African-American unemployment at 16 percent

[pinqy]

If those numbers are correct, that means that most of "the Blacks" (84%) are employed and doing well!!

The numbers are correct, your interpretation of them is not.
As of June, Black Adult Civilian non-Institutional population (16 and older not in the military, prison, or other institution) is 29,885,000
15,872,000 are employed, 2,668,000 are unemployed, and 11,347,000 are Not in the Labor Force (neither working nor looking for work).

So the employment-population ratio is 53.1%, compared to 59.4% for Whites, 60.5% for Asians, and 58.6% all races.

The Unemployment rate is not based on the population, but on the Labor Force (Employed + Unemployed).

Where are you getting those stats from? Where are those stats for Hispanics and Native Americans? If those stats are correct, it's only approximately 6 people per one hundred people more than whites, so what?

Employment Situation

And 6 out of 100 adds up when you're talking tens of millions.

Thanks for the citation and yes "6 out of 100 does add up" and so does 94 out of 100 doing pretty well. I always thought that "conservatives" allegedly were about "the individual"? Do you think that the majority of the people who are doing well, should face blanket generalizations and insults based solely on the MINORITY of people who are not doing well? A small minority of white people belong to the klan and a minority of white people are outright racist bigots, should the MAJORITY of white people face ignorant blanket generalizations as bigots?

You think Obama will be able to throw a switch and UE for blacks will get better.
With UE as high as it is now or maybe a little higher come election
day that says Obama deserves another term?...

LOL, I like the way you guys try to inject some crap into the conversation. Where did I state that I allegedly thought that "Obama will be able to throw a switch and UE for blacks will get better."? Where?
Why does Romney deserve to be elected? Who is his running mate? What does he actually bring to the table? More big government? More debt? More neocon policies?

Blacks don't need to work. Obama will take care of them as long as they stay on the plantation.

Just like republicans (your party and people) take care of whites like you as long as they stay in the Klavern.

Where are you getting that number from? The 6 out of 100 is the DIFFERENCE between White and Black employment-population ratios.

No, I don't. And I haven't done so.

A small minority of white people belong to the klan and a minority of white people are outright racist bigots, should the MAJORITY of white people face ignorant blanket generalizations as bigots?

Nope.

Not sure what you thought the relevance of that was.

African American unemployment rate is worse than that of Hispanics which is worse than that of Whites, which is worse than that of Asians. Those are facts. You want to attach any additional meaning, that's your business.

Among blacks there's a high percentage who don't take education seriously. For them school is a place to goof off, socialize, be cool, etc. Once many of them eventually drop out they're not qualified to do anything other than continue that same lifestyle in the streets due to a lack of employable skills. They're authors of their own misfortune and not much Obama or any president can do to help get them employed. Who'd want them?

How much of institutionalized racism and seperate but equal factor into the poor educational performances of those you so eagerly criticize? It is not about who would want them. It is whether or not African Americans will help themselves.

Wow I am jealous. They are doing better than the real national average.

This president has failed the American people, but particularly the black community.

Far from empowering the black community, under this president more blacks are on food stamps then anytime in history. He has done nothing to promote individual prosperity in the black business community.

No this president attack the Black Chamber of Commerce, because they didn't agree. This president set out to make a new black chamber of commerce

Do they include the 2 million in prison when determining those figures ?

Nope. The survey excludes everyone under16, everyone in prison, the military, or an institution. The homeless aren't included either but that's because they can't be reliably counted.

This post is an outright lie.I dont believe any stats that this country has whites believing.Now that 16% could very well be representing whites as they are doing all the complaining.You know They are screaming their heads off about what Blacks are receiving and they aren't.
