America: The Land of Gangsters

I've been wondering out loud lately-did black people in general sign up for the pain they would have to go through to get President Obama agenda achieved ? What I mean by that is there are untold numbers of blacks, latins, muslim and liberal whites that have lost there jobs because of their political view. There have been women (mostly black) that have come on to job sites, whether it be casual Friday or everyday clothes, wearing Barak Obama tee shirts or overly happy about his win, are now laided off, or outright fired now. People that don't really follow minusha of Government and it's effects on the business culture don't know what hit them, some probably had just got a good yearly review or raise.

Not all but a good portion of small and large corporations are run by very conservative IE Republican men. These men (not all) are taking the election and the direction President Obama is taking the country very personally, The more Mr. Obama tries to get his agenda across the more and more these people have fears that their freedoms and money to some extent will be taken away from them, in the form of higher taxes. The way these people get back at Obama and his kind (Dems, Liberals blacks and Latins- who they think are all illegal) is to lay as many of them off as possible.

It's been widely reported that businesses went overboard in cutting jobs last fall and winter. Right now the stock market is sailing right along -higher and higher. Most economist feel like the recovery is well on it's way to becoming reality. But nobody feels flush, know one feels 'safe' yet. This as we all know is because of jobs. Unemployment is still a huge problem among young black men, there rate of unemployment is at like 25 to 30%. Blacks overall unemployment is 14.6 but going lower, this is good. The Hispanic unemployment rate is12.6 but going hire, which isn't good.

This brings me back to my original thought- why do 'some' black have to suffer because Barak Obama wants to try to 'utopasize' a very gangster America ? Anyone who has been paying attention to American since the Reagan Revolution of the early 80's, up-to-now, know that in America people steal big money, and they don't have to wear masks. These days the best thieves wear- three piece Brooks Brothers suits while stealing millions and in some cases billions.

All of this while the local news concentrate on brothers and poor whites stealing hundred dollar Playstations. This is the culture of America now, this 'is' the new normal -Russians, Italians, Hispanics and to a lesser extent the Jews realized this long ago. Rich Rappers like Jay-Z and 50 Cent figured it out and try to explain it, in their raps. It's why I like Jay, he just says it, "it's only illegal if you get caught". Welcome to America

I like America, it's a competitive place, if you have some hustle and imagination you can have some incredible times hear, (Lord knows I have). But I also understand that America is a Country consumed by gangsters who like it just the way it is. Wall Streeters hate when you refer to them as gangsters, they prefer business men. But you tell me: a guy sits down with his friend, he's known for 25 yrs, we'll say at Goldman Sachs. They are discussing a compensation package where he pays his friend 100 million dollars for a years work. The deal says whether the Company make money or loses money his friend gets paid enough money to take care of three generations of his family. Now you tell me that's not gangster.
