Unemployment among black men: Hope and Change

Some paragraphs are too delicious to paraphrase. From TheBlogProf:

“The nationwide jobless rate has been holding steady right around the 10% mark, except for black men. For that group, the unemployment rate went up from 17% last November to 19% now. And here in Michigan it is at 26%. More than 1 in 4. Since last summer, the unemployment rate in liberal Utopia Detroit has been hovering around 30%. All of the above numbers of course do not count those that timed out of unemployment benefits, gave up on looking, or are underemployed. Thus begs the question: how’s that stimulus working out for all you Obama voters? The hopey changey? Make no mistake – this isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. This is exactly what the misnamed stimulus boondoggle was supposed to do. Not create or save jobs, which it didn’t do, but rather to save or create government dependency, which it did. The Democrats have a vested interest in maintaining and expanding as much as possible a victim class that will continue to vote for the very people that are the cause of their misery.

Go read his entire article. But let this sink in: “The Democrats have a vested interest in maintaining and expanding as much as possible a victim class that will continue to vote for the very people that are the cause of their misery.” Preach it, Brother!
