First, your argument is with the National Urban League whose data I cited.<br /><br />Second, the post from was from 2008 and the data on black employment in particular is even worse today. <br /><br />Sorry if you're offended, but the truth often has that affect.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-60458951683405451242012-09-08T09:38:28.814-07:002012-09-08T09:38:28.814-07:00What a crock of bull.

Perhaps you work with some people who are lazy, who happen to be black but you chose to condemn a whole race because of it. So there are not any lazy white people? Five out every ten people who are not black could be lazy as well.Shekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08401835264681317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-61204349237384677352009-12-30T18:43:24.930-08:002009-12-30T18:43:24.930-08:00As the poster pointed out after over one hundred f...As the poster pointed out after over one hundred fifty years of providing special treatment for blacks they have blown the chance. They then continue to demand more and more special laws and treatment in employment and complain they do not have the same opportunity as non blacks. What a crock of bull! I have personally seen the results of affimative action in the federal government jobs. There are more deadbeat employees in federal employment than in any other place on earth. The non black community is sick and tired of hearing that blacks have less opportunity. They have had their opportunity and have shown by majority what they can do. The results are crime, high unemployment among blacks, lack of motivation to work at getting ahead unless someone hands them the chance. Generally a lazy segment of our population that continues to demand more and provide less as a result. Blacks I have worked with are opportunists in general, some are good but that is about 5 to 10%. The rest are useless and looking for a handout or looking to get out of work.Ohbrother67https://www.blogger.com/profile/10572683705970536351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15727885049670657432008-03-21T15:00:00.000-07:002008-03-21T15:00:00.000-07:00Sharpton and Jackson get a pass for some reason.

Jackson has run what appears to be a shakedown, getting funding for Operation Push by telling donors that he will tell people they are discriminating against blacks, etc.<BR/><BR/>These two race baiters know how to work the media and vice-versa, so they are regretably too often seen as the voice of black America. That, in my opinion, is absurd.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-56502672924901109062008-03-21T11:26:00.000-07:002008-03-21T11:26:00.000-07:00And are Al Shaprton and Jesse Jackson exceptions a...And are Al Shaprton and Jesse Jackson exceptions as well? Those two guys reap more cash in from the ACLU and NAACP from the Civil Rights Act than anyone else on earth. And for some reason they still have more and more predjudices. Sharpton has also been convicted of tax evasion and yet he still gets paid to go visit Jena and trumpet around his fat face in thousand dollar suits.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339900368319152625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-67871248212283480142008-03-19T15:30:00.000-07:002008-03-19T15:30:00.000-07:00Yee gads, last week you wanted to bomb Iran, Longs...Yee gads, last week you wanted to bomb Iran, Longstreet.

Obama is an exception to the general condition of black America and has benefitted from all the efforts made to open the doors of opportunity to him.<BR/><BR/>I knew many such exceptions whom I greatly admire. <BR/><BR/>The ability to make a good speech, however, is not the same as the skills needed to run a great nation.<BR/><BR/>I won't argue Bush's merits because I have written extensively of my criticisms of his administration, but neither will I buy into the notion that Obama has the experience or qualifications to be President.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15405442891664671752008-03-19T08:14:00.000-07:002008-03-19T08:14:00.000-07:00Obama's speech "A More Perfect Union" was just bri...Obama's speech <A HREF="http://www.jabberwonk.com/flinker.cfm?cliid=1lxipd" REL="nofollow">"A More Perfect Union"</A> was just brilliant. Most impressive was his ability stand with one foot in his White heritage and the other in his Black heritage and speak frankly about race in a way neither a Black or White man ever could.<BR/><BR/>Even more impressive for me, is that after 8 years with a slack-jawed dufus in the Whitehouse, we can look forward to not only a President that can string a 6 word sentence together without drooling on himself, but he can actually WRITE such an elequent speech.<BR/><BR/>That's right - <A HREF="http://www.jabberwonk.com/flinker.cfm?cliid=cqpw5" REL="nofollow">Obama wrote that speech he gave</A>. By Himself. This speech, being lauded over by both critics and pundits alike as "Historical", was written by Senator Obama. He gets it. Without being told what to say and think by polls and advisors - he really gets it.<BR/><BR/>The man is impressive and uniquely qualified to lead our country in these Dark times.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097986667275941890noreply@blogger.com
