I mean, if you can't get a job because no one will hire you because you were in prison, what else are you going to do?

If they need help, they won't hire employees, they'll contract out the work to other single-person businesses and let them pay their own social security and other expenses. Decisions like this are a good example of why. <br /><br />It never occurs to these guys that the reason these minorities are arrested more often is that they <b>actually commit more crimes</b>. I think it was Walter E. Williams who said that he was more uncomfortable around groups of black youths in that 14-24 age range than whites and it had nothing to with sterotypes (for those not familiar, Dr. Williams is black and a retired professor) but everything to do with the reality of the types of crimes those kids commit. It's not paranoia, it's situational awareness! <br /><br /><br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-18053013131300501432013-02-16T09:39:37.764-06:002013-02-16T09:39:37.764-06:00Just another convoluted version of reparations to ...Just another convoluted version of reparations to the descendants of slaves.

They will mark the employment interviews accordingly. Since denying whites jobs on the basis of a background check isn't a problem, that's who will be checked and hired.<br /><br />Brilliant, EEOC!tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164718561825615886noreply@blogger.com
