It's about fixing the economy (difficult, with GOP opposition) and providing jobs. I don't see GOP employers here rushing to offer work to African Americans.
I don't see Liberal employers here rushing to offer work to African Americans either. How come?

How is GOP opposition hampering jobs?

What is Obama doing to fix the economy?

Unemployment increased last month. That is proof that Obama's plans are making things worse.

And contrary to popular belief, most minorities are smart enough to know that the President does not just flip a switch and out come jobs.

And it does not help that Romney make it clear that the wealthy will benefit most from his economic policy.



In simple terms, minorities are less whiners and more doers, in sharp contrast to the Republicans.
.
Then how come Obama's policies have minorities living at above 10% unemployment?

Good thing Obama is on their side.

Most employers are not concerned about curing social issues or minority unemployment, employers are concerned about making a profit. Shocking right??

I'm curious how you draw a direct link between Obama and minority unemployment.

I'm also curious why you think the low income minorities should blame Obama and not the bosses who outsourced jobs to China.

Maybe Obama is trying to emulate Reagan, unemployment rate for Blacks reached almost 20% under Reagan,

Oh snap, end of troll thread.

That's Liberal BS.

Liberal BS? Have you missed the GOP primary? Let me present to you what the front runners said:

Quote:
"I don't want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money." - Rick Santorum


"Why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps." - Newt Gingrich
It's ok to say that not everyone in the GOP is a racist wingnut, but to pretend that some in the party didn't treat minorities unfairly (to put it mildly) is simply ignorant of reality (and makes you look more like another wingnut).
