After the immigrants started efforts to form unions in meatpacking plants, there were all of these immigration raids. Towns and states where these raids occurred had large displaced population of blacks.

When the same plants were forced to hire idled blacks again, the blacks demand their correct pay scales, overtime pay, and enforced DOL/OSHA regulations.

Owners cried out the black workers cost too much, they were losing profits, cost of operation increased simply because they had to pay workmen comp, benefits, minimum wage, and make the workplace safe.

This is a perfect example that its not always about the amerrican worker not being skilled its about using the rhetoric to justify keeping wages low..

First off, you know I don't get to handle the “important” people; hell, I only get Bob for black churches and to play driver/”armed escort.'

I got this right before I went through the CT yesterday, and while I was slowly cooking (iodine contrast burns a bit), I wondered what I was supposed to do with this bit of information. Suggest that the campaign run the ad of Bob and his family right after the latest Weezy video? Nah, bad idea.

Fact is, I don't see this helping me at all. Don't see it harming me (greatest accomplishment to date is killing the NBRA invite), but to me, she's useless. Money talks, sure.

Ann Coulter: “Being Black Trumps Being an Insect”

First, she noted that blacks are true victims, but then she notes Liberals haven't done much to help them. Wait, considering the GOP is showing itself to be the party of racists (hey, it's done so many racist things of late, it's hard to debate it), no mention of that?

But she also said Liberals want to be black so they can be victims.

Beck: Does everybody wanna be Black?

Coulter: Liberals do because that's the official, the top victim status so that being black trumps being an insect and ahhh, huh…

Being black trumpbs being an insect? Watch the video:

Video: Coulter – Black trumps being an insect

(Sorry for how short this diary is!)

This is big!

Todd Tiahrt is running for Senate in Kansas and he's considered the front runner in the GOP primary.

I wonder if it helps or hurts honestly…
