Heh. The liberals really don't organize that well. I know some Democratic groups may, maybe a union or two. But overall we are in no way as organized as conservative groups. They may try, liberals just don't listen all that well.

Ding ding ding ding........only difference is the republicans were the first to see this threat and decided it was better to align themselves with the Tea Party. Thus pissing off a lot of folks who then simply referred to the Tea Party movement as a Republican thing........

ill disagree with you there. Race being an issue for blacks, hispanics etc is a thing of the past IMO (its not an issue for people like me but it is an issue for blacks). it is reverse racial issues that are growing i believe. for instance when customers come into my office, lets say i have a white guy in a suit paying on an AMX black card, i dont check his insurance, not because he is white but rather i can see that he is driving a new car which usually has insurance since it is financed/worth more, plus his credit line is 3x my annual salary probably. then i have a black customer come in, they drive up in a hoopty, they are paying with cash (money order cause we dont take cash) and my black assistant checks her insurance (low and behold she doesnt have any) she immediately claims racial discrimination!?!?!?!? race was the farthest thing from ANYONES mine except hers.

i have seen whites or men not get promotions even though they were the higher ranking candidate because just 5 minutes before their interview, we received an anyonomous racial ethics point complaint that we dont promote blacks. now who do you think called in that complaint? 🤔 my boss could give two shlts less about race, he wants the best candidate like anyone else.

as a white male, am getting effing tired of being called a racist everytime i deal with someone who doesnt qualify to get a rental car or wants a free upgrade. its exhausting, we make business decisions not racial decisions. Green is green and thats how i pay my bills.

on the poll issue, its a tough call either way. the wording on them is so slanted its unreal. MSNBC did a poll that asked :

are you against STRIPPING public unions of their hard earned collective bargaining rights?

come on, thats a tad bit weighted

And just so you know that we know: yes. This is only the tip of that iceburg known as union-ville.

That florida sunshine blinding you, fuzz?
Or did you think you could simply slip that whopper right past us?

You're funny.

I know a lot of people, especially white people, like to think racism is a thing of the past, it isn't. Sure there really aren't anymore lynchings, but it's still there. Reverse racism is what? When a minority hates a white person? I'm sure there is some of that, can't stop it either direction.

Racism is when systems have the ability to control laws and situation that effect peoples lives. There really aren't any minority controlled institutions that hold the white man down.

The way you are describing that work situation is strange, especially when you say race is the furthest thing from your mind when your made up example belies your conclusion considering the language and stereotypes you used.

I'm sorry you think that the black man is keeping you down in the rental car clerk business, really. That's a fast pace, high earning, cut throat, lucrative career and I'm sure your years of higher education just to land a job like that should itself warrant an immediate 7 figure salary. Quit looking for scapegoats in other people based on their skin color.

Yeah, a lot of people got mad in WI, finally. It's about time. But how well did it work? Not well at all, yet. It's time people fought back for their rights and I hope it continues. It took an awful lot to get them finally pissed off.

If you were to look at state laws now across the country like right to work laws, union busting and other anti-worker pro-corporate laws in place or being proposed right now you would realize that complaining about the power of unions is just silly.

Before I comment, I'll allow you a chance to explain your intent here.
Because it appears to use sarcasm to imply that someones chosen occupation is not honorable or otherwise important.
I'd describe the sort of vile loser that one would have to be to employ such a tactic to simply make a point, but I'll save it until you've had time to reconsider your words.

I honestly hope I have misinterpretted.
