Sharpton Blames GOP for Black Unemployment

disqus_CbW05qHFGY

I agree with Rev Sharpton. No one seems to be concern with these extremely high unemp numbers in the black communities. There are real families behind these numbers. Families who are struggling just to take care if the basic needs of there family. Whites hire whites. I think EEOC needs a new model. They should be proactively following these job applicants and come up with a comprehense approach from beginning to end instead of waiting for a job applicant or employee to come to them. Employers realizes these critical flaws at EEOC and know they can get away with thus type of discrimination. There is also an unequal balance in law firms willing to take on an employees case in representation in a court case yet you have hundreds of firms representing employers. This is not right!! This is not justice!! There needs to be serious dialogue on racial discrimination in the workplace and an infusion of new ideas at EEOC.

If I were to bring up Al Sharpton to my black friends they would look at me with disdain and just shake their heads. Of course they are all pretty smart, and think for themselves and take responsibility. Same for JJ.

This ultraracist SOB should be sent to Africa so he can enjoy his heritage. What a sick baffoon. I remember Tanya and the dog crap lie that got him in as “a black leader”. If it takes dog crap, pregnant employees and dishonesty, I would not to be included in the list of “black leaders”.

Sharpton is an a–hole. Everyone else is responsible for the black unemployment except the blacks them]selves who are among the largest group to leave school, produce fatherless children and go on the doll. If you think this is racist, and I think it will be the first reaction among you,
please exert the time and effort to look up the statistics I have revealed.

Let me see George Wallace who fouth tooth and nail to stop segregation was a Demoncrat, Senator Byrd from WV was a Grand Kleagle in the KKK and was a Demoncrat, Al Gores father was against the Equal Rights Act of 1968 and was a Demoncrat, is there a theme here….how did the Republicans get the blame because Leftist Liberals control the education system and rewrite history to their benefit.

Racism and bias have no state limitations. When my family and I moved to Milford.Delaware in 1965 to become pastor of a church there, a strange thing happened. My picture and a write-up had been in the local paper that week. On Saturday evening I recieved a call form a well-spoken man who stated that he was the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Clan in Delaware and would like to meet with me. I was brief, hot and to the point. I told him I resented that either someone had showed him my picture in the paper which stated that I had moved there from Alabama, or so someone felt that I was a hot prospect for the Delaware Klan. I let him know very explicitly that I was not interested and we had nothing in common. I also chided him that he surely didn’t SOUND like a dragon!

The nect mornng I mentioned the incident and told them that, just for the record, because I was from Alabama didn’t necessarily mean that I was a racist, and if one of you told that “dragon” about me, you made a big mistake! Then I stated that it was odd that being a resident of Alabama all my life where the Klan was very active, I was never invited to join! But I moved 900 miles north to Delaware and got an invitation! And odd thing in my thinking!.-

Only one thing to say. They should call him Al the spinner Sharpton. Dems. sure can spin.

Sad that Hispanics are being drawn into the Social Democrat web of soft shackles. Other ‘minorities’ have seen it for what it is – and have refused to embrace it – and they have done well in schools and business, and life. The Blacks elect people like Jesse Jackson Jr for 17 years from South Chicago and will re-elect him again if he runs, in spite of being under two Federal Investigations for election fraud. And the reason is – that, like with the Muslims, no black leaders speak out against these wrongs, so by being silent, they support reverse discrimination. And they elect people in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans that the Social Democrats tell them to, even though they are dishonest. Beware Hispanics, or you will follow in their footsteps.

What I find interesting is that Blacks still think like they did when they were liberated at the time of the Civil War. They were suddenly freed slaves, with the mentality that they couldn’t take care of themselves without the aid of “Master”. They still think they can’t take care of themselves without the aid of “Master (Government)”. Amazing that their attitude toward their freedom remains unchanged. Is it the people themselves, or what they’ve been taught to think about themselves? I really don’t know…

You are so embarrassing sir. There is no hate for anyones nationality. If you feel any hate, it’s because YOU are the one spreading it. If people care and like each other YOU would be out of a job. Sir, YOU teach hate!!! And being a minister makes me sick with your stupid selfish attitude toward people of all color. So, you need to get on your knee’s and ask God to forgive you and you need to get right with God before Jesus returns…YOU possibly will miss Heaven. Praying for your soul.

He is right in a way we did allow Obama to cheat and steal the election We would have a real president if it at been a honest election so I guess he is right we should have done something to get the squatter out of the white house then the unemployment would be going down.

Blacks are the only group that have jobs guarnteed because of affrimative action. Affrimitive action means give the job to a black regardless of their abilities. MLK Jr. thought this was wrong whrn he said he didn’t want people to be judge by the color of their skin. Affrimitive Action does just that when it says O.K. because of the color of your skin here is a job.

Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson, and many others, make a living spouting White Hate. Blacks who follow them are RACISTS.
See, if you do NOT hire someone because of their race, you are a racist. But, if you DO hire someone based upon their race (Affirmative Action for one example) you ARE also a racist.
The U.S. government both condemns racisism and at the same time promotes racism. Because what most U.S. citizens do not realize is that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others get government grants to spout their White Hate. Both Jackson & Sharpton own their own private jets. Our TAX DOLLARS paid for those jets and their upkeep. We are stupid to let this happen. But, then again, many where stupid to elect, then re-elect this Racist in the White House.

DanMR

Black unemployment can be traced largely to their being raised in predominantly father-less families. Without the proper upbringing of a good father who helps keep them on the right track while providing a good, steady example.(whether working or not) Anyone who has followed Al and Jesse and the rest of these horrible leaders know their history of inflaming the Black population with only one goal in mind, power, and therefore money, within the Black people.

that is because most blacks and Hispanics are lazy and want the government hand outs. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying there are not lazy white trash out there that are not the same way. I know a lot in this town, just say the majority are black and Hispanics.

Al Sharpton showed his true racist leanings when he came to the aid of Twana Brawley and falsely accused and demonized whites for a crime that was never commited by anyone other than the girl herself. And that’s not the last time he tried to falsely make race an issue.
Saying that black unemployment is up because of the GOP is like saying there are no successful black people out there. Let’s put the blame of black unemployment where it belongs on the shoulders of community leaders and a failed administration who helped create an entitled society with lower work ethics. “If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, But if you teach him how to fish he can feed himself for life.

TFgrammie

Am I wrong or aren’t government jobs which he says is the primary employment of blacks funded from the budget? And last time I checked the Congress has not passed a budget for 3 1/2 years. So how can the GOP be cutting anything? And he is dead wrong about jobs in the private sector going up. They have never reached the level they were when Obama took office. The figures we see are increases/decreases without comparison to the total number of jobs lost–only what has happened in a single month. Statistics are slippery. I am sick of being accused of every thing that is wrong and the GOP caused it all. Isn’t it time for the Dems and Obama to stand up on their own feet–they’ve had 4 years. Also budgets come from the Senate, not the House and who controls the Senate? Furthermore, when blacks stop whining and starting acting like the rest of us who are struggling and don’t expect to get special treatment, they may actually get somewhere. But when every report I see is some fat, stupid black woman standing on the street saying “Obama give us phones. Yea, Obama all the way” or someone like Sharpton who wanting us to grovel because blacks were slaves. Do they know how the slaves were obtained in Africa? They were sold by other blacks to the slavers!!! If you look at history, every good thing that has happened to blacks has been at the hands of Repubs. Every civil rights bill was fought by the Democrats. Desegregation was forced by Nixon. The examples are endless. As you see, I’m pretty sick of this tired rhetoric. We aren’t supposed to see their color but they keep pushing it down our throats,

Al Sharpton is one of the most racist people in the world. He prays on the black community for finacial gains and his super ego thinks he is the best of the best.

Al Sharpton is the one who should be unemployed!! What an idiot!! The only reason he has money is because he exploits the African American people and some of them are aware of his racist tactics, but too many are drinking the Kool – Aid of The NAACP!

http://www.facebook.com/PatFerr Patrick Ferrell

Let’s just call a Spade a Ni%^$#, and that’s what Sharpton and his ilk are. The reason the Unemployment rate is down for Blacks is due to Barack Hussein Obama, not anybody else. Plus, a lot of blacks don’t want to work when they can get Welfare and not have to look for a job since Obama changed one of the very very FEW government programs that was actually WORKING (Thank you Newt Gingrich and republican congress in the 90′s that FORCED a kicking and screaming Bill Clinton into signing it into law after vetoing it 2 or 3 times until finally, he seemed forced to sign it to get his name off the front pages due to the Lewinsky scandal. Then, when it turned out to be a success, like most libs do, they try to take credit for it, but he never wanted it, he vetoed the same bill over and over and they didn’t change it, they just kept sending it to him until he signed it, so he can’t say that it was a bad bill, and they changed it into something he liked. Nope, he can’t say that.
Anyway, black unemployment is due to the policies of Barack Obama, and nobody else. The total unemployment rate is HUGE, much bigger than even the BLS shows, they just did their best to hide it until after the election (like leaving out California’s data “Oops, they didn’t get their data in on time” so it dropped from 8.3% to 7.8% which Obama immediately began to tout that his policies were beginning to work, but they weren’t, and it was all a shell game to fool voters until after the election, then it doesn’t matter. So, Get used to being Unemployed Blacks, because Obama doesn’t have to make anybody happy anymore, just ;pass his socialistic/communistic agenda, and that’s what he is doing. He wants us to go off the Fiscal cliff and all the taxes on everybody to go up, He can try to blame Republicans, again, but it was Democrats that demanded an end date to those tax cuts, not Republicans. So if they expire, its on the democrats of the early 2000′s that negotiated that end date. It has been extended 2 times by Obama (which is puzzling since he claimed the Bush tax cuts are the reason for the recession that was the worst since the great depression, so why keep them going after he was President? Very puzzling indeed huh? Yeah, and he kept GITMO open too after swearing to close it. He went back on a lot of his promises, and when Obamacare kicks in next January, just wait and see how much worse things get. Don’t see how it can be avoided unless we impeach Obama and Joe Biden at the same time but then we get Boehner as President, and not sure how much better that would be.

