Racerx I was with you all the way until I read the part about "show the white people". I am black, never been to jail, have two children, both graduated HS, one as Senior Class President, and the other as Senior Class Vice President. One is a Chemical Engineer, the other is still in college. Me, well, let's just say I have a work history of over 35 years. Not all people of a certain color are ass holes. I would not want to get into a lengthy discussion about why "Blacks in general" are struggling, because it would take a history lesson to explain the root cause. I will say this, break up the home and you destroy the family.
Back to the topic.
In the 1970's blacks were working the fields in California LONG LONG BEFORE THE MEXICANS. Anyway while sitting around with the fellas shipping on cold brewskis, I was known to voice my opinion. You see the city closed down a few Jr. HIGH Schools. My idea was take the women on welfare and have them work in the fields and at night go to school to get an education. The older ladies on welfare could take care of the kids/babies while the mother's worked and went to school. BOTH would EARN their monthly pay. The dead beat dads would also have to work and go to school at night, IF THEY DID NOT HAVE A JOB. Simple, work the fields, pay for your child/children, or go to jail not to be cool but to work. This could be work in the fields.
In my eyes everyone wins. Get paid, get an education, move off welfare, contribute to society.
I was called a nut, amongst other names that will not be printed here.
As time went by the Mexicans started coming and working the fields. See, in the 1970's finding a job was EASY.
Blacks got out of the fields and worked blue collar jobs, the Mexicans worked the fields. In the 1980's the oilfields hired like mad. You could work for one company and have another offer to pay you a dollar an hour more to come and work for them the next day. Money was there to be made. Lots of folks worked. Then the drilling stopped, the housing market came to a stop. Everything turned upside down, in my part of the world. Jobs were lost.
Back on track. In the later 1990's I came up with a solution for aliens. Fine the employer $25,000 per person. PERIOD. Get caught a second time, put the Owner in jail.
Crops rotting in the fields, solution, chaingangs.
Don't want to be in a chaingang, do not go to jail. This is for men and women.
I was called very bad names.
Edited because Kindle Fire has word correction. Or tried to. Peace.
