The Historic Presidency: "Black Unemployment Reaches Great Depression Levels"
File Under: "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish."
The Black unemployment rate is officially 15.7 percent nationwide compared to 9.5 percent for whites. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are troubled by what they believe is the lack of response to the economic situation that is confronting them on the part of the administration... Joblessness for 16-to-24-year old Black men has reached Great Depression proportions -- 34.5 percent in October, more than three times the rate for the general U.S. population according to the Center for Labor Market Studies.

Your Say
What did Blacks expect from a man who had and has no idea, through living it, of growing up in America? He is the first Arab President who passed for Black. he has no idea of the Black experience in America, or the White experience, either. His formative grade school years were spent in a third world country run by a dictator. He was then raised by White grandparents of an apparent leftist stripe, so he never got to see America as most black and white children do. Because of his un- or anti- American upbringing he is detached from the concerns of all Americans. Why should he give a damn about any black person, rich or poor, who he knows he can rely on for a vote simply because of his skin color. Racism thy name is Barrack Obama.
