THEN THEY. Need to get a skill set that is in accordance with the times or they will be left behind? Why are we being empathetic for this group but not others.
Isn't they how our economic system is supposed to works? Isn't this the freest and truest economic system
The world has ever seen? Let their creation work on them--- they are at its mercy too if they refuse to evolve

I'd appreciate some citation on when this occurred with regularity.
It hasn't, but in many cases quotas for minorities has, especially with gubment jobs.
Just take a look by % at each race by population and gender and then see how many gubment jobs are held by them by gender % vs population %.

A lot of Louisiana's problems are in the NOLA metro area which has been controlled by dems for a very long time.
If you removed that metro area from the statistics LA wouldn't seem so awful.

I forgot, skilless and job handout needy lower middle class whites are the only group that deserves economic empathy.
What a farce. These people want a job given to them. Go make a way

So basically you're pulling this from your arse and the litany of excuses you've made for others.

You're stuck between a rock and a hard place eh? You might as well go full blown lefty taking into account your criticism of Trump and his supporters.
You have become the post-election CB58. Congrats.

Screwy logic?
Name me one reason why companies should pay skilless people high wages? It is in direct opposition to a free enterprise system?
These people bring up race and lament on other groups passing them up...and I can't comment on the potential reasons why? Are they scared that they aren't the racial top dogs anymkre or that they actually have to compete in a global market now? Get your head out of your rural village and compete.
COMPETE. Stop asking trump or the govt to bail you out. That's a very democratic, welfare queenish thing to do

It's funny, they actually had reasons for why they were oppressed.

Dude, they are willing to compete, they just don't want others to get advantages in the competition and they don't care about what happened decades ago. Now they see signs with "minorities STRONGLY encouraged to apply" and they aint dumb, they know what that means.
I don't blame them and I am as left as you can get.

I'm a conservative white male and I'd be damned if I raised my sons to think they are owed things like these lazy hacks. They are entitled. The world is passing hem by and it will never stop for them. Human history is pretty firm on that.
They can keep lamenting in their small towns and they do NOTHING to Better themselves

I've seen numerous examples in person and on TV of folks getting free stuff and loading it into their brand new vehicles, using their smart phones, dressed very nice, etc. Christmas is one of the prime times of the year to witness it.
The same type of people that go from church to church begging for money when they don't really need it.

You are getting downvotes for being ignorant, yv. The 1950s (White) folk that you disparage as prospering in a rigged system as opposed to being virtuous and hard-working PRODUCERS...are the same folk that survived the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima. I knew em'...they raised me, and would and do scoff at the entitlement-minded and damn-America mindsets of today's sanctimonious ideological critics/SJW crusaders who have never sacrificed ANYTHING for the benefit of this Nation. Nor likely produced in a FAIR and common-standard/non-discriminatory competition either.
Lies only cover for the consequences of misguided idealist and ignorant policy for so long. Ignorance will always have excuses...and victims as well.

frick you, on every possible personal level. You speak like someone who has never had to watch your father get fired because they could hire an illegal off the books for $5 an hour.

Nah the beauty of our free market system, once we pull it from the chains of race castes, says those jobs shouldn't be paid wellfor their shittiness. If you want a good job, go earn it and go get a disintinguishable skill where you can market yourself as rare and useful in our economy
This is great, and I agree with personal responsibility.
But there a millions of good people in this country with personal responsibility who would be doing much better if they had good government. Instead, we have a corrupt government in debt for essentially nothing, and no jobs because those jobs are sold to illegal immigrants, sent overseas, or work visas, at the expenses of the people to the benefit of the elite. We need an educational revolution in this country to help help prepare people for the Technology Revolution, but universities are using government money as a crutch to avoid the pain and needed self changes to make this happen. While people watch the government now try to do the same thing with healthcare, crippling it with government control.

Thought provoking article, but I think it misses the boat on a lot of the dynamics that shape Louisiana. Thing is, it still remains one of the best places for the marginally educated to gain skills and actually earn a rather decent living with such skills. It, however, is also still burdened with a huge class of individuals who are too dysfunctional to do even that.
The author tries to statistically dump the two dynamics together, while screaming tired old narratives about things like "cancer alley" -- which is actually the main thing allowing those marginally educated to be as successful as they can possibly be.
Predictably, the usual caricatures (alters or otherwise) come in missing the boat many times more than even the out of state author.
Thanks for posting, though.