Actually Al & Jesse have made a business of helping black people become and remain in the slave mentality – telling them – they are victims of the evil white man trying to keep blacks down on the planation No All actually we would like blacks to stop this victim mentality and stop bitching – and do something about your life – rather than be a gang banger- drug pusher- robber -rapist – No step up and act like a man – support your kids – instead of what one black woman was talking about – she had 15 kids and 3 daddies – but by golly she could sure collect the welfare. Please unless black people want to go the way of the mayans – and just disappear – do something with your life – you weren’t a slave and neither were your ancestors – get over it – because until you step up and take responsibility for your life and the lives of other blacks – you will always be a 2nd rate citizen – begging the man for handouts and the free cell phones.. Black unemployment can be traced to acting black -talking black- acting like a moron – dressing like a moron – quiting school – being a gang banger dirt bag criminal – holy crap – a majority of inner city blacks act like they just arrived from another planet – where common sense- and being decent law abiding citizen is unknown to them.. So when something pisses you – just continue to burn your neighborhoods- store- and vehicles – such a great way to show uppity white people how bad you is..

Itellthe truth

So let me understand Mr. Rev. Sharpton, Because most black children live in one parent households and many have diferent last names but the same mother….is that the Republicans fault too? I went to school during the time when blacks had equal access to public education and sat in the same classroom as whites, but blacks continue to perform worst on standardized test than whites…is that the Republicans fault too? I guess I should quit my job and go volunteer to baby sit a black child with only one parent at home…thw women of course so then she can go to work and not have to stay home with her fatherless baby….I that my responsibility too? I hope that some day folks like you and Rev. Jesse Jackson can use your time to actually tell the truth which is everyone has a personal responsibility for their own actions and behavior and those who make bad decisions must step up their game to get ahead and not count on folks like Hussein Oboma to give them a free ride, phone , job, food stamps, healthcare or whatever else he can come up with to buy their vote. Take responsibility Mr. Sharpton!

UH…Martin Luther King was a Republican, folks…So Al Sharpton is against all that Mr. King did for the black people? No, I don’t think so, and He shouldn’t be, but that is another reason this is crazy talk as usual from Al Sharpton. He is a racist, a bigot, a trader to his people, the outlandish fee’s He charges to speak at functions, its time all Black people look at these leaders who PRETEND to be for you, they are fake’s, liars, etc. Its easy to see.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson never speak like this unless there is a big crowd and they are what keep the black in the news thinking they are owed something. What about the white people who are out of work and have been out of work for 2 or 3 years. OK Sharpton who you gonna blame that one? Why is it that Obama gave the black farmers over 2 billion dollars for the way they were treated in the past? Just why should my taxes go to reward them when I never owned a black farmer, I never treated one bad and neither did any of my family.
he blacks bring what they get or how they are treated on themselves. They treat white people like they are under them, if they see a white woman on the street they either try to pick them up or want them to join their stable. They wear funny looking clothes that show them or what they are so you just go on blameing the white man or the white congress or anyone else but like I said the black bring it on themselves.
Look at the mobs of black teens who go around smashing and grabbing, who beat up white people or Hispanic people just because they are so mistreated or mis understood. Everytime you and Jackson come on TV and start your the poor black man, the poor black race you make me want to puke. Look at how many of the black that have millions of dollars from either singing, or sports or acting. How many of them offer to help their poor black race? Not many I am sure because they are going to make the news and they are going to brag about how much money they have, the fancy things they do and like J Z said most people couldn’t afford anything his daughter Blue Ivy has so case closed and I am sure you have millions so why don’t you help your poor black unemployed and quit running that big mouth

I blame unemployment on the Unions. If they had not gotten minimum wage laws passed all those low paying jobs in China, et al, would be in the USA and not elsewhere. All those illegal aliens working for below minimum wage cash only jobs would also be American jobs. People want to pay as little as possible for goods and services. Do you pay sticker for that new car? When you have to make a major purchase do you shop around or just buy the 1st one you find? The programs Sharpton calls “employment” are really “redistribution of wealth” with artifically created work being the supposed benefit.

