Hope and Change: Employment Rate Among Black Men Lowest Ever Recorded…
If there was a Republican in office the MSM/left would be ranting about how “racist” his policies are as evident by stats like this.
(Yahoo! News) — If the election of America’s first African-American president was expected to give blacks an economic boost, it hasn’t emerged yet. Indeed, the percentage of African-American men with a job has dropped to its lowest level since records began in 1972, according to the government’s monthly jobs report released last week.
Even as the economy added a better-than-expected 244,000 jobs, the percentage of black males over 20 who are currently employed dropped slightly to 56.9, the Labor Department’s April report shows. For whites, the equivalent figure is 68.1 percent.
Before this recession, the percentage of black adult men with a job had never dropped below 60 percent, according to Labor Department statistics.
And among blacks, it’s not just men who are suffering. Just 51.5 percent of African-Americans across the board — compared to 59.5 percent of whites — have a job, the numbers show. That’s the lowest level for blacks since 1984. (That group includes 16- to 19-year-olds, who are employed at a far lower rate than their elders.)

Yeah. Like they want JOBS!
Right.
The Mass hiring at McDonald’s hasn’t had time to cycle into the numbers yet.
Sarc/
And when they do have a job all they want to do is golf, party and play hoops.
Agree with Mr. Galt. Under barry, blacks don’t need to work. And they all know it.
If he forces them all out of work and onto the dole, he will have complete control over them. They will be dependent on government largesse. If the Republicans get in, oshitter can then blame them when they want to cut benefits. Or threaten that if blacks don’t vote for him, the Republicans will cut off their dole(as it were;) and all their benefits!!
Just taking care of “his people”!!!
We all know Barrie is poison – to everyone, some feel more quickly than others, but everyone loses. Problem is how do we get that information to sink in with the responsible blacks?

Laura Ingraham interviewed a very powerful and influential black businessman, Harry Alford, the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce .. Harry slams Obama .. he says Obama will not get 35% of the black vote .. Laura spoke with Harry about setting up a meeting between him and Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court .. this is encouraging …
The responsible blacks in America are not enthralled with Obama, they realize it was a mistake for America … watch this.
If you switched the words around, some of these folks could make use of Obama’s banner. (“We Need Change.”)
Doesn’t that sing look like what Yoda would hold up on a street corner, if he was homeless?
Funny and sad. Oh well, you get what you pay for…
Meanwhile..the black folks still smitten with this two bit hustler bemoan ” it’s not the brutha’s fault, it was that white man Bush who done this , he fukked up the economy and this brutha is doing all he can and these white racists won’t get off the brutha’s back.., they are even on his ass ’bout the brutha rapper at the WH..just gimme a general assistance check and some food stamps..”
Hey crackers chill. It ain’t brother Barry’s fault, it’s da man’s fault. He still tryin’ and jist needs time to give us hope and change. We still be all behind him cause he’s takin care of us wid the welfare, food stamps, and all dose visits to da hood he done make wid his fine, baby got back First Bitch. We still gonna support him in 2012 wid at least 95% of our racist vote even though he is the worst thing that ever happened to the black community both culturally and economically. By da way where is all these African Americans they keep referring to cause most of us black people where born here in America and never have been to Africa. Must be da man tryin’ to run some game on us again!
So I guess that this is a good time to start forcing banks to give out more loans to African American’s who can’t come up with a down payment?
Every black I know would fight for him to the death. They know he’s a loser, but color trumps EVERYTHING. Not buyin’ Laura’s rap.
I would like to see the Federal statistics on employment to see the breakdown on numbers of Blacks, Hispanics and Whites that are now holding Federal jobs.
Hey, the SFNBWIC is half white! He doesn’t give a shit about blacks being out of work. He wants their votes and will get them. Even though the SFNBWIC is half white.

