					<description><![CDATA[This is outrageous that black employment is so high today. I&#039;m a 26 year old black male that watches the news constantly, browses the web constantly to stay updated on political information and this issue is &quot;not an issue&quot;. All I see is quick snippets once a month that talks about black unemployment. President Obama hasn&#039;t said a word about black unemployment since 2009 that is ridiculous. There is 150 million whites in the country, 52 million latinos, 37 million blacks. Whites have an unemployment rate of 8%, latinos 11%, blacks 16%. 

Now you would think that the unemployment rate for the group with the highest population would have the highest unemployment rate but it&#039;s the total opposite. Society says that black men are lazy they don&#039;t want to work all they want to do is buy shoes, play basketball, rap and not go to school. I&#039;ve met thousands of black people some were drug dealers, drop outs, rappers and basketball players, and let me say this nobody wants to sell drugs as a career and not every black guy that plays basketball thinks he&#039;s going to the NBA. The problem is that the jobs that provide a liveable wage aren&#039;t open to black males. 

As a black man with no college degree the jobs that are available to you are McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, KFC and etc. Now there is NOTHING wrong with working at any of these places its just the fact is these low wages pays for &quot;NOTHING&quot;. I&#039;m from Michigan and I&#039;ve known plenty of white guys a lot of my friends are white and what I&#039;ve seen over the years is that it doesn&#039;t matter if you went to college are not if your white you well find a descent job. I got white friends that never went to college, has a criminal record and is still able to land a job in construction or labor area making $18-$20 an hr at the age of 21. I mean these white guys are working making money. When I drive by a construction site anywhere in Michigan thats all I see is white men and even white women working these jobs. Everytime I see a Comcast employee, any kind of heating &#038; cooling job, guys working on the telephone poles, are fooling around with electrical boxes somewhere these employees everytime is white. But let me guess black people don&#039;t apply at these jobs, or we get the job and call off. 

You know this country kills me now their talking about President Obama got ahead in life because he is black. Let me say this I&#039;ve never met anyone black that said their about to get ahead in life because im black, that&#039;s the most hypocritical stuff I&#039;ve ever heard. Almost anything in this country that doesn&#039;t sit well with white people gets put into the limelight let me give you some examples the healthcare issue, people of color have been losing healthcare coverage for years, the JOBS white unemployment over the years was always at stable 5% for blacks we&#039;ve been in the double digits for decades, but when their number jumps up 3% they lose their mind, this whole bullying issue with the schools I&#039;m not trying to sound crude and my heart goes out to the parents of kids that ended their lives, but at the sametime bullying has been an issue in black in latino communities for years. In these bad neighborhoods around the country a lot of young kids can&#039;t even walk down the street without wearing a certain color on their body, but America is blind to that. I can go on and on about the inequalities of this country but I don&#039;t have that much time in my life to that, and with the way things are going it&#039;s starting to not become a black and white problem, it&#039;s more so a rich and poorer problem. 

Thats what everybody in this country needs to wake up and realize that the rich doesn&#039;t give a damn about color, except for green. Thats the America we live in today it&#039;s a shame that President Obama doesn&#039;t take time deal with this black unemployment issue, I hope he does everyone in this country has the same oppurtunity as everyone else this country would flourish, it&#039;s 2011 and we need to be thinking about the future we are definately falling behind the rest of the world. I hope I didn&#039;t offend anyone with this comment if I did I sincerely apologize, it&#039;s just I am so sick tired of hearing bad news about this country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Black men are an indangered species now. We always have been. But now that we are officially in the last days; when Satan&#039;s antichrist beast is wreaking havoc on the whole worlds unemployment; we have to trust Jesus Christ and His Almighty Father more than ever. And as they are New World Order globalist are trying to march us into World War 3; we have to have a greater level of faith to go through these coming end-time storms. Storms that Satan is sending to take away our faith; and except his coming Mark fo the Beast chip that is spoken about in the holy bible, in Revelation 13 and 14. Especially in Revelation 14:9-11, that says that if we take that Mark (chip) we will be tormented day and night without rest. Why? Because it will mean that we have joined and sided with Lucifer and his antichrist leader and leaders.

But those of us who are martyred for Jesus and for not taking their zombie making and mind controlling mark of the beast chip shall be greatly rewarded when Jesus and His mighty angels returns and conquers the antichrist kingdom and forces in hours. And our reward will be living like kings and queens on the renovated and beautified Earth; after the Great Judgment Day.]]></description>
