A blast from the past…

The hot topic on Capitol Hill today was how to stimulate the economy without any of the money going to white male construction workers. Massive infracture projects planned will create a lot of temporary construction jobs and they are working on a plan to get blacks to show up to work.

Those are not my words but yes it is degrading to blacks, implying they are not already out there at work. I love it when liberals talk unscripted on camera. I have been in construction for most of my life and I can speak from experience. Construction workers come in all colors, unlike senators they don’t have a majority of 99 whites to 1 black. (remember when the democrats vowed to keep the lone African/American Roland Burris from taking Obama’s seat?)

Here’s the transcript….

ROBERT B. REICH: a member of the President-elect’s economic transition advisory board, I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high skill people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers. I have nothing against white male construction workers. I’m just saying that there are a lot of other people who have needs as well, and therefore, in my remarks, I have suggested to you, and I’m certainly happy to talk about it more, ways in which the money can be — criteria can be set so that the money does go to others, the long-term unemployed, minorities, women, people who are not necessarily construction workers or high skilled professionals.

CHARLIE RANGEL DEMOCRAT: We’re going to have to find some way to establish formulas to expedite this where governors are going to be forced to find some formula to find out how can we get the money where the hemorrhages are. Whether Harlem is going to compete, whether Newark, is not nearly as important if at the end of the day we know where the joblessness are, where the fears are, and that we can get the federal formulas to target the relief to these communities once they meet that criteria.

Sounds awfully racist to me on the second day of the post-racial days of America. Seems it was the liberals promoting the racial division all the while.

shhhh....

Shhhhh….
