Racist bar signs?

[CantCMe]

It's a general statement... doesn't pin point any race...and it's true

Do you think CNN interviewed her because they new she might have a good opinion about this ? You think it was just a coincident ? ah, don't think so...

They new the reaction they would have from her.... I guess whats funny is she knew what they had up last month !!!!

I've seen this one as a bumper sticker:

"WORK HARD people on welfare depend on you"

Donas - Your espaol is bad (lol2)

CNN more than likely interviewed ALOT of people but only showed the one they knew would get people to talk about the story. If everybody would have said they could give a sh*t about those signs we wouldn't be talkin' about it. I hate the media...show me some sh*t about someone helping the unfortunate...b*tches.

I heard it was very clean. Everyone says that and that has me curious.

Come take my car away and burn it... I hate it today...

LOL! Nice! Leave me a speed 6 please!

Seriously though, good luck getting more than 2 miles. It has a spun rod bearing... Hence why I hate it.

But in all seriousness. I'd actually be open to a guest worker program that gave have Citizens the first crack at the jobs "Americans won't do" and then offered any unfilled positions to migrant workers under supervision.
.

I really can't stand that statement were they say there are jobs thats Americans won't do which I think is total BS.

I mean its pretty much true thought? These people arent sitting behind desks at Nortel, or IBM. They are working as construction "helpers", landscapers, and at McDonalds, BK and Wendy's. Most are jobs that Americans think they are too good to do, or just too lazy to do.

As a culture American's want everything given to them without actually having to work hard for it. Instead of working for something, most folks would rather play the lotto or hope publishers clearing house will come to their front door.

Its just like the Imus thing. I never ever listen to Imus, nver heard his show once in my life, and what he did was terrible as he put down a group of young women who were at the pinnacle of their career. And he called them Ho's.

But I was flabbergasted by the outrage in the black community. Has anyone listened to a hip-hop CD lately? Has anyone watched a rap video lately?

As a black immigrant to the USofA, I came here and I not only took the chip off my shoulder, I hurled it into the deepest part of the freaking ocean. I have my faith, a lovely wife who loves me (who happens to be white), and my diverse group of friends who have thought me so much!

If someone wants to hate be because I'm black or because I'm in a interracial marriage or because I'm African, then thats their problem. I REFUSE to let it impact my life. I'll try and reach out and change their minds, but if they choose to want nothing to do with me, its their problem.

Its time to move past this entitlement mentality. Bad bad things happened in this country in the past. Bad stuff still happens today, but its time to above blaming others and bust your butt to make your own way. Your kids and grandkids will thank you no matter what race you are.

To sum it up, the bar owner in the vid might he rough around the edges, but that comment on his sign is in no way racist. Welfare WAS supposed to be a way for you to get on your feet, not a generational lifestyle. BREAK THE CYCLE!!!!!!

I do agree with everything you wrote, but....

Imus said "Nappy headed ho's" to be exact. And "Nappy Headed" anything is a racist remark, especially with a basketball team almost completely black. "Nappy head" walked hand and hand with "Ni66er" back in the day.
Imus wasn't the only one to take a blow though. Because of that comment, the "hip hop" community took a blow also. (Long overdo too) Imus made a valid point when he said "rappers use the word ho's and b#tchs all the time". When he said that, the black americans in high positions took that into account strongly. Didn't you see the funeral for the "N" word?...lol Hip hop has been taking a bashing now also. People like Oprah, Bill Cosby, Al Sharpton etc. fight to bring hip hop down to nothing. Not to mention the decline in sales for hip hop artists.

Thats NOT true. American workers do work hard and are willing to work but we are not stupid. What people need to understand is that employers, big companies, corporations do not want to pay fair wages and benefits to american workers, so they cut corners by hiring illegal workers/immagrants who would work for less. Then the employer does not have to worry about paying benefits to these workers. I guarantee if fair wages and benefits wasn't an issue in american society there wouldn't even be a welfare issue or even an immigration issue as we have today.

