Another Mike Bloomberg sound byte is coming back to haunt the Democratic presidential candidate after a 2011 clip from when he was mayor of New York City has resurfaced in which he said "enormous cohorts" of young black and Latino men "don't know how to behave in the workplace where they have to work collaboratively and collectively."

Bloomberg on Black and Latino males between 16-25:

Presciently, The Onion joked that Bloomberg was "tracking poorly among 18- to 25-year-old African Americans," and "
hired thousands of canvassers Friday to stop black men on the street and force them to hear his campaign pitch."
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Bloomberg's past words have come back to haunt him.
Last week, the out-of-touch billionaire apologized to a black megachurch for his controversial "stop-and-frisk" program, saying "I was wrong. And I am sorry." The program was successful at reducing crime, however opponents felt it violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches despite a 1968 Supreme Court ruling that it does not.
On Friday, a former Bloomberg employee corroborated an accusation that he told a woman to "kill it" when she announced her pregnancy, according to the Washington Post.

Billionaire Bloomberg claims he "could teach anybody to be a farmer," even implying that farmers don't have the same level of "skillset" or "grey matter" as folks in tech jobs.

Maybe this is why ol' Mike doesn't want to debate?

I worked with a black guy. We both had the exact same birthdays.
One time he got busted and went to jail. A month later I got busted and went to jail.
WTF is up with that? :-/

I used to work with a black guy whose father was military, never had a single issue with him.

A good environment doesn't guarantee a good outcome, but it's so much better than a horrible 'hood environment for a child.

These blacks from west side of Chicago kidnapped a retarded boy from northwest suburbs and brought him to west side. They forced him to drink water from the toilet.
He escaped from them. The cops picked him up and he told them what happened. The cops went there and arrested them all and charged them with hate crimes and additional charges. ;)

An insightful posting there: Men in denim built our country.. Men in suits have destroyed it.