A friend of mine accurately represented there are jobs in America waiting for those with the requisite skills to fill them. Those without jobs who do not qualify for the available jobs do not have the skills to fill them. Al Sharpton, it is no more difficult than that to understand. By the way, jobs in Pastoral Ministries are available for those with Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Theology (Th.M.), Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), or Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) degrees. Excuse me? Oh, so you do not qualify for any of them because you do not have the requisite skills to fill them, either?

Al Sharpton tried to incite the Black community in Wappinger Falls a few years ago when a Black girl-Tawana Brawley- claimed she had been molested and put in a black plastic bag by white men.The real truth was that she was afraid to go home and made up the whole story.Al Sharpton came to Wappinger Falls and had the people in a frenzy,found out the black girl had lied about every thing,and still never apologized for trying to incite a riot.The police never charged him or her with any thing.This is what calls himself REVEREND Al Sharpton and he has the nerve to accuse the Republicans for race discrimination.If the news media ,such as,M.S.N.B.C.wouldn’t give this thing a public rostrum he could pay his back taxes or go to jail.He rides around in a limousine ,takes money from poor people in his church and has the nerve to call other people RACISTS.He should try to talk black girls and women out of having ABORTIONS but evidently there is no money in doing that.GENOCIDE of his own people must not be very important to him but making money sure seems to be.

Laziness, welfare, food stamps, obamaphones, housing, and if they take that job, they will lose all the freebees. Blacks have become generational government lackies. Poverty is what the government has done to them and that’s just a few of the reasons. There are many others.

Al Sharpton has to keep blaming the rich, the GOP, the whites etc. He likes to keep the racial divide to keep himself relevant in the black community. Once the African American community realizes that the likes of him along with the Democratic party want to keep them on the “government plantation”. This will secure their power as long as they keep screaming and blaming the other guy! He’s a disgrace, a thug and a racist!

Ok … The issue I take with you here is that you refer to Mr. Sharpton as “…the leader of the black community”. This would also imply that Mr. Sharpton speaks for me and ALL black Americans & that all Black Americans agree with what ever statments that are made by Mr. Sharpton. That WOULD NOT be the case and nothing could be further from the truth! Indeed, “We need to put a stop to identity politics, where people advocate purely out of ethnic self-interest.” We should also NOT identify ALL Black Americans as those that are of the same mind as Mr. Sharpton or that he speaks for us all as a leader [Mr. Sharpton neither having been elected or selected by me .... kinda like saying Mr. Bill Clinton or Mr. David Dukes speakes for all Southern White Americans.].

How did this loud mouth fool ever become a spokesman for the blacks of this country. If he does not have something to rant about he would dry up and blow away. He is one of the reasons that there are racial tensions in this country. That is why he loves the democratic party they are racists all.

Until the African American community breaks out of its self imposed bondage overseen by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, they will not prosper. The Constitution of the United States, and conservatives who hold it dear affirm the right of all Americans to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. By encouraging entitlement mentality, those who do so, in effect deny the very rights of those who now believe themselves entitled to the basic premises upon which this country was founded; liberty to prosper independently of government oversight.

Sharpton is a disgrace to black people…and all Americans…to bad he doesn’t use his energy to instill pride and work ethics people instead of trying to keep racizim alive and flourishing…it’s only to keep his name in the media and money in his pockets….the media should ignore him at a costs

We don’t hire on the basis of color!! The only people who seem to consistently do things based solely on the color of their skin are the democrats!! We republicans base our hiring decisions on the content of a person’s character!!!! There are many people of color with very good jobs! The government is the new slave owner! They want to get people of color on their payroll or on federal assistance so they will continue to vote for democrats. Reduce the size of government, reduce the dependence on government assistance, and rid our business community of all the job choking regulations and we will get back to work. Stop pushing gay marriage and abortions, and start pushing marriage once for life so that children of color have a better chance of making it in life. Study after study shows that 75% of all black children are born out of wedlock! They end up in poverty, they drop out of school, and they don’t do well in life. Let’s stop pushing abortions and a “do whatever you want” agenda, and start pushing God’s design of intact families and church involvement!! Government is NEVER the answer. God’s word is! Get thee to the churches!

