Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Quickly expanding Latino population is having a healthy impact

[LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.

Quote:
The quickly expanding Latino population is having a healthy impact on the economy, according to Ken Gronbach, author of "The Age Curve: How to Profit from the Growing Demographic Trend." "Latinos have saved our country," he said. "They represent 14 percent of the population but 25 percent of the live births. The United States is the only western industrialized nation with a fertility rate above the 2.2 percent replacement rate." Growth of other minority groups is also outpacing that of the majority population. Asians, the second-fastest growing group, increased 2.7 percent year-over-year to 15.5 million. The African-American population rose 1.3 percent to 41.1 million.

Quote:
Morrissey said estimates of deficits in the pool's finances were reduced last year when a Social Security advisory board's technical panel revised some unrealistically low assumptions it had made about Latino immigration. "They took into account people without papers [paying into Social Security] but not accessing funds from there," she said. "That's bad for workers but very good for Social Security." The most Latino county in the nation was Los Angeles, with 4.7 million people. Latinos accounted for nearly half the population there and increased 67,000 during the 12 months ended July 1, the most of any county. The Rio Grande border county of Starr, Texas, has the highest proportion of Latino residents: 98 percent. California leads all states in the number of Latinos, with a population of 13.5 million, an increase of 313,000 in just one year. New Mexico, appropriately, has the highest percentage of Latinos: 45 percent. New York State has the greatest number of African-Americans -- 3.5 million -- while the District of Columbia and Mississippi have the highest percentages, at 56 percent and 38 percent respectively. In terms of counties, Cook County, Ill. (Chicago) leads all others with 1.4 million African Americans, while Claiborne County, Miss., had the highest percentage at 84 percent. More than 5 million Asians live in California, more than in any other state; Hawaii has the highest percentage of Asians at 54 percent. It's the only majority-Asian state in the nation. Los Angeles County is home to 12.4 million Asians, the most of any county. Honolulu, with 58 percent, had the highest proportion. More Pacific Islanders (283,000) and native Americans (739,000) lived in California than any other state.
This should silence the few conservatives or racists who think a black President means blacks are taking over America. :lmao: Statistically, nothing could be further from the truth.

Why is everything about race with you....can't we just dislike Oblahblah because of his politics? You need to try viewing things from a different perspective....it's not about race.

Because when it all boils down, LIBS offer nothing, bring nothing to the table and are constitutionally incapable of anything other than throwing out the race card.
I have said it time and again.
They have supported my claims time after time.

Well what i really want to say my get me booted from here so instead of what I really wanted to say I won't. But its true anyone with color other than White, use the race card more often than we do.. If we did that, then we would be considered racist.

Using the race card for the sake of using it is racist!


And you would be, just as they are!

Blacks only account for roughly 12% of the total population.....What i would be concerned with is just like that one Black comic said... Blacks and Whites should stick together because they're the only ones who speak English.....


BTW...I have to remind people once again...Hispanic is not, let me repeat IS NOT a race.....
There are White Hispanics and Black Hispanics....There are even Asian Hispanics too.....It is a culture.......
Believing that Hispanics are a race is like believing Rednecks are race too....
