I asked what can we do about this? All those black people in Detroit of course are going to be nurses assistants, janitors, bus drivers and every other low paying job that one gets when you only have a high school education. What do you propose WE do about this?
Remember all those high paying union jobs that went overseas during the Bush years? A lot of those people never found jobs as good as they lost. So a lot of high school educated whites are in the exact same position those blacks are in. They are making less. Those people had to figure it out and many of them will never find as good of a job unless they go get retrained in something.
So the same thing goes for all those low educated blacks in ghettos. They either have to go to school, move where there are economic opportunities, start a business...
I feel you on this. As a former liberal I wanted the workers to make more but instead Republicans won elections and today the CEO's get all the profit sharing. I'll bet you blacks were hurt bad when unions got attacked.
And by the way, the white government already does a lot for black people. Look around DC. There you will find the richest blacks in America. Why? A lot of government jobs go to black people.
