Black Unemployment 2001-2011 (Gov't Labor Stats: Someone Alert Kanye West!)
Bureau of Labor Statistics ^ | 6/11/11 | Recovering_Democrat

Posted on 06/12/2011 10:07:00 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides us with a chart detailing seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for Black Americans from the month George W. Bush was inaugurated to this past month under Hussein.

(Excerpt) Read more at bls.gov ...


TOPICS: Business/Economy; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: bush; jobs; obama; race

We all should remember how Kanye West made an ass of himself during the Red Cross post-Katrina fundraiser, how he told America that George Bush hates black people.

Can someone alert the black community how they're faring, job-wise, under the man-child failure B. Hussein Obama?

Notice in the "pre-Obama" era (which we'll define as BEFORE November 2008, the month Hussein was elected), the PEAK unemployment rate for blacks was 11.4%. Of course, once Hussein was elected, employers shed jobs in droves...so under Bush, technically, black unemployment reached 12.7.

Now, look at the unemployment rate for blacks under Hussein the Messiah: the rate has never fallen below 13.5%, and has gone as high as 16.5%! Currently, the rate is 16.2%.

So tell me: how is that hope 'n change workin' out for the minority community?

They would say it would be even worse under the GOP and will still vote for Obama at a rate of greater than 90%. Racial solidarity trumps everything.

The reason it is higher under Zero is because Zero is giving the Black unemployed the walking around money that he is getting from the unions. He wants “his” people kept on the plantation and dependent on him.

Dems prefer racial solidarity over results. Mob mentality.

And yet the polls are still showing that at least 95% of Black Americans will vote for Hussein next time. They don’t seem to really understand what the RATS have done to them since Reconstruction. Zero “looks Black” and that is their litmus test. You have to wonder just how wonderful leaders like Col. West and Herman Cain escaped this multi-generational malaise.

Fact: The person that hates Black folks the most is none other then POTUS Barack Hussein Obama. Could rant on this for hours, but.....does no good!!!! You can lead a horse to water, but....you cannot make him or her drink. The worst thing that ever happened to Black people in America is the election of POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! Factual history has already proven it so!!! Sad, that these folks cannot see the economic slavery they have committed themselves to by supporting Obama!!!

Alan West & Herman Cain used their God given brains and took advantage of their freedom and opportunity in the USA, rather then rant about racism and then putting their hands out. They learned the most important lesson of all. A prolonged handout from government is a path to economic control and slavery. That is where most Black folk are today!!! Sad!!!

As I see it...
0 tolerates Hispanics (for votes) JMO

0 hates all whites (esp Southerners) and probably has a little dislike now
for his white mother. JMO

0 tolerates blacks (for votes) Afterall he is HALF WHITE and we know who whites hate. Must cause a lot of confusion. JMO

0 loves mooslims period, esp. the ‘call to prayer’.
He gets off on that. JMO

PS seeing in the news (can’t post) that certain news outlets refuse to identify race in attacks. Waiting to see if that applies to all races. Stand by.

Are blacks tired of being used by liberals every election cycle?

No?

Then, I don’t give a damn about their unemployment.

But you are missing the point ! All these people are not going to vote ! The enthusiasm is completely gone ! Combine that with the lack of enthusiasm among students, you are looking at a disaster ! In the meanwhile, conservatives are pumped up ! Get involved at your local precinct and start mobilising each vote and register as much republicans as possible ! Obama can be defeated by a landslide by any republican !

I think a lot of the stimulus money has been shunted aside to buy Hussein votes in 2012. I also think he will play the race card big time....we’ll see.