Bar signs are not racist, but those who put those statements up on the signs...they have some issues...

They have every right to put whatever the hell they want up there...It's there sign, their property, their clientelle....Why do we all care so damn much??? and why is it that whenever you say "Welfare" everybody goes ohhhh they must be talking about those HIspanic people, or those Blacks...Welfare is not a RACE!!!!

Anyway, I'm just sick of all the stuuuupid crap on the news, stupid people in the world, and stupid s*** that they do to each other...

this is true, to a point. There are some jobs like these where you can't make enough money to support yourself let alone a family.

start with $6.50 per hour
40 hours a week
52 weeks a year

$13520

now subtract taxes ~ 25%

$10140

now health ins for a family ~ $300 per month

$6540

$545 dollars a month for rent, utilities, food and clothing.

This job could not support a single person.

As a culture American's want everything given to them without actually having to work hard for it. Instead of working for something, most folks would rather play the lotto or hope publishers clearing house will come to their front door.

I would rather win the lottery than work for the rest of my life. (you are lying if you say different)

Your sig might be the most adorable animal ever. Is that a dog?

I think so. The picture is called Pissy Puppy.
I am relatively sure he is an immagrant and not on welfare.(poke)

Yard work... I'll die before I do any type of yard work. Heck... I'd rather pay to have my grass cut. Call me lazy, but heat+mosquitos+sweat+dirt in my eyes+me do not mix.

That statement does have truth to it.

Ak...you just pointed it out. Those are exactly the jobs that Americans do not want. They don't pay enough nor do they offer adequate benifits. So most Americans won't do it. You can't blame the employers for finding someone, immigrants, to do the work. Employers are out to make the largest profit possibly and save as much money as possible.

As far as I know, the only folks who are hiring illegals as "helpers" are construction workers and jobs in the same kind of field.

Why is it as Americans, we think we are too good to work at Mcdonalds, BK, and Wendy's? U get laughed at if u tell someone u work at any one of these places? Most people on welfare would rather sit on welfare, then work at one of these places because it’s easy money?

I'm looking at both sides of the spectrum here, I’m from the hood. Born and raised in Cincinnati OH and I know lots of folks on welfare that collect because its easy money and they do other activities on the side to get more money as well.

On the other hand, my wife is from ElSlavador, and her dad came over here 25 years ago with nothing to escape the war over there. He worked as a dishwasher, learned English, and went to school to become an electrician. Now he owns 8 homes in Northern VA rents them all out, and has retired at like 50 something because he worked hard for all he has. He is a citizen, has brought all his family over here legally (he has 12 brothers and sisters) and they all work hard. Harder than most folks I know that are Americans do.

If folks are coming over hear starting trouble with gangs, or drugs, or honestly not working at all and soaking up all the taxpayers’ money. Then they shouldn't be here. But neither should all the folks on welfare that are soaking up all the taxpayers’ money either....

Your giving your opinion on the type of work you do not like doing and thats koo, but majority of americans WILL work. If you choose to have someone else do the work then thats ok....example the american worker is asking for $10 an hour and an illegal worker is asking for $5. Who would you hire?

Yes and I explained the reason behind it! Its not the american worker who is being lazy, Its the companies who are cutting the corners and not paying the right wages. Thats the problem.

Since you meantion construction this is a major issue thats going on and unions are up in arms over this issue. Instead of the job paying union wages there hiring illegal workers at half and putting alot of union workers out of jobs. My father who has been a Sheet Metal worker for over 25 years with his local (28) is dealing with issues like this.

Americans do not think there too good for jobs such as mcdonalds, BK or even Wendys...do you even know what the starting wage for these jobs are??! How can you feed your family, pay rent or even a car note on a job like this?! Its not possible! I bet you if Mcdonalds or any fast food restaurant was paying 20 an hour you think people would think twice about working there?!
