Numbers source forthcoming. They are from Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, the former a professor at George Mason, the latter an economist. When I first cited Prof Williams I was unaware of his libettarian bent so I will find a more neutral source to back it up.In the meanwhild, Gwazi proved the point I was making about the racists and the minimum wage. The racists, particularly outside the south, could not get business to ban black labor. So instead they stole the only means the black people had to compete with a unionized and much larger white workforce by creating a minimum wage to prevent the blacks from undercutting them. It was only a trivial step to negotiate closed shop with management. Since blacks were banned from many unions, the unions had succeded in keeping blacks down.The overtly racist union is a thing of the past, but their policies are still around, still oppressing the black man. Denis Kearney is a perfect example of the racist union leader. Google him and have your minds blown.So the party which was instrumental in defending slavery, which had a KKK member very high in its ranks up until the early 2000s, which tried to filibuster Civil Rights is still doing its darndest to keep blacks down. Minimum wage prevents young blacks who cannot get good educations, particularly as the war on Charter Schools continued, from getting work experience and thus ever moving up. It does not end the cycle of poverty, it perpetuates it.Nobody finds it the least bit connected that the minimum wage corresponds with an enormous migration of blacks from the south?
You're confusing side effects and outside influences with actual motivation.
Did minimum wage cause more white people to get hired? Yes, but was that the motivation/reason for it? No.
The point of minimum wage as to allow people enough money to be supported and survive without being in poverty.
But naturally the more paid workers get, the highly quality of education/performance they expect so naturally people who came from more well off and better educated communities got hired more.
And just so happens due to a number of factors such as immigration, past slavery etc that those better educated communities were majority white, so more white people got the job simply for the education they had, not because of the fact they were white.
Though this is the exact same point I just argued above, and you seem to be ignoring it completely (or simply cherry picking and twisting what you want to hear).

I have it on good authority that when that happens, you can all combine into a single Megazord.
The only three ranger megazord in existence, and stronger than all the others combined. :P
I want to see this megazord now... XD
