My neighbor across the street just had his tile roof replaced. One morning early, I heard some commotion going on outside, and they had just dropped off a large trash bin in the driveway. When I leave for work, there are 20-25 Central Americans on the roof tearing off the tile roof. I think the temperature was 95 during that day. When I get home the roof is stripped bare. The next morning I go outside to leave for work, and the same workers are on the roof installing the new tiles. When I get home they are sitting in the front yard eating watermelon, the new roof complete. I don't think you could find many US-born citizens who would or could do the work in 95-degree heat in two days. I have no idea if they were legal, but they worked their asses off. blacks and whites did that job for decades, no problem, put kids thru college,paid mortgages,it was a good paying job 25 years ago, then the scumbag piece of shit WHITE business owners started hiring illegals for 7.00 a hour instead of paying leroy and bubba 18.00. companies that use illegal immigrants just so they can make a extra buck without hiring a american citizen first should have there business burned down,,trucks destroyed,then thrown in jail for 5 years . whats the name of this roofing company i need a estimate. There are now easier jobs that pay better. One of my old employees is now a CNA earning more money and got his certificate in less than 3 months. He worked in warehouses before that. Now he makes more money and works in the air conditioning taking care of the elderly. Why would he want to work on a hot roof for the same pay? You could lots of things in the "good old days" you can't do today.

That would depend on the Haitian and Central American, wouldn't it?

Bahamians and even Jamaicans don't like the Haitians. Yep, when I was in the Abacos a few months ago my black cab driver stated how much the native Bahamians disliked the Haitians. They don’t look at skin color over there as much as we do over here. In other words, they don’t play the race card and stand by people that they disagree with even if they are of the same race.

A former FSer hired one and already had a Bahamian working for him. He thought he'd out the Haitian in the same room as the Bahamian.....it didn't work out that way. Matter of fact the Bahamian said he wasn't rooming with him.....except he used more colorful language

I went to Haiti for almost a month in the summer of 1984.... My Grandparent's church did a mission trip to dig and create clean water infrastructures in some wells in some rural communities. My Granddaddy loaded all in... Paid well drillers, quality drilling rigs shipped over... I went because Granddaddy was going....
It was a great and EYE OPENING experience.....
there are some fine fine people there... And something I learned in 1984... I am still sure they feel the same.... The Good People of Haiti want to get out....

i understand making them yourself but where would you order them already cooked ready to eat, Hip Hop in Thomasville, Ga has good livers and gizzards. You can get 1lb with fries and slaw for $7.99. There is also a good liver/gizzard place in Quitman, Ga called Carters.
