Bennett Hypothesis: Financial Aid Increases Tuition

[sanantone]

How come Dfrecore isn't calling this bigotry of low expectations? She won't because she's highly partisan just like Sapientes is. Are black people only capable of doing unskilled labor? I'm black and no undocumented immigrant has taken my job. I don't need to be a nanny, housekeeper, construction worker, or fruit picker to make a living. Illegal immigration doesn't affect white people? Are white people too good for these jobs?

Are you trolling, or do you really not understand the fundamentals of statistics? Your individual experience has no bearing on the aggregate data. Maybe I should present the issue from the perspective of a platform you can understand: https://www.theroot.com/how-illegal-immi...1790878554

You mean how Videogamesrock thinks that his happy security guard is representative of the security industry or American workers as a whole? The private security industry averages over a 100% turnover rate. 

Did you read the article you linked to? Hundreds of thousands of black people work in the industries that mostly employ illegal immigrants. There are almost 40 million black people in the U.S. The article goes on to discuss discrimination against black people and how employers are twice as likely to prefer equally-qualified white applicants. Preference for equally-qualified white people hurts skilled and college-educated black people. Are only the parts of the article you agree with valid? Also, if illegal immigrants are making more than black people, then how are they depressing wages for black people? The article not only fails to show possible causation, it doesn't even show correlation. 

The irony in all of this is that the U.S. is largely responsible for what is going on in Central America. The U.S. has propped up dictators and paramilitary groups in that part of the world, but this country doesn't want to take any responsibility for it. 

Not sure how this went off the rails, but it's getting ridiculous.  I'm half-black (as I think you know Sanantone) so trying to portray me as saying that black people are only capable of doing unskilled labor is just silly.  I never said that, and have never thought that.

I'm also not "highly partisan" as I am not a republican, but a fiscal conservative who doesn't like fraud and abuse in the system which takes money away from things that I think are important.  You have no idea where I stand on social issues, and I've said on here in the past that I'm certainly not a Trump supporter (nor am I a never-Trumper), so I'm not sure how YOU can say what I stand for or even which political party I belong to (none, by the way).  If anything, I lean Libertarian in that I'm in favor of as little government as possible, because I think that all they do is get in there and screw up everything they get their hands on.  But please feel free to think that government is so awesome and if you just give them enough power, they'll fix everything that's wrong including racism.  Good luck with that.

I'm going to sign off now, as I think this has just gotten personal instead of trying to make arguments about economics, policy, etc.  Have a nice day.

Of course the government is not going to fix racism. The president panders to white nationalists and has no problem with unnecessarily psychologically abusing thousands of migrant children. Regardless of what you say about your support of Trump, the fact is that you voted for him even though he is far from being a Libertarian. He's not even a Republican.

And, I never once said that Americans are too good for the jobs Mexicans do or that Mexicans are only capable of doing unskilled labor. I didn't even mention Mexicans. For you to try to portray me as being racist towards Mexicans was ridiculous and despicable. If anything, I've been more understanding of the plight of undocumented immigrants than anyone else here. Sapientes is just as complicit for cosigning that disgusting accusation.

A conversation without someone calling someone else racist would be awesome. I swear it is turning into the other site, always someone joining conversations to cry racism.

How come you didn't say anything when Dfrecore said that my post was racist? She was the first person in this thread to call someone racist. She was the one who started the personal attacks and now wants to play the victim. Please. It would be nice if this section weren't filled with hypocrites.
