How Obama Worsens Black Unemployment

On July 3, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate for black Americans is more than double that for white Americans: 10.7 percent versus 5.3 percent.

On Aug. 28, the Washington Post reported that the black unemployment rate has consistently been twice as high as the white unemployment rate for 50 years.

So why on earth is America’s first black president doing so much to impede black American employment by what was headlined in the Washington Post as: “President Defers Deportations for 4 Million, Challenges His Opponents”?

The Washington Times’ top headline was “Obama Offers Amnesty, Defies GOP,” under which were the following subheadlines:

“Illegals Get Pay Raise, Allowed to Compete for U.S. Jobs” and

“5 Million Illegals Declared Safe from Deportation, Must Work to Stay.”
