In the battle against black unemployment, places like the Opportunities Industrialization Center are ground zero.

Savory aromas wafted from a king-size kitchen one recent day as the instructor demonstrated a fish recipe to a dozen aspiring cooks. Nearby, a mock hotel room was waiting to be cleaned. Downstairs, electrical fixtures hung from an exposed wall, ready to be wired.

Here, the goal is "helping people help themselves" through literacy programs and training for hotel, clerical, building, retail and other jobs.

[dalebert]

they also need more money for those lower refinanced house payments they cant make without a job....stimulas in action..why are conservatives letting them get away with this blame bush stuff when the congress was controled by dems?

"Here, the goal is "helping people help themselves" through literacy programs..."

LOL!
Folks, just think about the above quote from the article
and all that it may imply.

[Red in Blue PA]

Since when do you need special training for hotel, clerical, building, and retail jobs????

Sounds like a govt grant was behind this.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Remember when Robert Reich was afraid that the stimulus money would go to “white male construction workers”?
He wanted the stimulus to be targeted to others, apparently.

This just kills me...these people had the same exposure to the educational system as I had growing up. What really makes a difference for all of us is an attitude and attendance at school and work that shows we are not just looking for a free ride. Try being dependable. That’s what I tell my kids stands out more than anything on a resume/job application.

[tobyhill]

It's basically calling black Americans dumb-asses.

[RGirard]

The real root of the problem is sin ... that’s why 70% of the minority children mentioned are born out of wedlock and need assistance

The FDA needs to rush approval on smart pills

[dalebert]

hahaha ya i remember the idiot

[ridesthemiles]

We have had all the special hiring rules this nation can stand.

Affirmative Action hiring got that current occupant of the Oval Office, and see what that has wrought!

[budwiesest]

So, public education isn’t all that it’s cracked-up to be? How many kazillions are we wasting on this fraud?

[grey_whiskers]

What should the punishment be for the education administrators in these parts of the country?

If you demand untold *billions* for your right to supply compulsory education, you *own* the results.

And results this abysmal are by definition the work of saboteurs.

I guess it is going to have to come down to white Americans suing for discrimination this in itself is discriminatory.

[Insigne123]

If white people sue for discrimination issues, the only money will have to come from their other pocket

[Clock King]

Black people need to study harder in high school, learn proper English, and good social skills. Quit playing around, acting all tough and angry, and quit sleeping around. Enough of this perpetual victim-hood.

"Folks, just think about the above quote from the article and all that it may imply."

Well...47% of the residents of New Orleans Cannot read or write. You know, that White people stuff.

[Aaron0617]

..there has been a 1.2 percent decline in the black labor force participation rate, more than any other group — which means that fewer blacks are even looking for work.

lol...that was hilarious. Thanks for posting. 'Not even looking for work', I will pass this around tomorrow. This from MSNBC??
