What is disturbing is in not understanding that they take jobs that blacks should have 'graduated' from long ago, by virtue of educating themselves to grab the reins of their development, however that education was attained. How sad it is that blacks would ever claim ownership of bottom rung jobs that, when passed from generation to generation, only cement notions of inferiority. This is the future the Coalition seems to want for blacks, and I am not buying it.James C.

I spent a 2 hour flight with a red marker, reading every word and dissecting many of the formulas that they used to model the phenomena that they pointed out. They even had a component that factored in the impact of Crack Cocaine on Incarceration.<BR/><BR/>I must ask - you provided anecdotal evidence to justify your claim. The report that I am speaking of uses empirical data from the Census, Department of Labor, Department of Justice and other sources.<BR/><BR/>How do you so readily dismiss the finds of the research group. (To be clear - the video is not what I am talking about. If you click through to the link that they provide you can read the entire report for yourself.)Constructive Feedbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-58477850579645066112008-02-27T20:41:00.000-08:002008-02-27T20:41:00.000-08:00Conservatives have historically been more tight-fi...Conservatives have historically been more tight-fisted on the border, but you would need to look for the candidates backed by Coalition organizations to deduce who the video producers believes will benefit. Otherwise, the capture of any sizable portion of black voters, by such an appeal, simply represents an attempt to grab a voting block that just may swing an election, or at least influence an agenda item.James C.
