On Congress reviews Big Three survival plans
Posted on December 3 at 10:18 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Too bad congress didn't put wallstreet through the ringer like they are the big 3. Wonder if that is a blue color vs. white color and/or union vs. non-union issue.
I don't remember A.I.G. being treated this way.

bkrkim,
Why wouldn't the gazette deny posting your "white power racism?"
"as the gazette and other enities try to deny my right to white power rasism..."

I just want to apologize for how poorly written my previous post is. I was very distracted...the points are made but the writing/spelling = horrible.

Hey Woodsman, you forgot about Native Americans. Can they still identify themselves as that or should they just go back home?
It is easy for a White European to say this because of of their culture has been adopted and accepted here. For someone who is told to go home because they offere hispanic cuisine or someone who had a realitive killed for wanting to vote, or someone who continues to attend racially segregated schools this isn't so different.
The American culture is unique and complicated because we accept and identify all the different cultures in this country. To tell someone, especially a recent immigrant or someone who has experienced racism, to not identify their heritage is insentive and ignorant. For years, after the white europeans they identified themselves as german, english or irish.
We need to remember not every family has been established and has 200+ years to assimilate to this culture.

I know it is all PC to say we don't care about race and when it comes down to it, in an emergency, we probably don't.
The idea of JPD recruiting more minorities is a good one. As color blind as we all want to be and all should be having a police force that represents the diversity of the community is a good idea.
Obviously, no one wants underqualified people hired but sometimes perception is reality and as this community becomes more diverse so should are workforce (JPD, JSD, JFD, etc...)
Again, read the racist comments written in Sunday's sound-off regarding the different restraunts in Janesville. Someone, actually told the hispanics to go home if they want hispanic cuisine. How ignorant can someone be? They are home, just like myself who sometimes enjoys italian food - should I also go home?
Like I said, perception is reality, diverse community but little diversity in the police force, fire department, school district employees...spells racism.

Wonder what the gazette staff saw that was so offensive as to be removed. After the Sunday sound-off it would seem anything racist is fair game.
I can't believe some of the racist ignorance printed in the gazette on a weekly basis.

If we, the residents, aren't willing to invest in Janesville or Beloit why would a business want to invest in Janesville or Beloit?
Just asking.

On UAW OKs concessions

10% of the cost of a car goes to the salary of the person making the car.
50% of the cost of the car goes to the cost of parts
40% of the cost of the car goes to ???
The corporation... CEO's private planes, lunchrooms, golf outings, etc...
Obviously some of the 40% goes to advertising, perhaps shipping the cars but think about the salaries of the CEO's and how much goes/went to them.
Stop blaming the UAW for this issue. Management screwed up and now management is screwing them - the union worker/retiree.
Pathetic.
