Sure...Busing Worked Before, Right?

You can tell where his mindset is at...because I can, off the top of my head, think of at least two or 3 different ways he could of worded that. But he chose the path that includes only black kids/teens as the sole population of the inner city...or at least the kids that need singular attention. He cited the horrible black youth employment discrepancy...but I'm not buying that item as his motivation for his thought process.

Even with the best of intentions and sincerity in tow, he's GOT to be aware enough to know how that would be received. If he didn't...then he's truly fuck'in out of touch...I mean, horribly. I'd be interested to know if his "concern" ever included thoughts towards vocational or educational related programs for black inner city youth for employment...or if picking crops was the extent of his problem solving and they just "naturally" fit the bill in this regard. Lot's of other youth races live in inner cities. Even if you're talking about an inner city that is of majority black population, how the fuck does he pop that one off, with regards to black youth AND NOT think, "oh shit...fuckin put my fat in the fire on that one...d'oh!"

"Many of our inner city youth are having a horrible, horrible time finding work. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic and more, only need the opportunity and our support to realize a sense of independence. The pride one finds in a hard days work for a decent wage and knowing *that* sweat, *that* hard work is the cornerstone of a journey begun that can take them anywhere. I propose that the jobs that illegal immigrants did, we offer to these youth as an opportunity to help better their situations and prospects. Hard work to be sure, but work that can be rewarding and fulfilling in it's own right. Every journey, as I previously mentioned, starts with a first step. It behooves us to help all of our youth with that first step during these economically troubling times. Offer them the ability to understand their situation isn't set in stone and that even from the most humble of beginnings, before they move on to even greater things I'm sure, they had a chance. Because we're America...and that's what we do!"

Simple!
