My neighbor's wife elected her husband's job executioner.

In you opinion, what are the odds that she sees this, renounces the administration and votes GOP going forward?

[Smokin' Joe]

Pretty close. If I had to lay off someone because of the anticipated increases in expenses, health care "tax", or other reason, and all else was equal, I'd see who had what bumper sticker on their vehicle...

Ovoters would lose out.

If I had to guess a demographic which voted disproportionately for Duh Won, I'd say some chickens are coming home to roost.

Actually, since Africa is a continent, and not a country, would it not be more correct to refer to the ancestors of prior slaves as,”African North Americans”.

Great post!

Yo, you is cracker-amerikan...

I prefer to be called a Saltine-American.

I doubt those stats even reflect reality. I wouldn’t be suprised if black male unemployment is actually around 40%.

[flying_bullet]

Well...

She works for the county children's service agency, so I will go with not a chance.

That said, I just got word that the husband just got 2 job offers and he accepted one.

I connected the neighbor w/my lawyer friend. He moved his resume around and it looks like it yielded the desired result.

We had been praying for his job situation for a while. God is good.

I don’t understand this. Black females are two checked boxes on EEO. They should go to the front on hiring. Especially in HR departments.

Not a Ritz-American?

What is an African-American?You are either African or American....

Yeah, looking back on their labels they put on themselves, it's pretty damn absurd and very divisive...

I refuse to use that asinine term...

[Patriotic1]

52% of primary wage earners in the African American community are women (compared with a national average of 39% ), so the effects of unemployment are crushing.

I think the fact that men are only 48% of the primary wage earners in the A-A community is even more crushing. Add that to the numbers of families without a father and it is an all-out tragedy.

[Logic n' Reason]

This seems like a very good reason for these good folk to continue to vote for the geat islamic muslim god who they voted into the office of president of the US.

In the paraphrased words of SP, "how's that hopey changy thing workin' for y'all?"

It is obvious that Obama and his rat pack love and want the illegal Hispanics over native American Blacks.

[Windcatcher]

We have a winner.

99.6% of them voted for one or more of the following:

- socialism
- black solidarity
- reparations
- to screw whitey

F*ck ‘em. They made their choice.

..."if you are a black woman and have at least some professional skills and a good attitude."

That's funny.

[ZULU]

“F*ck ‘em. They made their choice.”

Well, the problem is, so far, they comprise part of that solid 30% who feel the Obamanation is doing a great job.

Only when they finally wake up and realize the mess this idiot has made of America’s economy in an effort to Bolshevize us, will his popuarity be whittled down to appropriate levels - i.e. the criminally insane and college professors - which are probably the same thing anyway.

Which speaks volumes about the minimum wage & its true effects & consequences in a free market. Keep jacking it up, - see what happens

That is exactly right. The recent increase in minimum wage also has killed off many apprenticeship programs.

...Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men...
