I still have no clue how the steel slabbed wall is going to keep folks from not climbing over it. Seems like it needs to be much higher and a better mechanism at the top to keep folks from climbing over with a rope, ladder, etc

It was always more symbolic than practical.

Give me a fricken break if you are implying that whites are 24/7 slandered.
If you think so then you've simply lived with privilege so long that you're blind to it.

As Chris Rock said, "There isn't a white man in American who would trade places with me. And I'm rich". Rock could be Muslim, gay, Mexican/Hispanic...name about any minority and it would still be true.

Did he later/ever say he wished he was white?

I'm messing with you Canada, you have been doing your best to be civilized. Stay on the meds! I'm rooting for you.
 
So then you agree that there are small minded people on both sides and that both sides try to paint the other as the extreme?
If so, I will now expect you to call out those on your side that express that small-mindedness.
Hypocrisy of the highest level right there. You of all people should never post a single post about calling anyone out.

No the idiocy that your hard left side shows from time to time.

Meh. You consider anyone left of Steve Bannon hard left. I take your opinions with a grain of salt. Your contributions to the board are limited to labeling everything you disagree with “false.”

Then why did Wall street get behind Hillary? If you think working got behind Trump because of race, and not because of the disappearance of manufacturing you're in denial. Do you think it's just happenstance that CEO salaries have exploded since manufacturing started exiting the States?

Trump immediately halted TPP, which would've been more of the same for workers. It's time to stop blaming everything on god damn race, and start looking at reality. It wasn't nor isn't about race, it was about jobs and the future.

Your entire point of view is based on race, and you have the gall to claim other people voted on racial issues, you're the problem and don't even realize it.
Bill, the disappearance of manufacturing occurred long before Hillary or orange man ever thought about running for office. Here's the data...
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MANEMP

You may notice that manufacturing in pure numbers of people peaked in 1979 at a time when there were 226 million people in the US. From 1980 - 2000 the numbers remained fairly flat although trended downward...at a time we added 60 million more people. There was a steep decline in manufacturing from 2000-2010 while we added another 25 million citizens. Since 2010 there has been an upward trend in manufacturing...but still the number of manufacturing jobs is equal to what they were in 1941...before the war when there were 200 million fewer people.

CEO salaries began exploding when we started adopting tax policies that were favorable to high CEO salaries. Those tax policies did nothing to stimulate manufacturing or to allow manufacturing wages to continue to crash.

Nowhere did I blame anything on race. I said that white working Americans started voting against their own economic interest. When their loss of economic status hit home they allowed others to blame race as the reason for their own decline when they in fact brought much of it upon themselves. Attempts to remove barriers that have existed for minorities has been characterized as giving them preferential treatment.

It's your side that keeps whining about attacks on white men, that wants to blame all of our issues on Muslims, Mexicans and blacks.

We live in a much smaller world Bill. If your job is one of unskilled labor then there are millions if not a billion people out there that will gladly do that job for less. Freight is cheap...and fast. You allowed someone to convince you that organized labor was bad. When you gave that up it opened the flood gates to management taking all the cream off the top and passing down a few crumbs here and there. There can be no debate that the decline of manufacturing wages are tied to the losses of organized labor. For all of organized labor's warts, it still benefited labor and kept wages and benefits higher for all workers. I guess as a white collar worker I should be grateful.

No, you hide most of the time then, slip up and get peeved when outed.

As far as the limited goes, it does not take much to figure that most post by some of the liberal morons on here are just that, fake or false. No point in engaging, they simply move on to the next moronic meme or baseless claim that gets outed shortly there after with no more to say about it.

Do you ever stop and listen to what you are saying and the nonsense you are posting? You don't believe 5% of the dribble you post. Nobody in America has been denied the right to vote since the voting rights act was made law. Nobody. If they say they did it is a lie. We have poll watchers making sure all citizens who are registered and follow the rules of the state in which they are registered vote. We even let dead people vote and non U.S. citizens vote in certain areas of the country.

What you post sounds good to an uneducated Boston reprobate but anyone with a brain knows it is a lie. Try this. If you are old enough, register at your local precinct, then go vote on election day or mail it in, whatever your law allows. . See how easy it was.
 

So a socialist Australian shoots up a mosque in NZ, and somehow it's because of Trump...

Okay fine...The next time a Muslim group blows up some Jews or white people in general, I'm blaming Ohmar, AOC, and Tlaib...

don't start b*tching either when that happens libs, cause ya'll are naming the game and rules...

No shit Fuzz, I know when manufacturers started leaving enmasse, I also know Obama ran on removing NAFTA, and then went the opposite direction and negotiated TPP.

I don’t think organized labor is bad, you assume wrongly a lot. The loss of organized labor is due to plants leaving, and workers were rightfully fearful if they organized their job would leave.

Trump ran on bringing manufacturing jobs back, he’s succeeded on that, why aren’t you happy with that?

The rust belt went for Trump, that wasn’t because white workers were pissed at minorities, they want work and were tired of being sold out.

A good general rule of thumb is to know that Democrats always accuse others of what they do.

Their media and politicians and activists are dog whistles for the mentally ill and the deranged.

Media sensationalizes or misleads people on a cop shooting of a black guy. Demonize cops.

Result: Two black supremacists in Dallas and Baton Rouge assassinate multiple cops. And cities get destroyed with riots.

Dems say that the GOP is evil and trying to take your heathcare by repealing Obamacare.

Result: Bernie Bro tries to massacre GOP congressmen playing baseball.

Media and Dems organize a total smear job against Kavanaugh to prevent a SCOTUS nominee by Trump.

Result: Destroyed a man’s reputation, caused activists to harass people/politicians at work, home, chase them out of restaurants, etc.

Media/Dems feed their base that anyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi. Trump will be Hitler.

Result: Mass hysteria for years. Dems following conservatives to speeches and rallies to assault and shut it down. Even confronting people over hats at school or restaurants, not wanting to serve them, banning them on social media, not allowing them to assemble to have a discussion on campus, constant violence, doxing high school kids, running smear jobs, networks threatening people over memes.

Not to mention, these people will act appalled that Tucker said “c-nt” 12 years ago but not bat an eye about Joy Reid, Media Matters, Bill Maher, Samantha Bee, Kaitlan Collins, Anderson Cooper, a network comparing Antifa to WW2 soldiers.

I can't help but point out the contradiction of what you said above. You said "there are millions, if not a billion, people out there that will gladly do your job for less". Then you say organized labor "still benefited labor and kept wages higher for all workers". There is a world market for labor, as you correctly pointed out. Keeping wages higher, does not help you keep manufacturing jobs. In fact, it leads to losing them to the people who will work for less. It's basic economics and organized labor cannot overcome market forces. If you are unwilling to work for the market wage, you will eventually lose your job.
