free trade experiment b.s., raise tariffs from all that stuff made offshore and motivate U.S. multinational conglomerates to reopen manufacturing in the states
...so basically, you ignored the entire rest of the article and zoomed in on the one part you think supports your view.
Sounds about right.

I read the entire thing, I'm actually on the fence on minimum wage, my beef is with people that support raising the minimum wage and also support flooding the labor market with amnesty and importing cheap labor
But you asked where dead7 got his figures and your article supported his statement that it would kill 500000 jobs and that most of the increase would go to whites
The other stuff about who will be in the 500000 is speculative and the quote from the Harvard professor is just an opinion/speculative
Nobody is disputing that estimate (although it's also speculative), but there's no evidence (that I've seen) that black people would be disproportionately affected by these job cuts or that they would benefit less from an increase than whites would. Saying that most of the increase would go to whites isn't meaningful since they're obviously the majority anyway. I haven't seen any evidence that a disproportionate amount of it would go to whites.
The stuff about amnesty is a completely different topic and doesn't really have anything to do with min. wage.

yeah i just said that both dead7s statement and the harvard professor quote were speculative, did you read my post?
amnesty is most definitely not a different topic, amnesty and immigration is directly related to the labor market, the fact that liberals dont make a connection between the two is what worries me
democrats wanting to flood the labor market is very worrisome as far as black unemployment is concerned and its not clear the raising the min wage helps black unemployment

I think people need to sit back and really think about what they are saying. If Q demanded for a good or service goes up when the price goes up, then that is a violation of fundamental Micro-economics. If you can prove that, there is noble prize waiting for you.
Sure a small minimum wage increase may have little effect because of inflation. However to associate raising the minimum wage to 18 dollars or such with no effect on employment rates or employment distribution has to strike someone as being sort of weird, right?

LOL what does raising the minimum wage have to do with anything? That won't cure stupid and disinterested.
agree but lets be honest its not like more jobs are going to be created going forward regardless. thats a fallacy in itself.Black progressives seem to have a hard time understanding exactly how systemic racism works.
When the CBO report was released and showed half a million people will be ejected from the workforce, these negroes saw it as a reasonable cost to uplift the whatever number it was of workers making min wage.
The fact that blacks will make up disproportionately high percentage of those tossed in the bushes while whites will make up disproportionately high percentage of those benefiting from the raise eludes them.
There must be a way to expose the evil of the min wage law. It's bigoted birth and track record being not enough.

All this is a waste of time...most of these lil nikkas dnt wanna work anyways...we need to drop the dead weights in society n move on with the ones who want to do better...they rather "hustle"...so let them "hustle"...basically fukk them...im 23 and never had no problem getting a job...besides traffic tickets I got no criminal record...just like we scold these girls who wanna be hoes at a young age only to try to be better later on, we gotta do the same with these nikkas...they wanna be "gangstas" at a young while not giving a dank bout they job prospects....
Harvard professor's opinion>>>DEAD7's opinion
So basically, what you're saying is that everything would be all good employment-wise if it weren't for the fact that minority youth are stupid and lazy?

Not all minority youth, but a significant amount. Sorry but it's just the truth. A lot of the youth out here aint worried about being employed or even asking for a job..they too busy dikkriding wack rappers, stunting on instagram, and watching the latest vine comp on worldstar. I see it everyday.
and things would be much better, yeah.

i would say they are about equal, the HL poster of the year is nothing to sneeze at
but either way, im on the fence about minimum wage, like i said my beef is that that same harvard professor will turn around and say we also need to flood the job market with 12 million illegals and bring in more cheap labor for the next few decades and it wont hurt black people
like milton friedman said, you cant have both an open immigration policy and a welfare state (in this case a high minimum wage)
