Race Gap: Blacks Fall Further Behind Under Obama

Black Americans have overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama in two presidential elections, but they have fallen further behind during his term in office, losing ground in measures of income, employment, and education.

The national unemployment rate has dropped to 7 percent, but the jobless rate for blacks has hardly moved since Obama took office, declining from 12.7 percent in 2009 to 12.5 percent, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report.

And while the recession impacted all race and age groups' earnings, blacks fared the worst.

They deserve it. They'll support the skin color no matter what harm he causes them.

unfortunately many blacks are clueless and followers of their race. they don't look at character, family values, history, and of course, results. they can't see the truth for what it is. so sad...

I believe skin color for most of us doesn't matter. what matters is what do they believe and what do they do...

We all need to see a vote ratio reflecting just who voted Obama into office.I personally have never seen a black/white/Hispanic/and otherwise breakdown of percentages.My guess is that white people elected him,which makes me seriously scrutinize the "they" word.

Quite ironic that a high percentage of Asians would vote for him. Guess they forgot the nightmare in which they came from.

Looks like only the white folk weren't fooled by the lies and rhetoric.

>>>Quite ironic that a high percentage of Asians would vote for him.<<< I'm not certain of Annies's source, but you have to wonder the definition of 'Asians'. In Europe, 'Asians' is how the politically-correct reference muslims.