By the way – if they are going to hand out reparations for atrocities committed during the Civil War – I will be the first in line. Four of my ancestors were Quakers aka The Society of Friends. They left the State of New York and moved to the South in order to fight slavery – by seeking to educate others that slavery is immoral – both from a human perspective & an economic one as well. They sometimes attended slave auctions, & would purchase slaves & grant them Manumission. For their efforts, they were “rewarded” by Sherman’s Army – their homes were destroyed, their crops seized, & some were imprisoned for failing to take a loyalty oath. Where’s my money?

The same rubbish that Brudder Sharpton et al. are espousing is the same spewed by so called “progressives” when they convinced the legislators of the several states to ratify the 16th Amendment aka the Income Tax. For years the cry of these greedy entitlement minded idiots has been the same – all we need is just more money to fix the problem(s) that plague our society. Guess what it isn’t working. With a federal debt that truly staggers the imagination, and taxes at all time confiscatory levels – they continue to cry feed the government leviathan. Given the federal governments success in: The war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on crime, etc. – do you they could fix this problem? It is really simple concept – you subsidize something, you get more of it. What does our government subsidize currently – Does it punish hard work or idleness? The answer is very simple if you think about it.

First of all the “Slavery Card” needs to be put away from these so called African American Leaders! Your own people sold you out! It wasn’t the White Man that approached you but the Leaders of Conquering Tribes in Africa that sold Men, Women and Children all over the World. It then became a Trade Market! Funny how the Republicans can be blamed for the worst Unemployment under a Democratic President. Again, one of your own Sold you out. If these Leaders of the Black Community: Sharpton, Jackson had actually ever had a real JOB other than promoting Racism in their own Cultures, we all would be better off. Most Blacks unemployed were on Welfare long before Unemployment, in most cases. It is their way of life! Get Educated, dress appropriate for a Job interview and possibly obtain a job for your efforts….otherwise, stop blaming everyone else for your self-induced misfortune. Ohhh, by the way, Slavery ended a long time ago, get over it, NO ONE owes you or your Families anything! If you are not happy with the Social Setting of America, go back to the Motherland. It is called WORKING for what you want! A Really Good Concept for some Americans!!!!

Al not so sharp hadn’t bothered asking anybody why unemployment is high among blacks, latinos and so forth. Stats show that many have lost their jobs due to the meltdown before 2008 and hasn’t stopped. Also, many people bought houses and cars that were beyond their means, thinking low interest rates won’t hike their ARM and will not skyrocket.

Black menhave been politically privileged since the early 40’s, Franklin Roosevelt(democrat) created AA. Affirmative action gained muscle in the 1960s with therise of the civil rights movement. In an order issued by President John F. Kennedy (democrat) on March 6, 1961, established the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity,mandating that projects given federal funds take affirmative action to keep racial bias out of employment and hiring practices. But it was the Civil Right Act signed by President Lyndon Johnson (democrat) in 1964 that effectively
outlawed discrimination and started the idea of equal opportunity. A lot happen between the mid-60s and now, but not really for the best. It has not helped the intend group. It’s hard to help a group that won’t help themselves. Blacks killing blacks, gangs, drugs and prison are not helping. I don’t think Obama can do anything to help this problem. The government can’t make up for strong family values, a belief in religion and a strong education.

http://www.facebook.com/vickielmusgrove Vickie Lynn Milner-Musgrove

The government can’t make up for strong family values, a belief in religion and a strong education because they don’t want the black citizens to achieve anything. They don’t want them living in their communities or dating their sons and daughters. They want them poor, living in ghettos and depending on the government for their needs. Al Sharpton and the likes are part of the problem and not the solution. These values must be taught by responsible black leaders in their communities, schools and churches.

Obama and Sharpton are responsible for black unemeployment – that and the fact that so few Blacks value education as a means of bettering themselves. (Of course the public schools aren’t a real means of education. They are a means of indoctrination supporting a socailistic state.)

http://www.facebook.com/people/Carol-Sowell/1518402019 Carol Sowell

Unfortunately, the Federal Indoctrination centers, aka, the federal public school system hurts ALL students, but for some reason blacks an hispanics seem to have less incentive to continue school when they should want more education to, as you say, better themselves. Carter moved education from the purview of States rights to the federal government and created a cabinet position for it in 1979 and although education was bad then, it is now exponentially worse. Abolish the dept of Education and give it back to the states where it rightfully belongs according our Constitution.
- http://twitter.com/commonsensemind Lo Wa
  
  Education started the downhill run, when the government required started requiring ESL classes, and no child left behind. Since that time, kids are passed from grade to grade, whether they met the requirements to pass or not. Can’t let them fail, or it will damage their little psyches. So now we have a bunch of lazy, uneducated adults running loose, who don;t have the skills necessary to flip a burger or make change for a dollar, without a computer to tell them how to do it! More unearned equality!

