lol fordlover, but they will stand behind him because he's a brother. Nothing like voting a guy a second time that talks the talk but can't walk the walk.

The most staggering statistic is reported in September 2011, when black unemployment reached 16.7 percent — making it the highest unemployment rate for African-Americans since 1983. The black teens jobless rate was even more staggering at 39.3 percent in July 2012.

NAACP CEO and president, Ben Jealous, told the show’s host that black Americans “are doing far worse” than when President Obama first took office. “The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” Jealous told show host David Gregory. “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.”

OhBummer can't take all the credit. Other so-called "presidents" also helped create the situation, by throwing open America's borders, and by setting up a welfare state which encourages the proliferation of idiots and discourages reproduction by those capable of maintaining an advanced society.

In other words, the white-to-brown ratio is being wrecked. We're running low on white people to give stuff to brown people.

I'm brown, myself. And I've got sense enough to know that everything I've got, I've got because White People helped me, either directly or indirectly. My "own people" haven't done diddly for me. White ladies (practically the only whites in our school and rural 'community') encouraged me to go to college. They helped me with the applications, and the scholarships. They bought me my suitcase, and the things that went into it. Then, one of them drove me up to school. All out of the goodness of their hearts.

Whites built the college, and funded the scholarships. They made the laws that gave me preferential treatment as a Native American. And all along my way up the ladder, their generosity and helpfulness has been a constant.

Problem is, there aren't enough of them to go around, anymore. The ratio is all messed-up, and getting worse. OhBummer is just the bullet-proof hatchet man delivering the final blows to what used to be America. The Kennedys started the destruction with their immigration act. Perverted exhibitionist Lyndon Johnson kept the ball rolling with his "Great Society". And Baby Bush did unimaginable damage to the nation.

I really wish I didn't have to dilute the blame. But OhBummer didn't do it all. But yes. His ineptitude has created a depression in which companies and even government agencies can no longer afford their dead weight Affirmative Action hires. When you're totally out of money, the threat of lawsuits becomes rather a hollow threat.

See, your story confuses me. I've been told by all my liberal friends that all whites are biggoted racists. Why were white people helping you when they are all racist, pig headed, self interested, rich kids who wouldn't even pee on a minority if they were on fire.

If it is true that the wealth gap has widened, maybe it is true that the wealthy people are just recovering A LOT faster than the poor? Of course because the stock exchange has always been seen as early indicator of economic spikes. You are completely correct.

I heard that white employers throw away black applications.
