Gaza and the Death of Western Journalism
'Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more journalists than any other conflict in recent memory – so why is the Western media still silent?' http://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/8/2/gaza-and-the-death-of-western-journalism Posted by Armchair Critic, Saturday, 3 August 2024 8:02:56 AM

Donald, is running the "BLACK JOBS MATTER" campaign in America, just the other day he said; "If it wasn't for BLACK JOBS, who would put my trash out!".

Are Australians really doing it tough - or is it pure media beat up?
I know I don't go around asking people how they are doing; they don't ask me. Stats from May 24 to June 24 show that people spent less on essentials (food), but the same or MORE on discretionary items, like booze and baccy; clothing; furniture; transport; recreation (bit less); hotels & restaurants (much more); miscellaneous. Enough of the whingeing! It could be that these breathless reports are just another way of keeping us uptight and dissatisfied. Posted by ttbn, Saturday, 3 August 2024 10:13:19 AM

And, that should have been in the "Rip off" thread put up by Nathan having a whinge.

"Is a "BLACK JOB" something like picking cotton? "
Oh dear, Paul gets his [mis]understanding of the real world by watching reruns of "Gone with the Wind". What a berk!! While Paul remains happily clueless, Americans listening to Trump would have completely understood his point. You'll note that when he said it, in a room for of BIPOCs, no one demurred - because they knew what he meant, even if morons like Paul remain clueless. For Paul's edification, there is a delineation of job types among the various racial groups. The delineation is fuzzy and not clear cut but people know what black jobs are. For example, according to the BLS, over 20% of blacks are employed in "Production, transport and materials moving" whereas 12.1& of whites are in those jobs. They are black jobs. OTOH percentage-wise, twice as many whites are involved in construction as blacks - they are white jobs. I'm sure Paul is already bamboozled by these numbers so I won't go on. The point is that, in the US context, people well know what are black jobs and white jobs even though it mystifies Paul. On a slightly broader point, its always funny to see how those who claim to be full-on multiculturalists haven't the faintest idea about how others think but assume every culture is the same as their own. So Paul doesn't know what the term black job means and thinks Trump just made it up. Its why he misunderstands so much. Posted by mhaze, Saturday, 3 August 2024 11:11:37 AM

You may be able to help me. I'm somewhat confused by your man Donald referring to "BLACK JOBS", and migrants taking these "BLACK JOBS". What do you believe is meant to by a "BLACK JOB", can you give examples. Just as a side, is there such a thing in America as "WHITE JOBS" and if so do you have examples of these "WHITE JOBS"?
Is a "BLACK JOB" something like picking cotton? AND is a "WHITE JOB" something like whipping those cotton pickers that don't pick cotton fast enough, down on the ole' plantation?
If DDD wins the election, maybe Donald devotees like you could migrate to the United State, and as a emigrant maybe Donald could line you up with one of those "BLACK JOBS" at the White House, isn't it fortunate that its not called the Black House. BTW if you do migrate to the US, I think you'll have to bring your own mop and bucket to get one of those "BLACK JOBS" from Donald.