I am so sick and tired of EVERYTHING being a racial issue!! Stop segregating yourselves with comments and actions like these. You are either an American citizen or not. Color is not the issue. You act as if you are owed something. You get what you work for. Your President is the man to look to for your problems, not the Republicans. I think the real issue is you all thought by voting in a man of color you would get vip treatment! But you get what all the rest of us get. There are not small print messages that say “unless you are Black or Spanish”. You segregate yourselves by demanding something better than the rest of us. We are all in the same boat here. If you see that some one else is receiving more than you maybe you should change your tactics and go about it legally, and stop receiving benefits fraudulently. I personally am tired of paying for others to have numerous kids, not work, get all the free help they want and not earn a dime of it!

http://www.facebook.com/people/Carol-Sowell/1518402019 Carol Sowell

Sorry. You got that wrong in a big way. There are at least two reasons there are no jobs for some minorities. Poor education and a lack of initiative on the part of parents to hold the schools accountable, which hurts ALL children, not just blacks, and the other is the policies of this president who knows virtually NOTHING about job creation. He is an “academic” if you want to call him that and a community organizer, he is NOT presidential material. And it is doubtful that anyone in his administration ever created a job or had to make payroll, even if it meant the owner didn’t get paid that week. He uses text book ideas to “fix” the economy, instead of real life solutions. The only two things he’s good at are campaigning, and the next is debatable, playing golf.

No jobs for black men, because black women have babies with them, get jobs to support the kids and their men too, instead of being selective about who and what they breed with so the child has two productive parents.

I haven’t had health insurance for going on 3 yrs. because the cost is too great for my wife and I, about 100 dollars a week. And since it is a company funded insurance, they pick and choose what they want to cover. Ingrown nails not being one of them.

he is so stupid public sector jobs have gone up not down and the unemployment rate is 14.3 per cent which is higher than under bush and since the democrats run the senate and the white house how is it the republicans fault . also blacks need to study the history of both parties it was the republicans who freed the slaves and tried to stop the spread of slavery not the democrats and it was the democrats which controlled the southern states from the time of reconstruction to 1980 who made the jim crow laws and did everything in their power to suppress blacks . one other note that you wont hear brother jessie or brother al mention. martin luther king was a republican not a democrat .

http://www.facebook.com/myrtiss.cunnienleslie Myrtiss Cunnien Leslie

You are so right about Martin Luther King. He was a good man and a Republican not a Democrat. Democrats have always ruled the south and tried to repress the blacks, which was and is wrong. If people took the time to really study history, they would soon realise that those that opposed the Dems. usually ended up dead. Let’s see now. HMMM!!! Lincoln, he freed the slaves and was murdered, Pres. Kennedy even tho he was a Dem. went against the party and said,” Don’t ask what my country can do for me, ask what can I do for my country.” Murdered, Bobby Kennedy ,hmm, murdered. Martin Luther King, hmmm, Murdered. Makes one wonder doesn’t it!!

  I agree, Dr King was a man this nation could be proud of, as opposed to Obama, Sharpton, Farrakahn, Rev Wright, Jessie Jackson Jr and his wife, and all the other race card dealers. But blacks prefer the Democratic Party, because it’s the one that promises all the toys, like Santa Claus.

Maybe that’s why so many blacks are Democrats. They want back back on the plantations, where they are beaten into submission and forced to work. Could that be it?

Wait a minute! Sharpton is NOT a leader in the Black Community. The State Run Media, has declared him to be one of our leaders just like the rest of our so-called “Leaders.

http://www.facebook.com/giovanna.delapaz.18 Giovanna De La Paz

Mr. Sharpton, How can you segregate the GOP jobs from the Demo jobs sir? Are you saying that only the GOP is creating jobs? That part may be true, ’cause Democrats only seem to know government employment. But, sir I can answer your question, it’s because they don’t have SKILLS. 50% of blacks drop out of school by age 16. Those dropouts do not continue getting training for skilled jobs. I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you and Jesse Jackson, both of which have made a ton of money off the black community, reinvest some of that money and start a job training school in these communities., so these people can get the necessary skills needed to get decent jobs.

http://www.facebook.com/myrtiss.cunnienleslie Myrtiss Cunnien Leslie

You are absolutely correct. Why don’t these public figures, who spend all their time dividing and causing rifts, spend their hard stolen money educating the young blacks of their communities and provide them the skills to rise above what society has come to expect from them?

Some of the responces and comments i’ve read are just as sad, sill, unfounded, as Mr Sharptons are.

What would they do if anyone were to say ” Okay, I am racist” now what? Gets really old hearing this lame excuse and has become a crutch for the black race to lean on. Not the majority of them, just those who really do hate white people, hmm, does that make them a RACIST? Well I’ll be darned.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and others that believe like these individuals do, will add to the unemployment numbers if racism ever stops. They invest in racism, not the private sector job market.

