The jobless rate for Blacks ages 16 and older hovered at 15.4
percent last month, according to new data from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, nearly the same as May when Black unemployment hit
an all- time high of 15.5 percent.

So what's yer point? The "jobless rate for Blacks ages 16 and older" has
ALWAYS been very high, nothing new at all. It may have gone up a bit due
to Bush's Depression, but the unemployment rate for EVERYONE of ALL
races has gone up because of the Depression.

“The economic crisis has created an enormous hole in the American
labor market with a particularly devastating impact on Black
workers,” says Arlene Holt Baker, vice president of the AFL-CIO, in a
UC Berkeley press release.

True statement. Blacks have -always- been underemployed since the Civil
War, under *either* political party. So again, what's yer point?

What is curious is the widespread silence about this damning and
lamentable fact. Mr. Obama, much praised for his blackness, has
probably kicked more black people out of work...

Huh? "Kicked them out of work"? *MANY* people of all racial persuasions
are out of work due to Bush's Great Depression. Obama has tried to
remedy this with his make-work, "shovel ready" jobs.

Oh...sorry, I forgot. If Obama does nothing, you bitch. If he tries to
make jobs, you -still- bitch.

Just be a man and admit that you are a racist -- *whatever* Obama does,
in your eyes it will be wrong.

BTW, the cleaners called and said your robe and hood are ready.
