In the bold. I've been saying that over and over. Few people seem to listen. Blacks have had worse unemployment rates than anyone else in the nation, no matter who the president is.
Yes, the latest is just another Fox talking point offered up out of desperation - a dogwhistle to its white dinosaur base. Such garbage always prompts at least one whole new thread.

I did not confirm how "liberals" think. I confirmed how most people think, the title was false, own up to it.
Food stamps under Obama? Welfare under Obama? Who is responsible for creating and passing jobs bills?
Who in Congress is blocking all proposed jobs bills?
Whose voting base supports outsourcing jobs and who opposes all legislation designed to reverse that practice?
Obama runs Congress now? Sounds like "fair and balanced" Fox reporting to me.
Jobs bill? That doesn't mean any of those jobs would go to blacks -- keep in mind, Obama and the liberals intend to add 11 to 30 million illegals to the legal labor pool and are promising them family reunification so that they can start hauling in all their long lost loved ones to compete with Americans for any jobs being created.
It's been that way prior to Obama being in office, so what's your point?
Why does it matter for people like you? Obama's economic policies could preside over 80% black unemployment, and you would still shrug it off, and go back to waving your pom-poms.
That's about how the Obama supporters see it. Who cares if people are suffering, and out of work for years at a time, as long as they can get scraps from the table, with Welfare and Food Stamps. It reminds me of the scene from A Christmas Carol.
First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
Ebenezer: Are there no prisons?
First Collector: Plenty of prisons.
Ebenezer: And the union workhouses - are they still in operation?
First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not.
Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I'm very glad to hear it.
First Collector: I don't think you quite understand us, sir. A few of us are endeavoring to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth.
Ebenezer: Why?
First Collector: Because it is at Christmastime that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. Now what can I put you down for?
Ebenezer: Huh! Nothing!
Second Collector: You wish to be anonymous?
Ebenezer: [firmly, but calmly] I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me what I wish sir, that is my answer. I help to support the establishments I have named; those who are badly off must go there.

Republicans who had total control under GWB and at other times, have always complained loudly about immigration policy, and then did nothing. Why? They value it only as an election-time wedge issue. That is why it's a RW issue now under Obama. You only know what Fox tells you and nothing more.
According to the Homeland Security Office of Immigration Statistics, the unauthorized immigrant population is about 11 million, people who are already in the near-third-world wage level labor pool.
Conservative republicons do not care about illegal immigration reform, because their base might have to start paying a competitive wage. Their past inaction and current media braying and bellowing on the issue says it all. It is phony posturing based only on the fact that a Democrat is in the White House.
And again, why would a right-winger like yourself not want to create jobs? Why would you use such a lame excuse for supporting the repub obstruction of jobs legislation in Congress? Amazing...

Okay, I'll put this question to you.
As a good card-carrying liberal/democrat-hating conservative, why do you support outsourcing jobs, blocking Democratic job-creation initiatives in Congress, opposing legislation like the "bring jobs home" act, then say stuff akin to "liberals want people to suffer and keep them out of work"? This seems like a strange, hypocritical, and dishonest agenda on your part, no?

This question doesn't make any sense in a global economy. Unless of course one supports creating artificial economic barriers such as tariffs, and taxpayer subsidized incentives. Either way, Americans (not just AAs) lose in the long run.
