“Black America is largely unemployed, in debt and in prison”, and it going to stay that way until THEY change.

"If you're someone with credit card debt, stand," said Jackson. A segment of the audience stood. "If you're someone with student loans, stand," he said. Nearly everyone in the audience stood. "And if you're someone looking for a job, stand," he said. Many more people tentatively raised their hands. "That's the state of black America," he said. "We are free but not equal. Free to be unemployed."

Jesse forgot...

"If you're someone with a felony on your record, stand."

"If you're someone who didn't graduate high school , stand."

"If you're someone who does not speak proper English, stand."

"If you're someone with a bad attitude and a constant chip on your shoulder, stand."

Those points would have had a lot of people standing, and those points would be a lot more accurate as to why black people have the worst employment rate in America.

Sounds to me like Jackson is saying that black are incapable of managing their own lives. Sounds racist to me.

And there is the little fact that Bummer with his enviro policies has eliminated so many of the hard work, get a start jobs for folks with little education.

Work in a mill or a steel mill for a while, save some money, buy a little house, get some night school and move on up.

Nopers, we cannot have folks dealing with icky, dirty, not-green stuff to get started in life.

How can you disagree in any way?

Where would someone go to have more opportunity than what is here in this country?

Yeah. Like there are no White people who are unemployed, have student loan debt, or credit card debt. We do. But we would have less of it were it not for taxes to pay for entitlements.

Life is so unfair, eh Jesse?

Asians are so fortunate as to never have experienced racial bigotry. How else to explain their relative success in the U.S.?

It couldn't possibly be because they study in school, work hard, learn English, save their money, discipline their children, and respect their marriage, could it?

Blacks have been so betrayed by liberals and the evil they espouse.

Heartily agree. Was arguing with a lib the other day when she cited some study that had been done wrt job applicants responding to help wanted ads. One group, “Gregs” and Annes” obtained more favorable results than “Shaneequa and L’Shawn”.

As you said: These names are choices. Maybe they are culturally rich and I am a cultural luddite and fie on me. As you know, although discrimination by race etc; is illegal and prohibited, discrimination over attitude is not. I was sued by an angry employee whom I fired, and I had documented his insubordination pretty well. I won. These names, sorry, pre-broadcast attitude. Yes, I know, it would absolutely destroy their self esteem to re-type their resume “Shelley (Shaneequa) ———”. Uh huh. It could easily destroy my company to suffer a lawsuit by an ethnic opportunist. And guess what. I’m free to avoid it, if I can. The results are obvious. IMO 0bama has set race relations back 60 years, and the residue, in terms of Black (un)employment will persist for a very, very long time.

And as long as they remain on the plantation the worse it will become. Just keep voting Democrat, it’s worked well for 60 years hasn’t it? How pathetic.

I am not a racist.

Damn right, I am a culturist.....Some cultures are superior to others.....the good news is, you can choose your culture, you cannot choose your race.....choose wisely.

If it’s so bad here, why don’t they all move back to that great utopia known as Africa.

Then they’d all be free. Yes, FREE. /s

Why punish the Africans like that.....they hate them even more than the white folks here do.
