But, but, but...how could this be
Everyone knows Bush is against Blacks?

George W. Bush is laying a claim to be the President who did the best job creating jobs for blacks. Currently, black unemployment is 9.4%, which is significantly lower than the 10% it averaged in the Clinton years. The current rate is also much lower than the average black unemployment rate over the past 30 years, which is 12.4%.

won't matter to Mr Spike.(L).. everyone knows Bush wants to kill African Americans...
So is Daschle saddened, deeply saddened??
That's why he wants them to work their asses off, whereas Dems like to have them laying about idle.
Bush's fault.
Well, this is proof that Bush IS against blacks. Making more of them get up in the morning and work for slave wages at WalMart!
Won't change a thing. Perception is reality. I've got a story on my links page that says that pretty much the same thing happenned under Reagan. How is he treated by libs?
Cute little article, and excellent point made by Jerry.
He's also a talk-show host, drive time, WORD, in Pittsburgh.
Of course, the hideous number behind these statistics is the teen black unemployment rate which is in the 20s consistently thanks to the minimum wage.
Let's not exaggerate... it's the right direction but 6/10ths of a percent in 6 years is not the tide coming in.
For once, "it's Bushes' fault" rings true.
Did you get the memo? George Bush hates black people.
but.. but isn't GW hateful of blacks? he hates black people!
Let's not exaggerate... it's the right direction but 6/10ths of a percent in 6 years is not the tide coming in.
Do these numbers also include the number of humans, of any color, who won't work no matter whether a (D) or a (R) is president?
Anybody will work if the other choice is starvation.
Thank God Uncle Sam has provided a large enough safety net to eliminate that possibility.
Sorry, but I meant to post that the black teen unemployment rate is in the low 30s.
The SPREAD between white and black teens is almost 20 points.
Remember...if you are not seeking employment, you are not unemployed. (just envisioning the DU Response) This stat is not a surprise...Larry Elder talks all the time about how blacks historically have higher wages, more employment and more instances of home ownership under Republican presidents. He is always making the point that the racist entitlement programs that are always pitched by the left do nothing to really help out blacks. Instead, they increase their dependance on the government and erode their self reliance. He also talks about how the Republican party has historically done more to advance the cause of minorities than Byrd and the clan ever did. Aside from the obvious abolishment of slavery brought about by conservative religious leaders and Lincoln, they also founded the NAACP (look it up). Meanwhile, the Democrats were passing Jim Crow laws and Byrd was busy filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 80 some odd days. I just don't get how minorities can identify themselves with a party that has been on the wrong side of every issue that would seem to be in their best interest for the last 200 years. Can conservatives count on the minority vote by simply promising free health care and a raise in the minimum wage every election cycle? If I was a minority I would be offended by this last statement, but for some reason the Democrats have been able to use this carrot for years now with great success. Can some one please tell me why?
Because George Bush hates black people. (Sarcasm ON)
