Farrakhan's take is interesting, but it doesn't quite fly with me. Yes, immigrants tend to do more menial labor type jobs, and all Americans strive to be blue and white collar workers. But the tone of Fox's comment is what is problematic. His words suggest that menial labor is solely the arena of Black folks in this nation; and that, in some way, there is something demeaning in the work so that it is only fit for Black folks and now Mexicans. If I were Mexican, I think his comments would have been offensive to me too.
I do agree, however, that there are bigger fish to fry and that much of this is distraction for the purposes of division.
