Im not going to say i am the biggest supporter of black folk i am not prej but nor have i had many good conversations with black folk. The thing i want to ask and get across is with illegal immigration and the true facts that the black folk are and still are one of the most poverty stricken people in the united states due to prej that are out there and yes there are some lazy ones to just like white folk (i am white)but not lazy. My thing is that the fact that these people are surpressed and are so poverty stricken not only does illegal people steel the jobs of middle class americans (white or black) but also takes low paying jobs away for the recovery of the black folk. President bush might be some what sielent on the fact that he supports illegal immigration but he made only one visit to strengthen ties with the NCAAP i think thats what it called but he made only one visit to them. Mind you it was election induced meaning he only did it for the vote. Does this disturb you?

what good does it do to give rights to people like the black folk if they cant enjoy those privleges when they have no money to do so. Of course this is not all black folks but its getting kinda goofey that a black man or women can only find jobs in the rapper, nike commercial, and other fields that are some what degrading because commercials rarly show the hard working black individual in a setting other then a rapper!!

There are many multi millionaire black Americans that have not made their money from music/sports /drugs/etc.They are and will remain an active and welcomed partner in this country's economy.There are many poor people in this country of all colors ,there are a lot of poor whites than live in abject poverty.You are stereotyping and generalizing about black people.Why doesn't that surprise me?
Legal immigrants deserve respect,as do all legal Americans of all colors,they are all Americans.
Illegal aliens are law breakers who do not deserve jobs, amnesty, educational subsidies, driver's licenses, and other benefits at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.Illegal aliens first should be encouraged to Go Home voluntarily and then humanely deported as the law requires. Once the public recognizes that jobs and benefits equal encouragement the public will truly press for the flow to cease. Amnesties for illegal aliens have clearly made the problem worse and should be vigorously opposed

Um, I dont know where you are looking and which TV shows you are watchng, but everyhere I look, I see intelligent successful RICH black people in ALL fields of economic endeavour, why there was a couple that went up with some of the space shuttles and one even did a space walk! , yes some do like the rap music Industry and others sectors of the music Industry, yes there are poor ones too, just like the poor in any sectionof society , so I am not sure that you are as alert and enlightened as you try your best to be. Keep watching the news !

IN many cases, the immigrants (here I mean the immigrants - either legal or illegal) from latin countries are the only ones who will take certain jobs. In the construction industry, there are many jobs available. Yes, they are usually low-paying, physically demanding, hot and dirty jobs. I have witnessed many cases in which attempts were made to give these jobs to unemployed Americans - both black and white. Apparently they consider these jobs to be beneath them because they either will not take them or will work one day and you never see them again.
The latin workers take these jobs and are happy to have them. They are conscientious in coming to work, they work very hard, they learn fast and do whatever is needed. They either save their money (most of them) or send it home to support their families. I would rather see some of these become citizens and reap the benefits of their hard work than watch some of our 'American-born" citizens sit on their butts and collect my tax money as welfare.
So, I guess that i disagree with your premise to the question that the immigrants take jobs away from the poor - the poor will not take the jobs that are there.
To get to your question -the president has made many more attempts than you state to strengthen ties with the NAACP and other black groups. I cannot locate the specifics on the web, but if you watch the news channels you would see at least one a month I am sure.

Republicans are notorious for neglecting minorities, which is why you find most minorities in the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party supports Democracy, for which it is named for. Republicans are elitist, and George bush has said this public ally and that elitist are his people. So, if you are a Republican, but you are not among the elite, meaning that you are not rich, famous and powerful, then your own party hates you. The President, who is suppose to represent everyone and is suppose to defend the rights of everyone denies the oath of his office and could care less about those sacred words on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired and your poor....." If Bush had his way he would change that to: "Give me your rich and influential." Let us pray for a change in government in 08, and let us pray that it will be an administration filled with compassion and understanding. Let us pray that a true Christian is elected president of this country.

Many of Bush's most ardent supporters are whites from the south and the west. They are not overtly prejudiced against blacks anymore, but they would not support a president who actively supports the National Association for the ADVANCEMENT of Colored People.
