How will blacks feed their families? lol stop with the fake drama it isn't working.
The Black UE rate is around 6.5% Explain to everyone here why black UE was lower than white UE up until the 1920's? We're more racist now? Try walking without that crutch.
The overall UE rate is 2.5 points less than the black UE rate. Meaning 2.5 out of 100. You think that small difference is related to racism? lol It couldnt be the fact that other groups are more educated and have more work experience could it?
That study must have been taken over 150 years ago.....you know....when discrimination and such against blacks ended. What does that have to do, therefore, with TODAY, where the playing field is equal and laws prevent discrimination against blacks?
Here is another article from the 1850's about what blacks were going through back then.
Some where you see anger in what I write....when I am exuding none.....which means that you must be projecting your own (anger). Does it anger you that some black people say whites have caused the differential between white socioeconomic and blacks?
I wish you well in your move back to Africa my brother

Why is the black UE rate at 6.5 and the over all rate is 3.9 if racism is prevelant? It couldn't be the fact that jobs go to people with a higher education and better work experience could it?
But the 2.5 person difference out of 100 means America is very racist and it's holding blacks down, right?

That’s the title of the article which you clearly did not read. Stay on topic and stop attempting to shift the discussion and put words in other posters’ mouths. Explain the statistics in the articles.
The reality is that many whites are hypocritical. They complain about criminal behavior in blacks while rewarding white criminal behavior rather than hiring law-abiding high school graduates who are black. Imagine that you can be white and commit a felony and be given a chance over the honest, hard-working black man. Then other whites will come to your defense and claim that the white felons must be more educated and have more work experience...so hire the criminal over the law-abiding citizen.

Slaves had jobs....the question is how much were they PAID relative to whites. Hence, the question is not JOBS....but PAY (the rate of).
The white rate of UE is 3.5...so the black rate is STILL nearly double the rate of whites
Is there a detailed breakdown between the types of crimes committed? Aren't black felons generally ones who have committed violent crimes, but white felons tend towards white collar crimes?
Then I also wonder if of the white ex-felons getting hired more, they had help finding a job through family and friends pulling strings for them, being their references etc... And maybe the black ex-felons didn't have that sort of supportive network.
So IMO less about employers being racist, and more about the ex-felons having a strong support network to these companies for getting hired.
Thanks for the snide comment. I have several posts here but was not going to go back and look through 30 (edit: 50) some pages.
Looks like the study was done in Milwaukee and NYC. Perhaps the white people in those cities are racist. Perhaps they have other reasons. I don't live anywhere near those places and would never want to.
You should take it up with the racist white people there. Those are very liberal cities by the way.
There is nothing snide about the comment. You asked for the cites and they had already been posted. The information has been provided to you.
Furthermore, who is talking about you? You wanted proof that the information existed. People here keep talking about the “black community” all over the country so then address these issues within the “white community.”

What is being discussed is the hiring of white FELONS over blacks with NO CRIMINAL RECORD. There is no excuse of white felons being hired over law-abiding black citizens. Period.
I think the OP is ignoring an obvious fact. Much of the disparity between blacks and whites is related to life choices. In the inner city many more people CHOOSE to use drugs, commit crimes to support their drug habit and embrace a life of violence. The ghetto is a culture upon itself, many of its residents do not want it changed. They like it the way it is and resent those who do more than offer them free stuff. Even though it is these folks who choose a life of ignorance, crime and drugs they still blame white people for their plight. This divisive environment where blacks blame whites for all their ills, condemn whites for everything they have ever done and expect whites to engage in everlasting penetance for slavery and Jim Crow is damaging race relations in a way that could take decades to undo the damage. Any liberal who doesn’t think white people (who still are the majority) have not become angry and resentful are delusional. Donald Trump was elected because people wanted to see the race card holders, the politically correct and the social justice warriors put back in their place. The whole perception of black people as perpetual victims of white injustice is just part of the great division between the leftists and the traditional conservatives that is threatening to tear our country apart. Those waving the race card (as well as the socialist, feminist, atheists, and gay activists) will be responsible for a coming civil war that will damage our nation beyond fixing. We are no longer a united people. White people are done apologizing and tired of being demonized. Much of America is tired of squawking social justice warriors. No more.
The sad thing is that white people, at least most white people are not the racists that many blacks think we are. In fact most black people live no different than anyone else. They are our neighbors, coworkers, friends etc. My point is most black people do not come from inner city ghettos. Why do people who commit crime and choose unproductive lives get to speak for an entire race? I would rather hear from black people who have been contributing to society than those who do not. We do not see white people who live in trailer parks and collect welfare representing the white race do we? Why on earth do ghetto dwellers have such sway over black culture and politics? Why? It makes no sense.
