Black Americans who spent most of their lives working on Mississippi farms are suing their former employer after they were replaced by foreign workers on the H-2A visa program.The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, accuses Pitts Farms of laying off a number of black Americans, only to replace them with foreign visa workers from South Africa.The H-2A visa program allows U.S. farms to annually outsource an unlimited number of American jobs to foreign workers who can extend their stay for up to three years.

Just like the H1b program for tech. Import countless foreigners, replace Americans, and in time what were once American companies end up run by foreigners who only hire from their own race/country. But at least Bill Gates and his tech overlord pals at all the other tech companies get cheap labor who can't change jobs. What's good for Bill Gates is good for America!

"Real Africans are beating us out of a job." Mississippi is an at will employment state. Employers can hire and fire at will. No one is entitled to a lifetime job.

"It’s like being robbed of your heritage.”...Uhm.. what Heritage exactly? The concept of African-American heritage being stolen..by African-Africans? That would mean that you feel your AMERICAN heritage is being stolen...the Dems and Media define THAT as being "Racist". Welcome to the hypocrisy of the "Hyphen", if more Americans would think of themselves as simply "American" the better it is for ALL Americans. While in most cases foreigners get brought in and companies are blamed for paying them LESS, in this case they appear to be paying them MORE. (Unmentioned in this story is that the Africans being hired...happen to be mainly white, and are farmers who's lands have been taken over by Black Africans in their home country, it's a 'oppression index' conundrum)

I don't want to steal a meme from the estimable Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, but I gotta say, if ever there was a situation that embodies the activity of Nemesis replacing Hubris, this is it! The irony that blacks, whose undying loyalty to the democrat party is legendary are being replaced by their lighter-skinned brothers from "South of the Border, Down Mexico Way" is DELICIOUS! If only it would dawn on those blacks that they are nothing more to the democrats than PATSIES, but I have no confidence that they have sufficient collective intellect to recognize that. After all, their most prominent spokesmen are the likes of LeBron, Ta-Nehisi and Nikole Hannah-Jones, to name just a few. The total IQ among these three scholars, if it were translated to electrical watts would not be sufficient to illuminate a 15 watt bulb.

1980's. A small town in Georgia. Black community leaders complained that blacks weren't being hired to work in the dairy farms and that all the workers were Mexican. (This was before it became politically incorrect to complain about Mexican immigrants taking jobs.) The farmers explained that they hired 95% black and 5% Mexican. But the blacks quit after a few short months while the Mexicans stayed on for years, often decades. Continuing to hire at 95% black and 5% Mexican it only takes a few short years for all the short term blacks to be replaced by long term Mexicans. That conversion of the racial makeup of the dairy workers was due entirely to employment choices made by the individual workers. One of the farmers indicated that over the years he had hired virtually every black male in town including the very community leader that was leading the complaints.

Blacks are the most solid Demon-Rat voting block. 90% or better in many elections. Yet the Demon-Rats could care less about blacks. They prove that over and over again. Blacks are just photo-op props for Demon-Rat candidates. They just want to keep them on the Demon-Rat welfare plantation, where they are so dependent on the government that they will continue to vote for Demon-Rats in every election. It's that simple. Under President Trump, black unemployment hit record lows, while black employment and earning hit record highs. So the blacks "rewarded" him by voting in massive numbers for Lyin' Joe biden, who brought back record high black unemployment and record low employment and earnings -- all in less than a year.

They were and are fools. For years we have been telling them were being used every 4 years. It was the dems that were the KKK and wrote the Jim Crow laws. The dems voted against the 13, 14 and 15 amendments giving black's the right to vote and making them citizens. Dems to this day run the inner cities like plantations keeping the black people in failing schools and terrible housing and always violence and no hope of advancement unless you can break out. Still they vote dem every time. Now Joey has brought in the illegals and is going to pay them, with our tax dollars, to vote dem forever. Joe no longer needs the blacks as a voting block so will no longer pander to them.

The H-2A and H-2B visa program visa programs should be stopped or at least the rules should be enforced. They are only supposed to be used when American workers can't be found. They also drive wages down mostly for those that are on the lower end.

Unintended consequences: South Africa is a country where Critical Race Theory is really promulgated, and so white South Africans are leaving the country in droves. Their farms are being appropriated by black South Africans, forcing them to migrate to countries in Europe and to the United States so they can find employment.

Landrieu, who led New Orleans from 2010 to 2018, was also a lieutenant governor for Louisiana. The White House said they chose him because of his experience leading the city, as well as for his relationships with leaders at both state and municipal levels. Landrieu will be helping to supervise and coordinate the infrastructure bill by working through the National Economic Council.

Months of work on the document, by the conference’s Committee on Doctrine, coincided with sometimes heated debate among the bishops as to whether Biden and other Catholic politicians who support abortion rights are unworthy of receiving Communion.A draft of the document circulating ahead of the Nov. 15-18 meeting in Baltimore breaks little new ground,

Reps Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) are seeking criminal charges on Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after he failed to appear before their sham January 6 Committee. The Marxists on the January 6 Committee issued Meadows a subpoena because he was with Trump on January 6. Meadows, like Bannon, defied the subpoena and was instructed by Trump to “respect long-standing principles of executive privilege.” “Mr. Meadows’s actions today—choosing to defy the law—will force the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt or other proceedings to enforce the subpoena,” Thompson and Cheney, vice chair of the sham panel, said in a statement Friday.
