Black unemployment has spiked to 16.7 percent, its highest level since 1984. Cut that number in half and you have almost arrived to the white unemployment rate (8 percent). But is the Congressional Black Caucus passing any blame to the President who oversees such high unemployment numbers? Not really.
Indeed, the CBC says unemployment for African-Americans is "unconscionable," but they neglect to pass any criticism toward Obama. I think it's pretty obvious why - he's black and he's a Democrat. CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver, in a way, provides admittance for such inaction:
As chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, [Cleaver] has been at odds with President Barack Obama over his administration’s response to the soaring unemployment rate in the African-American community.Nearing 17 percent, joblessness among blacks is at a three-decade high and almost twice the size of the overall unemployment rate. The black caucus wants the president to do more.
But the group’s efforts are freighted with political sensitivities, given Obama’s unique role as the first African-American occupant of the White House and the sometimes untethered animosity that his election has triggered.
“If (former President) Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver said. “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”
Translation: We are providing deferential treatment to Obama precisely because he's black.
In his "I Had a Dream Speech," Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
21st Century Edited Version: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where [the President of the United States] will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their [policies and economic performance]."
The left is in a state of collapse on a few fronts. Still dangerous but facing some real struggles from within.
Even John Conyers is facing a challenge in his redrawn district.
“Indeed, the CBC says unemployment for African-Americans is “unconscionable,””.....”

And the fault for that lies, not with white Americasn or even the RaceMarxist himself, but 100% at the feet of the INDIVIDUAL blacks involved.
Personal Responsibility 101.
The CBC is confident that, in a second term or a lame duck period, O will discard any pretense of evenhandedness.
Yet another self inflicted wound by and for blacks in America.
I lack sympathy.
“Yet they still support runaway illegal immigration.”

Indeed.
They are counting on the reliable Democrat voting of the OTHER openly racist “persons of color”, to keep them in power.
That is CLEARLY after all, despite the lip service about causes and “social justice”, Priority One.
I refuse to believe that any of the far-left criticism is anything less than Kabuki theater. These people are rooting for Obama but are willing to act as if they are disappointed that he isn’t even MORE far-left. It’s theater. We all know darn well that these people will NEVER, ever vote for an opponent to Obama. It’s all meant to somehow show that he’s not the far-left Marxist that has been in the WH. FUBO.
"Nope, all that's wrong is that REPUBLICANS are in charge of everything, including the news media, banking, stock trading, the courts, the bureaucracy, and through their obstructionism, the Congress itself (both houses). And of course, all businesses are sitting on the sidelines, laughing while the unemployed starve, and refusing to hire anyone until after President Barack Obama has been forced from office. The truth is, rich whites, particularly Jews and Christians, are not carrying their fair share of the load."
“REPUBLICANS are in charge of everything, including the news media, banking, stock trading, the courts, the bureaucracy, and through their obstructionism, the Congress itself “
You forgot to include the take over of “ATAAAAAACKWAAAAAAATCH”!
