- Go to Race and Jobs in America?
Wetzel,
Interesting and popular theory! Not reality. The poorest white on the Planet trumps the richest black or brown, because of this unwritten and unspoken supremacy thing!

DarrkeThoughts,
I simply do not know how to respond to this comment? Jobs vs. careers? What is the difference in your mind? House workers vs. Field workers???

My belief is that it is human greed and power rather than race that is at the core of our problems. If you're brown or black and yet have money and power you get the goodies in America. If you're poor with no power, irregardless of your color you get zero. Peggy

Totally untrue! Take the company I worked at for instance, more than half the employees were hispanic. Never mind that they all worked in the warehouse and only the white folks worked in the office. And the trucking company I'm (probably) going to work for. You walk through the driver's lounge and at least half the faces are black! There are plenty of jobs in this country for brown people...maybe few careers...but plenty of jobs...