  I think he’s talking about the Republican Governors who are cutting jobs as part of cutting their state governments down to size. What is really sad is he seems to think they can’t get a job on their own so the government needs to give them a job. There are a lot of jobs out there, but people like Sharpton and Obama have a dream that no American would work in a factory or on an oil rig, do construction or get their hands dirty.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong…….Black unemployment is down because jobs are scarce and for some reason blacks arent looking for work. I believe that many blacks have the mind set that they can live off the teat of the government. They will halfheartedly seek employment to the guise of satisfying any State requirement to continue receipt of welfare.
If you really want to work there is work to be found. Sitting on your butt watching TV or playing games is not looking for gainful employment.

    Obama is of the opinion that no one can get along without the government handout, and if you think about it, he’s been on the government teat since he graduated from his government provided (college grants that he got claiming he was a foreign born student), working as a community organizer then working his way into politics and up to Illinois Senator, which he quit work at to run for president, at which time his buddy Blagoyovich (sp) tried to auction off his senate seat to the highest bidder. So Obama, is just another of those “blacks” that doesn’t want to work and thinks he’s entitled to suck off the government teat for the rest of his life!

  Darrall, take a look on any inner city street corner, in any Walmart or Kmart, in any public place and you’ll see them there, most with their pants hanging off their behinds, swearing like they don’t have any better words to use, and tell me, what is up with their inability to say something as simple as ASK? Ignorance abounds, at least in what you SEE. And our perceptions, and prejudices are formed by what we see from any group of people, be it age, ethnicity, language spoke or the color of their skin. The only way to change prejudiced thinking, is to change the behavior of the individual group that is being labeled unfavorably.

Black Unemployment cannot be attributed to the GOP. It can be attributed to idiots like Al Sharpton, who have them believing they are owed something because some of their ancestors were enslaved. Racists like Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and now the Obama’s, are the reason so many blacks have bought into the Plantation Mentality, expecting the “boss” to provide for their needs. There are many very successful black people in this world, so what’s stopping all the others? Laziness, love of drugs and alcohol, involvement in gangs instead of work……those are the problems, and the black leaders and communities promote these things!

      Yes, Jeane Marie they should not be made slaves, but unfortunately they have kept themselves in slavery. One thing that Georgia said that is true is the their own race sold them into slavery (something the history books don’t tell you) But blaming whites, the GOP is their way of not taking responsibility for their lives. It’s much easier to place blame (do I hear Obama), and cry for a free handout than to actually do something with your life!

      I was “Down South” once, in the early ’70s, and racism was alive and well.

I saw it with my own eyes, and I didn’t understand what the issue was.

      Well, a lot has changed since your one visit. If you are like most yankees you still have the perception that it’s the same today as when you once visited. Oh, I forgot to tell you most yankees end up moving to the South the fastest growing part of the nation. It’s because we had to rebuild cities that Sherman burned to the grown. But it’s not so bad, as cities like Charlotte Atlanta and Raleigh have far better infrastructure now than the rust belt you live in. Come visit Charlotte and tell me that it is not a completely different place from what you experienced back in the 70′s. We are a welcoming people of all races and even those born and raised in the North…who are still ignorant as to what has changed in the South!

      I honesty never been in the south, but my Grandfather was from Alabama (southern Dem). He went in the military at 18 and lived the rest of his life on the west coast. He converted to the GOP in his 20′s. He died when I was 6 so I have little memory of him, but he was a good man. I still have family there and the ones I know were never racist that I ever noticed. If you go to leftie blogs they are very racist and hate the south for some reason and southerners are so nice on the blog site, so I know were the nice people are.

      I moved from Orlando to Detroit in 1968 and saw a level of segregation then and for 30 years after in Detroit that was far greater than anywhere in the South.

      You also have to consider the population percentages. Seems to me, the lower the percentage of black in an area, the less the discrimination. I’m NOT going to speculate on why that seems to be the case.

      Look, these people think they have things so hard here, but they should be counting their blessings that their tribes’ chiefs sold their ancestors to the white man, because if they hadn’t been forced to come here, those Americans of African descent, would still be back there sitting in a dirty little town of straw huts. It really wasn’t much different than the European immigrants that sold themselves as bond slaves, for the privilege of coming to America, when they had no money!

  Frank, I can see your point, but I think Sharpton is not particularly “communist” or anything else. You are giving him too much credit for actually being passionate about anything, other than filling his own pockets! He would sell out to the highest bidder, communist or not, don’t you think?
  - http://www.facebook.com/shirley.dunn2 Shirley Dunn
    
    Laura, I agree with you on Sharpton selling out anyone else. I worked at a Historically Black College or University that hired him to come in for a one night event and his fee was $21,000.00. Yep, you read that right $21,000.00 plus expenses for one evening. He took advantage of his own people.

