Strangely enough, black unemployment in this country, after breaking the pattern at end of the Bush administration, that had been up until that point, a decades-long pattern of being twice white unemployment, has once again resumed that disturbing and prolonged trend under our black president, Barry "Almighty". According to Pew Research, the unemployment for blacks now stands at 13.4 percent. And if you're really stupid enough to believe that it is actually that 'low', then, I suppose, you're also stupid enough to have voted for Barry. But hey, I suppose if you were genuinely interested in working, you might have actually voted for the white guy.
In a report timed for release on the eve of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Dream" speech, Pew said on Thursday, "Much has changed for African-Americans since the 1963 March on Washington (which, recall, was a march for 'Jobs and Freedom'), but one thing hasn't: The unemployment rate among blacks is about double that among whites, as it has been for most of the past six decades." Look, the real unemployment rate for whites is actually closer to 16 percent, so that would make it somewhere in the vicinity of 30 percent for blacks. Which is probably a lot closer to being right than what we're hearing from Pew.
The trend broke at the end of former President George W. Bush's administration with a recession that had a greater impact on hit whites and boosted their unemployment rate. But over the course of the last four years, whites have picked up more jobs. According to Pew white unemployment is 6.7 percent, or exactly half the black rate. Also, according to Pew, the trend has history on its side. It said that going back to 1954, the earliest year that data was available, the white rate was 5 percent and the black rate 9.9 percent. But with these numbers coming from the government I'm not sure they are anymore accurate than the numbers today.
But look, I think we're all able to very easily recognize the fact that most blacks don't really want to work, it's seen as somehow being beneath them. Then there's that rabid sense of entitlement. That and the bizarre mentality that has many dropping out of school looks cooler to their friends than does graduating. And it's nearly impossible to find very many in the black community who possess much of a work ethic. Combine them all with the fact that once you hire one, and that lack of work ethic becomes glaringly obvious, you can't fire them out of fear of being sued for being a racist. A tactic actively encouraged by this administration.
So why would anyone with a business put themselves through the stress and aggravation of even hiring a black in the first place when you know the chances of them 'wanting' to come to work and 'wanting' to do a good job, are slim and none, and Slim just left town. And all that Barry has done since assuming office is to put in the minds of these people the notion that they don't need to work if they don't want to. He's made it very easy for folks to get on multiple forms of government subsistence, thus leaving them more free time to enjoy their favorite pastimes of beating up and leaving for dead old WWII vets, murdering foreigners and white babies.
And yet Barry insists upon taking a great deal of pleasure in blaming American racism for the high unemployment of blacks. When in reality, it has been the policies that he himself has put into place since coming into office, and the notion that he has placed in their heads, that working isn't necessary, that are really what's to blame for so many blacks being out of work. He took what was, at the time, a struggling economy, and quickly proceeded to put in on life support. Between the thousand's of new regulations he's created, Obamacare and higher taxes placed on small business owners, there's very little left to pay new full-time employees.
If blacks genuinely want to rejoin the workforce, then what's required to take place is a fundamental change, to use Barry's term, within the black community. The first step in moving forward with that change is for there to be a refocusing on the family. And there needs to be instilled in people a desire to be self-reliant, and a willingness to be a productive member of society as a whole, as well as a willingness to learn and to work. As has always been the case, blacks control their own destiny, but it was back in the 1960's that it was decided that it would just be easier to hand over that control to the Democrats. And sadly, the consequences of that decision have been both disastrous and long lasting.
