I guess at some time in our past there have been a few white guys on the Supreme Court, but now, NOPE.

All of the major media; NewsCorp, CBS, NBC, ABC/Disney, Time/Life, few, if any white guys running them, or in top board positions. In fact this is pretty true of the entire Fortune 500, few white guys on any of the boards.

The car dealers that GM, Ford and Chrysler cut loose, almost all were owned by white guys.

And how did America get in this position? Who is to blame? I can tell you who. It's all the fault of Peurto Rican women.

Do White Puerto Ricans count as well?

I agree, dopo's comment was beyond idiotic. Companies don't move to China and India because of illegal immigration here in the US. If anything, it is illegal immigration (and the cheap labor it provides) that prevents all American companies from moving overseas.

Right now as a country our Unemployment rate is at 9.7%.

6.5 Million people lost their Jobs.



Blacks at 14.9 % = 968,500 out of work.

Whites at 8.2 % = 533,000 out of work.

Hispanics at 9.3% = 604,500 out of work.

Asian's at 7.1% = 461,500 out of work.


Please tell me how a wise Latina woman is responsible for the job's that are lost in America again.

The OP would be funny if it were actually white men who were complaining or were as transfixed on gender and color as other people seem to be.

Let me get this straight, are you saying companies outsource because of free markets and low tariffs? Ok, well low tariffs don't help keep them here, but this is a new age of a global economy and Protectionism isn't much of a reality anymore. How about Unions, American high standard of living, and business taxes send companies overseas.
