Seriously, I understand this economy is tough for everyone, but it is especially rough for black men of all ages. I know most of you will give excuse after excuse, or say that they do hire minorities. With a rate of close to 20% usemployment, I would like some answers from because this is unacceptable. We can not have most black men relying on major private sector companies for employment. It does begin at the bottombwith small business's so all of you white small business owners be honest why would you not hire a qualified black man to do the job.
Possibly because so many have the accusatory "you" vs "us" attitude so aptly demonstrated in your post. No where in your post do you mention what skills you have to offer an employer. All you write about is what the rest of the world owes you.
If you want a job, you need to adopt a better attitude.

Why did you assume I needed a job? Do you think the reason it is so difficult for black men to get employment is because people like you... specifically the interviewer assumes and has biases.
If you had a job, you wouldn't have posted about this topic.

Blaming me for your problems isn't going to solve them either. Do you see Barack Obama complaining about how white people have held him back?

Yep, i have a universal bias against all applicants and for myself--I only care about what they can offer me. I don't give a **** if their skin is white, black, olive, brown or rainbow colored. I didn't get a free ride and I don't give them.

Anyway, is there a reason why white folks are hesitant to hire black men.

What is it with you white people always deflecting the question. It is like you act like racism does not play a role. why do you think unemployment is high in the AA community. Everyone is so afraid to tackle this issue. This is the reason why it's a problem. because peeps like most of you avoid it, thinking everything is ok, when it really isn't.

Is this something you have experienced personally Or do you have facts and numbers to back it up? Just curious?
Maybe the reason why so many AAs are unemployed are because of lack of higher education???

I am getting sick of everything framed in the face of race and I just don't care anymore.
You want the truth? Very few can handle the truth but here it is.
Maybe it is because there are so few qualified applicants?
