When the latest unemployment numbers came out, I noted that despite the overall unemployment numbers “remained flat…unemployment for women and African-Americans rose.”
Women’s rose to 7.8 percent, which is about the national average.
Unemployment in the black community rose to an unbelievable 14 percent.
That’s almost double the national average.
I was curious why, so I looked around to see if there was a solid reason why black unemployment was in double digits and rising. I found people blaming cuts in public sector jobs as a leading reason. According to a Harvard study, black folks are 30% more likely to work in the public sector and because over 600,000 public sector jobs have been eliminated, it’s hit the black community extra hard.
Again I found myself asking “why?” Why are members of the black community 30% more likely to work in the public sector?
MSNBC went as far as to say it was because black people didn’t have the ties to corporate America like us white folks.
No, seriously:

Affirmative action has only served to admit inferiority.
Because most are liberals and have been brainwashed to belive the goverment will take care of them. They are slaves to the liberals.
Why work when Uncle Sam will pay you to stay home and drop one baby after another. The more babies the more help
could it possibly be because they don't qualify for the job. maybe their grades are lacking. perhaps they didn't pass the employers test. maybe they didn't dress properly for the interview or make a good impression during the interview. again; i don't care if you're purple, the above mentioned issues would apply to any color. get real. i employ many and have employed many in my extensive professional history. if the shoe fits, wear it.
Gee Joe that's funny. I guess 9:40 am wasn't "filter" or "blogger spam" material huh?
