[Blackout]

You don't have to be black and the percentage is "Not actively looking for work" is extremely high.

The article said black people

Not actively looking for work my ass. Everybody wants to eat.

1. I know what the article says.
2. You are confusing not wanting to work to not actively looking for work.

 

[Micky Mikey]

And still some blacks need some "convincing" that we are in a state of crisis.

Bullshyt numbers.
There's about 40million blacks in the US (including children) and this shyt says over 12million isn't looking for work? High schoolers, college students and seniors are included!

Cybercast News Service (also known as CNSNews.com) is a conservative American news website founded by L. Brent Bozell III

No wonder these made up numbers come from a conservative cac website owned by a discredited racist like Bozell.
This is the same website that spread the Obama is an anti-American muslim born in Kenya crap for years.

"When you don't own your businesses in your neighborhood or any business period you can't hire your young people. They have to leave the community and beg outsiders for work, but they're not gonna hire them"- Claude Anderson

Yea I spent age 16-18 working my ass off at a car wash being treated like shyt, fukked up my college application process and everything.

So I can understand labor participation being low, that shytty car wash job is what they want people my age and older doing, screw that. I can totally understand why someone would not want to work.

The lesson I take though is skills are important. Skills are the difference between the min wage I made then and the decent pay im getting now. Skills are the difference between begging for jobs and being sought out on linkedin.

We used to know this.

I noticed that our resident coliliberals are avoidng this thread like ebola

Overall black unemployment rate hit 20% during the heyday of your favorite cac, alzheimer riddled, white nationalist, bedtime for bonzo Ronald Reagan Administration.

 

[hashmander]

yeah they are going to conveniently ignore that big spike around 07-10 and not see that's a big ass hole to climb out. bu bu bu obama is black (or half black as they will want to point out) he should have dug faster.

And 71000 thousand whites not in the labor force. That's not a record though?
