Painting people upset over losing their jobs as being upset over the browning of America

is disgusting and is intended to divide us.

I'll be sure to tell my Black American friends and neighbors who have voiced concerns about jobs being shipped overseas and foreign workers being brought in to replace American Workers who already held those jobs (and who have personally suffered as a result) that they need to get over it and stop being upset with the browning of America.

The corporate puppet Goolsbee seemed down right jovial during certain points of his CNN interview as he spewed forth this garbage to cover for how corporations have screwed this country (and engage in exploiting workers worldwide).

They have long used race to divide the poor and working class and told us if you think you have it bad look at Black Americans and how bad they have it (as if it should somehow make the exploitation and greed of the 1% okay as long as a class of people are exploited a little more than you).

To divert attention from the growing divide and the disgust with our corrupt government that works for the 1% and not the people, they are using race, gender, and sexual orientation to divide us. We would be fools to let them succeed.

is a race no one should be willing to participate in. And that's exactly what it is for almost literally everyone, regardless of color.

where he was head economist, and took a job with the Obama campaign. I took it as a sign of things to come.

meanwhile the Clintonistas STILL believe Jackie Coakley and want Crystal Gayle Mangum released, and post such deranged balderdash it'd get laughed out of an Oberlin common room
