You would have to be well into your 90’s to have lived through a period of time in which Jews were discriminated against in these industries as a group, if at all. Meanwhile INA branched out into homeowners insurance in the 1960’s, a business model rife with discrimination by race at that time, which was not illegal. Maybe you can tell us your first hand experience as an executive in that company in regards to how they treated black homeowners.

We love love love our favorite star's "performance of the Rachel figure." According to major anthropologists, this is the way it's always been, and there's no reason to think it will change.”<br /><br />The anthropologists are correct because these cable shows exist to satisfy a for-profit business model without any obligation to inform citizens. About 3 to 4 million people watch Maddow each week compared to 15 to 20 million who listen to right-wing hate radio. These outlets exist to attract bored, ignorant Americans and to channel them into tribes of loyal viewers, which means profits for big corporations (the highest goal of life in the USA).<br /><br />As for Charles Blow, he may be wallowing in the traumatic past, but I respect that it is part of his strategy to create a new Black Power movement centered in the Southern states. He talks about it in his new book. He wants Blacks to move to the South and concentrate their numbers in states with large Black populations and become the majority in those states. It is hard to criticize this since our corporate owners and their mass media decided the goal of life in the USA is to have a racially obsessed mindset of fear. The next stage is likely to be just what Blow has proposed, with each vulnerable minority building concentrated racial enclaves to gain safety and power.

The economist you cite suggests that wages for those jobs are slightly depressed (after an adjustment period), but why on earth should black teens be aiming for such jobs?

They get bad jobs and do not learn good work habits and it tends to affect their grades negatively. It can also be argued that teens displace adult workers with family responsibilities and by allowing businesses to play teens less, they discourage businesses from creating jobs for adult workers.<br /><br />My understanding is that the police reform bill failed because Democrats considered it an inadequate response and because they could not find common ground with Republicans over the measure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-32850851017108676342021-04-06T18:28:53.270-04:002021-04-06T18:28:53.270-04:00@6:12 - Yes it is an ugly view, but it's becau...@6:12 - Yes it is an ugly view, but it's because of ugly actions. Here's one example: When Sen. Ted Kennedy was leading the fight to increase the minimum wage, many people asked that there be a separate, minimum for young workers. They feared that too high a minimum would make it harder for first time workers to get into the work force, especially young blacks. Kennedy refused their request. His policy produced more needy people.<br /><br />Here's another example: Republican Senator Tim Scott (who is black) had a police reform proposal that would have raised the standards for police. It would have discouraged police chokeholds, among other things. Democrats refused to support Scott's proposal. They didn't want blacks to be grateful to a Republican.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-57661501704194473452021-04-06T18:12:43.289-04:002021-04-06T18:12:43.289-04:00I don't recall Blow saying anything about repa...I don't recall Blow saying anything about reparations in his article.<br /><br />I don't think that an offsetting attempt to reduce discrimination is "special treatment." No one asked to be discriminated against in the first place. It is atonement when someone who has wronged another person attempts to repair the damage done.<br /><br />I think everyone should get the stuff they need to live. This idea that liberals are buying black votes with social programs is ridiculous. It assumes that black people are all needy and that social programs do not serve a much larger majority of white clients. Presumably their votes are being bought too?

IMO Blow's recitation of the horrors of slavery go along with the concept of White Privilege in a way. Both are used to show that blacks today deserve some sort of recompense or reparation. That they're entitled to some special benefit.<br /><br />By comparison, there was "gentile privilege" in the insurance industry, where I worked. At INA, a large company that was 200 years old, I was only the 2nd Jewish corporate officer. And, a commenter pointed out yesterday, when Jews celebrate Passover, the story begins with the words, "We were slaves in Egypt."<br /><br />Here's the difference. Present and past wrongs did not make me feel entitled to any recompense or reparations. None were offered. What the past wrongs taught me was that I had to work harder than the people around me. Working harder than people around them has indeed been the method by which minority after minority raised their income above the average -- Jews, Mormons, gays, Irish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc.<br /><br />Of course, black Americans have gotten the same message and they do work very hard. However, IMO things like Blow's column and "White privilege" encourage blacks to succeed by demanding special treatment, rather than by their own efforts. The demand for special treatment puts their success in the hands of others, and these others may not have black welfare as their primary goal. In particular, the primary goal of many politicians is to get black votes. This can be done by giving blacks stuff that they need. In fact, it's most easily done if blacks remain needy.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-57525959868140153472021-04-06T13:47:39.576-04:002021-04-06T13:47:39.576-04:00And then he used his cut-off button to suppress wh...And then he used his cut-off button to suppress what they had to say, so that he could instead abuse and make fun of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-72611364630212339492021-04-06T13:47:22.832-04:002021-04-06T13:47:22.832-04:00Since Osterholm was on Fox News, one assumes the r...Since Osterholm was on Fox News, one assumes the reason Somerby does his faux-outrage thing is because this is going to be the new conservative attack on Biden: He’s opening schools too soon!, after those same conservatives demanded all last year that all schools be open. <br /><br />And of course the news about the parliamentarian’s ruling is good for Democrats, so Somerby would rather make a specious criticism of Maddow.
