Women been through a lot, but why they got to be the niggers of the world? Why not just slaves of the world? Or most oppressed of the world? Or many other whatevers of the world.

Juan Romero, Who Aided a Dying Robert Kennedy, Is Dead at 68

Juan Romero, the hotel busboy who came to the aid of Senator Robert F. Kennedy when he was shot in Los Angeles in 1968, died on Monday in Modesto, Calif. He was 68.
His longtime friend Rigo Chacon, a television newsman, told The Los Angeles Times that Mr. Romero had apparently had a heart attack several days earlier.
Mr. Romero was a teenage busboy working in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in June 1968 when Kennedy, moments after giving a victory speech in the California Democratic primary, came walking through and was shot in the head by an assassin.
Mr. Romero rushed to Kennedy and held him as he lay on the floor mortally wounded. Mr. Romero later said he had struggled to keep the senator’s head from hitting the floor.The moment, captured on film, haunted him for years. Kennedy had stopped to shake his hand seconds before he was shot, and Mr. Romero wondered if he could have done something to prevent the shooting, he said.
But he eventually said that he no longer felt guilty, thanks in part to Kennedy supporters who said that he, as a Mexican-American, was an example of the kind of people Kennedy had sought to help in making racial equality and civil rights a cornerstone of his life’s work.

Born in the small town of Mazatán in the Mexican state of Sonora, Mr. Romero moved to Baja California and then to the United States when he was 10. His family lived in East Los Angeles, and he attended Roosevelt High School the year Chicano students started organizing walkouts to protest discrimination against Mexican-Americans.
Mr. Romero said he had feared he would face trouble at home if he took part in the protests; his stepfather, he said, had “ruled with an iron hand.” Instead, he got a job at the Ambassador, initially as a dishwasher.
Mr. Romero met Kennedy the day before the California primary, when the senator and his aides ordered room service at the hotel. Mr. Romero was on duty and went into the room with other busboys. Kennedy shook his hand there, too, he said.
Voters went to the polls the next day, and that night Kennedy thanked a crowd of supporters in the hotel’s Embassy Room before leaving by way of the nearby kitchen.
News photographers took pictures of Mr. Romero next to the bloodied Kennedy — images that would be seen all over the world.
“Is everybody O.K.?” Kennedy said after he was shot. Yes, Mr. Romero said he replied before Kennedy lost consciousness. He said he put a rosary in the senator’s hand.
Kennedy was pronounced dead at a hospital hours later. He was 42.
The gunman, Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship, said in his trial that he had shot Kennedy over the senator’s support for Israel. Now 74, Mr. Sirhan is serving a life sentence in a California prison.

With 8 Years of Job Gains, Unemployment Is Lowest Since 1969
The Labor Department released its official hiring and unemployment figures for September on Friday, providing the latest snapshot of the American economy.
The Numbers
■ 134,000 jobs were added last month. Wall Street economists had expected an increase of about 168,000, according to MarketWatch.
■ The unemployment rate was 3.7 percent, the lowest since 1969.
■ Average earnings rose by 8 cents an hour and are up 2.8 percent over the past year.
■ Hiring figures for July and August were revised up by a combined 87,000 jobs.
An eight-year recovery makes the labor market tight.
The unemployment rate fell to a nearly five-decade low in September, punctuating a remarkable rebound in ten years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers set off a global financial crisis.
