And what are the unemployment rates for blacks again? And what are the unemployment rates for blacks between the ages of 18 to 30? Chumps. Obama just gave away any chance for them to find jobs -- and you can believe it's going to a whole lot more than 800,000 illegals lining up for their nice new work visas.
My concern BTW is for the American people. Obama has sold out the American people -- some pretty expensive votes there for himself.
So what do you think the response would be if the president all of sudden just "gave' jobs to black people?
Would you support his efforts or would it be some sort of affirmative action writ large?
And why keep insisting on pitting one group against another as the author of the article does?
Some people are intelligent enough and rational enough to understand that exhibiting cruelty and unfairness towards one group makes it that much easier to do the same to another.
By race and income, blacks, Hispanics and teens in lower-income families were least likely to be employed in summer jobs. The figure was 14 percent for African-American teens when their family income was less than $40,000 a year, compared to 44 percent of white teens with family income of $100,000-$150,000. Hispanics in families making less than $40,000 also faced difficulties (19 percent employed), while middle-class black teens with family income of $75,000-$100,000 did moderately better, at 28 percent employed.
You don't have a clue do you. Liberals hate the unemployed? You got it backwards. Posters like you just don't like the dark folk. As a right-winger you value corporate profit very highly, this partly defines the present-day Right. Therefore, like I said, conservative corporations love the dirt cheap labor because the illegal is more obedient- get it? The illegal lives in fear of being exposed and deported, and companies know it. Repubs historically do nothing about illegal aliens except complain. Guess why?
Here's an idea - let's perp-walk people who hire them.

I do find it real sad so many of our "Black" posters here on CDF don't care about other Blacks who can't find work cause of the millions of illegal aliens in the US.
I have a huge problem with illegal aliens too and I ain't Black.
While Blacks may have higher unemployment rates, this is not a Black or White issue. There are plenty of Americans out of work. Why do "you people" keep acting like you are immune to unemployment, foreclosure and homelessness? The illegals replaced what used to be a primarily White construction industry until the housing market went bust. They also replaced predominantly white factory workers as well. The DREAMies will soon replace whites in what used to be considered predominantly white middle class jobs.
Just because they are not all over CD talking about the elections you can't assume that Blacks will or won't even bother to vote. At the end of the day nobody knows how Blacks will vote or if they will come out in droves to vote in November.
More,"I'm white and know what's better for you than you do yourself"..aka..."We hate Obama, please help us get rid of him".
Okay -- just stop complaining and whining about lack of opportunities for your people when you prove you're more about playing politics than getting anything done. You really don't give a damn how much damage Obama is doing to the less fortunate. So let them be clowns and go out and reelect the guy even if he's done absolutely zilch for them. Chumps.

Yes, it would be important for white and black Americans to come together for a change, especially when the fate of all Americans is at serious risk, but some really do not care what becomes of Americans, especially if they can make a race issue somehow out of it.
Some would rather see Obama sell all Americans down the river -- because if a liberal democrat is destroying Americans it's all good.

Yep, and while you're believing that you might as well believe them tax cuts for the wealthy will help the working poor. "IT'S ABOUT THE JOBS" really, EVERY TIME the wealthy get tax cut they create tons of jobs, (sarcasm off)
OP, you are correct that blacks are the ones most affected from illegal immigration, but don't expect blacks in large numbers to vote for the GOP any time soon. Obama can come out and say that he hates black people with a passion and they'll still vote for him. That or they'll stay home, they won't vote for a Republican unless 50% of GOP politicians are black

Exactly. As far as I'm concerned they are all in bed together. As long as both parties stay in bed with the corporate masters, they'll be fine. The rest of us? Not so much.
