"do you really expect most blacks to accept the worst jobs at the wages oftimes below minimum wage? I don't, and no other established ethnic group in America will either".
Wow, I fully disagree with this statement. There are a lot of unfilled minimum wage and slightly above minimum wage jobs out there, they aren't necessarily fun or give you the quality of life you may want, but they do pay. I expect everyone to work whatever they have to in order to provide for themselves and their families. The idea that some work is beneath us is f'n arrogant and irresponsible. Our federally funded programs have been mismanaged so that people don't have to work, because they have the option to do nothing and collect $. There must be expectations set for any $ given by the government to people who are physically and mentally capable of working. Thats where we have missed the mark.
Your right, some 1st generation immigrants were more likely to do this work but many later generations did too...look at all the people who went into trades, laborers, mom & pop stores, resturants. Look how many Italians & Irish opened family businesses. So, I disagree to an extent.
