Young Blacks Face Unemployment Rates More Than Triple the National Average

That's because we don't listen to dixie in our neighborhood while we salute the rebel flag.

john black - Perhaps that attitude is why so many blacks are unemployed. In your face tude doesn't work when you are the one asking for a job.
If young people of any race are having trouble finding a job, I suggest the military, it's pulled a lot of us up by our bootstraps.

I am puzzled why voting patterns in predominantly-black districts are so consistently and overwhelmingly Democrat, when it is abundantly clear after more than half a century of Democratic domination of urban politics, people of color have been kept more dependent than ever on handouts. True progress will come when small businesses can operate in urban communities, operated and owned by local residents and providing payrolls to be taxed.
But that's not allowed on the ACORN plantation, I guess.

Another reason why Blacks don't have jobs is because of money grubbing company owners. Let's go back about say 25 years. When illegal migrant workers started coming across the border. The greedy business owners saw a chance to get cheap labor. So gradually they started hiring them. After all they could pay them below minimum wage no benefits and save a bundle. Gradually more and more companies started doing this. Now 25 years later you got more illegals over here than you care to count. If you had never given them a job in the first place do you think we would have this many of them over here now? No because they are not lazy or stupid. They are going to go where the work is. If there were no jobs here they wouldn't be here in the first place. And now you are saying that it is wrong for them to have health care. Well on that I agree with you. And there are no provisions in this health care bill that allows this. But greedy companies created this mess and now they have to live with it. But while you thought you were working them they were also working you. By having children knowing that they would be naturalize citizens free of deportation. I guess yawl didn't think that far ahead So now they are all over here with kids they have to take care of too. I am not opposed to anybody working because they have families to support just like you and me. But it is these greedy business owners that are solely responsible for this problem.

Yes, you've made you position and response quite clear. Elequently put. Who would want someone like you representing their business to the public.

You have it all backwards,ask the fire fighters who passed exam but could not get pay raises and promotions because no blacks passed.

You are very narrow minded. Why is it that people like you believe that all people out of a job and Black people on welfare are shiftless lazy and stupid? There are young people in my area right now that are responsible people who really and sincerely trying hard to make a decent life for themselves. Contrary to what you want to believe not all Black people in this group are like that.