Agree with Mr. Galt. Under barry BAMSTAHHHHH!!!!! YOU DA MAN BAM !!!!! BARRY BAMSTAHHHH!!!YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
In 2012, we need to add one more to that list.
Blacks will follow their MESSiah to the end. He will use and abuse them to get what he wants. Blacks will continue to allow themselves to be divided and conquered because those that live in large ghettos think that it will benefit them in the long run.
Illegal aliens occupied 8 million jobs in 2008 according to Pew Hispanic. Today’s number is probably not very different.
If universal E-verify were implemented, it would be the best single thing to alleviate black unemployment, as well as the joblessness afflicting many low-skilled Americans.
But Obama knows blacks are loyal to a fault, so he screws them at length with his hispandering, demonstrated in El Paso yesterday.
Ahhhhhhhhh…………………..
doesn’t all that……..
Hope and Change……..
make you feel all good inside……….
WHILE YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A FREAKING JOB.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We’ll finish the job in 2012.
Black people are all too happy to stay on Massa Barry’s plantation. Massa Barry and Massa Eric are gonna take care of “their” people, get them sub-prime loans cookin’ again, mock those racist teabaggers, hell, might as well give amnesty so there’ll be millions more to compete for potential jobs for blacks.
How ironic ; )
I’ll not stop saying that a Communist cannot create jobs.
It’s not too likely that large numbers of blacks will abandon Zero, but with problems like this, it could be a larger number than expected. Reagan got 14 % of the black vote one election (1st against Jimmah, I think), even though only 7% admitted it to pollsters. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that much loss to Zero in 2012.
This is his plan, he will let them starve and then pay them to be in his civilian army for the uprising.
And yes, it is sad that race comes before all else including the ability to think for yourself.
Black men…. slide towards the “stash” Obama flashes. They need him
more than he needs them. Remember…for unknown reasons Jews love
the guy. Hispanics await amnesty or promise thereof. Idiots are enthralled
by his rhetoric, and the MSM strokes his knob daily. Black men may
feel they are “not on the list” of priorities, and a few of the bravest will
actually speak out against him…..but he “gots dere vote” when the election
eventuates. Bam has stiffed “da man”….and that, in the end, is all
that angry black men want….plus a little crack…and a white gal to
rough up.
Barry this is the accomplishment you can be proud of, and they will
follow you all the way to the gas chamber, well at least you have done
them proud……
We are surrounded by idiots and they are so proud….Mission almost in
your grasp there Barry, keep them hungary, homeless, jobless and effing
confused and you got them eating out of your hands……
America needs a literacy test before the people is given the pleasure to
vote in our soceity if we are to become the great nation our founders
intended her to be…….Truly this will never happen for we have to many
who hate America and will never allow her to display greatness again…..
Stupid f***ers.
@bitterclinger
Seems you are not checking the facts, but responding with pure emotion..
We’re not talking about Laura’s anythihing, we’re talking about Harry Alford,the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce ..
So to come back and say you are not buying Laura’s ‘rap’ is bullshit, you’re not looking at the facts..
You better wake up .. you’re just being stupid.
I agree that blacks will still vote for their Obamessiah. It doesn’t matter about unemployment–they will get the dole. AND WHITEY -YOU AND I WILL PAY. Its called reparations for slavery. Never mind that the brothers will now turn to Islam and crime. WHY is it that the 2 so often go together?
Well DUH!
Most of them can’t even speak proper English despite being born here, and are
proud of it.
They wear clown pants with the crotch at their knees and their asscrack hanging out.
They have no math or writing skills.
And a shitty attitude to boot.
When obama said “change we need”, he literally meant “we” as in a very select few at the top….
Besides in New Jersey, why should they work…hell, our stupid state gives rental assistance, food stamps, TV or computers if you have a kid in school (for cultural reasons!?), car insurance assistance….and I don’t even know what else….other than a number of homeless peole have cell phones……
We suffer the ignominy of having some really hard working people in NJ white, black, Asian, Indian and Hispanic…but at the same time we have that permanent underclass of blacks and Hispanics that won’t work, can’t seem to put together a sentence and feel like everything is owed to them….and they disgrace the rest of their people and fellow citizens in the process.
Put them to work on the border keeping the wet backs out
