What can republicans do for blacks?

[Conservative65]

The 70s were a long time ago. Most of the people doing the hiring then, are probably retired if not dead by now.

Today? It's been reversed.

The white guy getting screwed today, probably wasn't even in the workforce back in the 70s, hell, he probably wasn't even alive.

So you want a meritocracy--hire based on merit/skills only. OK, but how do you safeguard the meritocracy? Remember, we weren't practicing a meritocracy beforehand, that is how AA came about. People were ruled out based on appearence, not skill.

By the way, I am for a meritocracy except in the cases of small family businesses.

You're saying it's OK to benefit those not passed over by giving them a benefit based on race. At the same time, those that had nothing to do with the passing over now have to suffer the consequences of something they didn't do. If using race to deny is wrong, trying to make up for it by using race to benefit is also wrong.

If you hire on merit/skill only how does race come into play?

I take it you are new to this planet?

We do this in the military--Why not in the workplace?

Are you claiming EVERY promotion in the military is done solely on merit/skill?

You mean like Liberals putting policies of Affirmative Action in place telling blacks they have to get help in hiring consideration due to race because they can't do it on their own?

When Democrats pander to blacks, it's no surprise blacks vote for them. How's that black unemployment rate doing for that vote?

Thanks for posting that

It says so much about what republicans can do for blacks. The watermelon and fried chicken is such a nice touch

Apparently Democrats haven't done nothing for the 95% voting bloc. Black unemployment and poverty is significantly higher than other groups.

What have Republicans done to "earn" their 5% of the black vote?

REpresent their interests and beliefs.

You mean by posting racist cartoons like the one above?

Because if you happen to be in a place or a field where your work force hired on merit, does not end up matching the demographics that a judge expects, you can be sued and the government will **** you up.

Or at a middle school where election results don't match what the principal wants so the results are held up.

NOPe. YOu know actual issues and interests.

I know that that sounds crazy to you.

YOu think the GOP and tens of thousands of serious people who have spent their lives in public service should be judged, not by their policies or their actions, but by some cartoon some guy put up on the internet.

And apparently an awful lot of minorities agree with you.

I ever tell you about my long discussions with pro-life blacks about what issue was more important than the lives of millions babies?

Lived it.
Seen it.
Had black Chiefs and Master Chiefs.

Just another CON$ervative telling Blacks they are too stupid to know what's good for them.
Gee, I can't imagine why that doesn't win over the Black community to the GOP!

I look at it differently
The democrats are the ones telling the blacks they are just genetically too stupid to get ahead in life without forced government programs like affirmative action and quotas.
The republicans are the ones trying to tell the blacks that all they have to do is work for their goals to achieve their goals, no special programs needed because the blacks are equal from the start.

Affirmative action helped every American family....not just blacks

No, it did not and it is not.

Affirmative action was a major success for our country

Women benefitted more than blacks. If you have a wife or daughter.....you have benefitted from affirmative action

wrong.
nobody benefited more than blacks. Society suffered as a whole.

What did they suffer from?

Why can't blacks "do" for themselves like the rest of us?

Because they live in impoverished communities with few job prospects.

NOt really. THose communities tend to be on bus lines and to be connected to places with jobs.

Pull up the pants, lose the accent and the attitude and suddenly, prospects.

What accent?

His excuses are just that, excuses. I was in prison with 0 job prospects and I'm doing just fine now.

Did you know that a white male with a prison record has better job prospects than a clean black male with a college degree?

not if that job is government or with a company that contracts to the government.
and did you know that the black male with the college degree only has his degree because some university had to meet specific government mandated goals on minority graduates?
With the reality of affirmative action, prove me wrong. The white guy obviously had to really do well to get his degree. The minority? not so much.

When I hear blacks use a specific term in reference to another black, that if used by a white it would be racist, it lets me know what you think about yourselves.

Keeping the diversity whether doing so means the most qualified or not.
