The TWO most RACIST laws still IN EFFECT in the USA (guess?)
 

Law #1 - Minimum wage laws




Law #2 - Drug Laws



Racism can be direct or it can have a discriminatory impact. These laws have F'ed up impacts.

Your thoughts?

Bullshit on the minimum wage theory in the first video.

Read "The Jungle".

That is the reality, and it's a reality that most people will deny because they simply
can not believe it and, lucky for them, they will never be in this situation.

Ron Paul is correct, it's a well know fact that the death penalty is applied in
strange ways and too many death row inmates have been cleared now that DNA
science it available.

If there is a way that the death penalty is racist then it would have to be that
whites who kill blacks simply don't get death. It's so rare as to be non-existent.

Read that unbelievable shit.

my brotha im not reading all that shit :helpme

So you are claiming one of the most influential economists is wrong?

As proof you are offering a work of fiction written 100 years ago? :helpme
(it could be worse, at least you didn't paste some bible verses as proof... :1orglaugh)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Fuck yea, props to Ron Paul!

:thumbsup

Even Einstien was wrong if you've read the news lately.

That dude is talking about minimum wage of $2.50 per hour.
Grow the fuck up and stop treating that guy like Jesus while claiming that I'm
holding on to old shit.

:1orglaugh

Why brag about being stupid though?

:helpme

ok slow motion :1orglaugh

Ya know... the most racist people in the world are those who try to find racism in every damn thing.

And it's people like you (in general not specifically) that are the number 1 reason racism will never end.. simply because you make every damn thing about race.

nice :thumbsup

You are right and also wrong at the same time because pretending that racism
doesn't and never existed is also a reason that it will never end.

Racism is like VD, it won't go away just because you ignored it.

:1orglaugh

I don't recall ever saying, or acting as if, racism doesn't and never existed. The problem is, people like you try to find racism in every damn thing you do. And as such, people like you who always throw race into everything, are the number 1 reason racism will never end.

"People like me."

Hmmmmmm?

I didn't make this thread.

Maybe you need to go back and read where I said it was bullshit.

Looks like you are the one trying to find it where it isn't.

Try practicing what you tried to preach.

:2 cents:

I saw the unintended negative effects of minimum wage when I was a fast food manager. When minimum wage increased by 20%, on the same day all major chains had to increase their prices by 25% percent to compensate for the increased wages, taxes, unemployment insurance, etc. At the same time, we had to be a liitle more careful about the hours that the youngest or least paid employes clocked. Overall, their paychecks increased by about 15%, while prices increased by 25%. Therefore their pay could but LESS of the product than before the increase. This is yet another example of well meaning politicians failing to think through how people will haver to responds to policy changes. So often they make policy based on the assumption that nobody will do anything in response.

For the MOST racist laws, though, how about the ones that are racist on their face? We still have laws saying that college admissions standards are at one level for one race, but another race can't get in unless they meet a higher standard. Similarly for much government hiring. There are rules that explicitly say people of one race must be discriminated against in government hiring. Those are the most racist. One can argue that is "the good kind of racism", but it's most certainly racism.

I am white. I care because?

The President is black and makes way more than minimum wage. He also doesn't care about changing it or drug laws. Why should I care?

/devils advocate

I was merely replying to your post. I didn't review previous posts before replying.. and your reply to my post made you sound like one of those types who find racism in everything :P

My bad on that ^^

While the book may be categorized under fiction in your local book store, it is the farthest thing from it. The only reason it's regarded as fiction is because he had to change the names of the subjects he was writing about. Upton Sinclair was a gonzo journalist who worked for months in Chicago's meat packing industry experiencing everything written in the book firsthand. The book was actually a cataclyst for the formation of the F.D.A., so to say it's a work of fiction is disingenous. It was taken seriously enough at the time that president Roosevelt sent the labor commision to the stockyards to investigate the claims, which were confirmed.

there is no perfect law system, but some should be fixed!

wow. that second one id seen before and yay.
that first one id never seen before and fuck that self serving dickstroker.

Not racist at all, if someone thinks they are victims of racism based on min wage and drug laws.... get a better job and don't get involved in drugs. Both things are possible regardless of race once you stop playing victim and others stop coddling.

so your rebuttal on that is that because Einsteins theory was improved upon all innovation and accepted advancements in knowledge should be ignored? You realize that's what you are suggesting right?

Never underestimate the power of unintended consequences.

So far this is my favorite part of this thread

" Nearly half a century and at least 1,000 executions since it last happened in the United States, a white person was executed yesterday for killing a black.

.................

Since executions were resumed in the United States in 1977 after a decade-long hiatus, 42 of the 153 people executed have been blacks who killed whites; until yesterday none have been of whites who killed blacks. "


If your going to post stats like that at least back them up with the numbers that are important. Like how many blacks are on death row for killing whites and how many whites are on for killing blacks.

this way when the haters arrive, you have already covered it.

Min Wage
 

If Walmart could repeal the minimum wage, they'd demand you pay them to work there.