      He’s been USING “his own” all along. You don’t think he’d go out and get a real job, do you?

So we can’t cut ANY government jobs in any state, even states that are bankrupt, because too many blacks work for the public sector. So what, states are just supposed to keep black employed at all costs even if they run out of money? I really am starting to believe in alternate universes.

    Awww, we can’t talk about that, or offer them a free ticket back to their fatherland, or motherland. If they think they have it bad here, with free education, that they don’t take advantage of, and all the other social programs to make their lives easier, let them go back to Africa for a couple of weeks, and live in a rural village, like the one’s their ancestors were bought from, and let them live of the diet of roasted termites and other delicacies their people enjoy, and watch them start coming back to work. By the way, I will apologize for all the very hard working, well educated black people out they, because these comments do not apply to those who are responsible citizens. It’s only for the lazy ones, doing the complaining.

      I think you have that wrong, Martin Luther King wanted colorblindness, I think of him as a visionary, who happened to be black. Sharpton on the other hand is a Black Racist that is able to lead stupid followers, I say stupid because his argument disingenuous, and it doesn’t take much brain power to see it for what it is!

      M L King was a Republican. It was Democrats running the KKK portion of the South. The KKK was a small percentage of Southerns but had assymetrical power similar to Al Sharpton. No Republican was elected to hardly anything in the Segregated South for almost 100 years after Reconstruction. It wasn’t until Lyndon Johnston realized he could buy black votes did the modern day Democrat “lock” in the Black Vote really take off.

You are so right, Lo Wa, but what you are saying will never be said “outloud” due to PC and this is what is killing our nation. It is TRAGIC! Al Sharpton is just duping his “own” people so he can be a wealthy man for no good reason. He is a total jerk, the worst of the worst.

  Al should start with the Obama program and give back what he has taken from the blacks.. He should be in these families face making them see they need to get education, college, look around many have done it. so can you. You have to want to.. So Al start some programs with your money, to help people in the bad section of town, Al, Jessie go help the people that made you rich!!!..

    Oh, come on! College diplomas aren’t worth the paper they are written on, and the debt incurred to get those papers is ridiculous! What we, as a country need, is high schools that teach good vocational programs so graduates are job ready, instead of in need of more, expensive education. We used to have two educational paths in this country: college prep or vocational. If you knew what you wanted to do as an adult, and that profession required a college degree, say and architect, doctor, lawyer…..something that required specialized higher education, you took college prep classes, that included math, science 4 years of English, 2 of a foreign language. If on the other hand, you had no lofty goals, and just wanted a job to pay the bills, or were planning to be a stay at home wife and mother, you took vocational training. We need ti get back to dual education programs like that, because we will always need lower level service and hospitality people, clerks in stores, people to answer phones and take orders. Those jobs do not require a college degree!

  Seriously!?! This is why I get such a way-to-go about being a Tea Party Supporter. People on both sides are drinkin’ the Stero-Type kool Aid. So as a business owner, manager of businesses, business coach, NCOIC, and supervisor … if I report to you JUST the bad White people that have worked for me or that I have supervised, would that mean that ALL white employees are bad hires??? As a Business Coach and fello business owner, I would suggest that you examine [and maybe seek HR coaching] your hiring protocols. Because if you are suggesting that ONLY Black Amaricans ["A/A people"] would accept a job just for the pay check and not give an honest day’s effort in return, then you are clearly limited in your experience of the “A/A people”. The responsibilty for hiring the right people for the job [which will have NOTHING to do with the persons color ... kinda like saying that ''only a man can get the job done right''.] is yours.

    Oh, I’m sure he isn’t saying that. In fact, the better part of the younger generation fall into that category, at least the ones in the lower skill level range. Work ethic is falling by the wayside, and it’s sad to say, but that’s why so many jobs have left the country.

  I have also hired Blacks. And, in every case, they were the worst employees I had. And, when you then need to terminate them, they scream racism. No more, I do not hire them anymore.

Very true.

Has anyone noticed this poor excuse for a man can not string words together into a sentence, nor can he string two sentences together. And where I a originally from (NY) minority (?) owned businesses are given preference over white male owned businesses for ALL state contracts. So not only is he stupid, but also wrong. When I have two potential employees in front of me, the one with his pants around his ankles and tattoos usually gets passed up for the one that doesn’t. And to tell the truth, it is easier to find a white kid that fits the latter description than the former. Oh well.

I am so very pleased that someone has has the courage to stand
up and tell the truth. Amen.
