It's got to be the hat . . .
In an entertaining interview with Tamron Hall on MSNBC this afternoon, Dem congresswoman Frederica Wilson of Florida cited "racism" first among causes of high black unemployment. She also: called for a second stimulus; said now is not the time to criticize President Obama; took a sideways swipe at Maxine Waters; and asserted President Obama would be defeated for re-election if he tried to help the black community.

When you’ve got a single digit I.Q., it’s always a good idea to keep the race card handy. When you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull****.

I think that’s actually the preferred ceremonial headdress in the 17th District of Florida.

We could go back to the pre-civil war Democratic party’s policies of employing blacks. There was zero unemployment, full health care and low income housing for all.

Just where to the Dems get these ignorant nuts? Do they have a mold they just stamp them out with?

Not to worry, Obama will be giving millions of work permits to illegals. This should help black unemployment....right?

Of course, many hoped that the election of a black president was supposed to make this whole racial tension thing go away.

She got one thing right. Making sure obama is one and done, is certainly a goal of Taxed Enough All ready, Americans.

Dear Black Community: Since you always vote for OBAMA and the Dems like Waters, Pelosi, Reid, Wilson, etc., they don't need to pay any attention to you and they don't give a sh*t what happens to you.
You've been seduced by these anti-black nimrods into a life of permanent abject poverty, soon to be followed by unprecedented disaster. You have managed to be destitute in the land that presents the most opportunity to succeed in the history of the planet. The Democrat Party has made you slaves. Again.
And if Abe Lincoln came along you would all vote AGAINST him!

Could lack of education be the fault of black unemployment? Just askin.
When I worked at a casino we had a black woman storm into the office to complain her slot machine wasn’t paying her enough cresits. She actually told the casino manager that the machine was discriminating against her. After she left we couldn’t stop laughing because it was so hilarious.
Thanks to dimmycrats these people are lost.

She may be right. After all, most if not all companies can only afford so many Affirmative Action employees. God knows we have way too many on the federal payroll. Especially at the top.

A mentor of mine once told me this growing up:
“Racism happens. Deal with it. Make sure you’re twice as good as whoever you’re competing against because not only are you competing against other employees for the same job, you’re competing against a mindset and a prejudice. Some of it is very deserved, but that doesn’t mean you should quit and mope around, boy! You can’t feed yourself on self-pity.”
My dad was a wonderful man.

The Black community.
The Hispanic community.
The Gay community.
The Asian community.
The “-” community.
(It is not politically correct to even have an actual White communtiy)
What happened to “our” communities that so separates us as individuals from each other?
Democrats.
The original political party of racial and class warfare terrorists.
