The unemployment rate among blacks is very high. I can see why they are upset.

Good question: BTW don't listen to the nutty liberals that will answer. I believe only less than 1% of the population isn't able to work...we should take care of them...but we have to many that are fully capable or working but simply chose not to...they should be left alone to suffer the consequence of THEIR choices

No your not wrong.  But dont get so worked up over people like that.  That lady has a problem and its called power tripping.  I think she would of bothered anyboy of any race, or color.  You just happened to be the people she targeted in her quest for satisfaction of power.  Whatever!! she works at the YMCA, her life probobly sucks anyway!  Let it go mama.

I am sure they are making racial comments. To be honest, they are that way they are because they never put them self in the other person’s shoe. Can you think of one thing a black race in this country did to you that make you say it was not worth getting their 400 years off free labor. Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a man till you walk a mile in his shoe." Most blacks do not tip good because they do not have that much to spare. \n\nIf it makes you feel better, I am as black as it gets, and I usually tip between 30-40%; because I once worked as a waiter to put myself through school. \n\nIn now days am seeing more and more blacks in the professional work places and universities. That means there is a higher level of hope in the future; they will be able to tip well.

Agreed. We know the poor are not coming but the I want more (on the whole). They used that excuse to often and we know the truth. As with menial jobs. It does not cut the mustard on posts any more-nor does racism. Time to talk truths.\n\nIt seems many don't want to answer the questions that point that out-their excuse for bad behavior is gone. And yes look at who is crossing on film these are not touch ups.\n\nAnd to some of these post--we can show you some real America that is just as sad-mary we have many slums

I was in New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. When we were evacuating the city we passed by very poor neighborhoods. Most of the people living in those neighborhoods were African American. They were sitting on the porches waving to us. I asked my boyfriend why they weren't leaving and he said they didn't have enough money for gas, food, hotel etc.. I don't think its the entire black race that feels this way about it. Just those in New Orleans who did not have enough money to evacuate.

I saw a sign on the way in this morning that said:\n"Illegals want the same rights as citizens"  That is want they think they are going to get.  By the way, I saw at least 50 day laborers in front of our local Home Depot.\nMaybe they think a boycott is something a young male child sleeps on.

You miss the point. If they didn't create problems, there wouldn't be problems for them to solve & they'd all be unemployed.

It's a damn shame that, this is what it has come to in parts of the country. I work a manual labor job, granted I don't make 5 dollars an hour.. so, I would have to disagree there will always be people to take those jobs.. some sort of jobs. People that really want to provide the best they can for themselves or their families. My boss hired a Mexican lady once, she was legal.. married to a American man. She seemed nice.. BUT... she could NOT read english, barely write it and speak it. I asked her if she was going to learn english... and she told me straight out no!! I was taken aback by this.. as I have never encountered this before but I was pissed. If you want to be legal and come here and work,fine for now I guess!(who knows what the government will do w/amnesty) NOT live off the system.. NOT live in a shitty house with 6 kids and have a brand spanking new car in the garage! I don't know about anyone else but refusing to speak english is a pure insult!! (Sorry, I know part of my response is in the wrong catagory.) I don't think they will get a higher education.. some may and a lot more may not. They just want the money.. but shame on some of our employers for hiring them. It's such a double-edged sword.. you feel bad for them on a level but angry with them on another level. I guess time will tell.

there are always people that are desperate and need a job, illegal or not. there is a lot of extremely poor people in the united states.

I'm am definitely taking off may 1st!\nAnd my aunt who owns a large grocery store, a restaurant, and a wholesale distribution warehouse is closing all her businesses for that day!!!she's very wealthy, and she's supporting it alot! I think alot of employers are going to be out boycotting!!! \nso,shake that off racists!\n\nAlot of the people on here leaving rude messages are just jealous because alot of the illegals work harder than them and they feel guilty and scared that harder working people are going to achieve more!\n\nlazy mentality!

your right! They are milking the government for all they can get. crying racism if they don't continue to get free places to stay, eat, get a check etc...I feel sorry for the real victims of Katrina, but they have found cases of people actually living in St. Louis, Missouri; that collected quite a bit of money; stating they were victims just because of their race. Most of the real victims have re-started their lives, but you have the ones that are lazy,and never having anything to begin with, in new homes. What a disgrace to our country. When another catastrophe happens, there won't be any funds. Not to say there hasn't been other catastrophes, but because of the race issue; this one will continue on.

Hi, I'm new to this service but when I saw your question I had to answer. Actually, I don't have an answer for you, sorry. I'm from New Orleans and I cant tell you how embarrassed all of the working people of this city are, as we watch the ghetto project leaches try to pull their crap in another city. All their life it's been nothing but hand outs for them and it created massively stupid, overweight, criminals that have babies at a record pace. This is not a black thing it's a welfare thing and it needs to stop now. I'm glad your city is playing hard ball, maybe they will finally learn. They all want to come home for the free ride again but, WE DONT WANT THEM BACK!!!   Just yesterday it got ugly again because we are tearing doun all the housing projects and it's no big secret we are not rebuilding the lower ninth ward.  Don't be afraid to speak up about the problems they cause because they do cause plenty, and it's not raciest to call them out on it. They will scream racism for anything and everything because that's all they know. I lived with this my whole life. Sorry, but it might be your turn for a while. Don't let Houston be a push over like New Orleans was for so many years. You don't owe them anything! They won't even appreciate it if you did. It's a total take take society.

That was an interesting Freudian slip wasn't it. The majority of the poor in that area (New Orleans) just happened to be black.

One more white South African who can't  cope with reality.\nStop whining and do something to level the enormous gap between the haves and have-nots, and you'll have done something worth while. But that would mean to help mostly black people, and YOU can't be expected to do that, can you?

You're talking about "southerners" and quite frankly they are the laziest lot of people alive. They don't want to work period. They won't cook, clean, do paper work, restaurant work, office work, etc. They don't do anything. Ever. I lived in the south. I have NO sympathy for them.
