Actually its probably close to that now.
That's not an exact quote, but it's darn close. Wish I could remember who said it....
Race issues? Spare me. They need to fix their culture.
DUMMY!
Disregard all the phoney “out of the workforce”, “disabled”, and “extended” unemployed—and it is well above that figure AND GETTING WORSE.
Maybe if Mr BET and his fellow Black Racists would stop blaming Whites, and took responsibility for the way American Bkacks are conducting themselves....things just may improve.
So many rules and laws benefit Blacks over Whites today....and still the problems.
First, average unemployment is above 15% and they reelected Obama, so yes they would tolerate it.
Second, real black unemployment is around 30% and they voted for Obama by greater than 100% in the hardest hit areas.
So Mr. BET, don’t tell us that black unemployment is a problem that won’t be tolerated.
We wouldn’t vote over and over again for the politicians that got us there.
Well, they certainly seem to be their own worst enemy...their plight has gotten worse not better, the more power they wield. Too bad the idiot at BET refuses to look in the mirror.
So, deal with the impediment to first-time workers entering the workforce, lower or eliminate the “minimum wage”.
Given that the white population in this country is much larger than the black population, I’d say he’s right. 15 percent white unemployment would spell employment disaster for those in smaller ethnic groups.
Of course, he’s right for the wrong reason, but that’s another story.
So when is this Democrat Slave going to wake the hell up and vote Republican? It isn’t the GOP that has kept them in chains all these years.
Funny, you never hear a GOP Legislator say that, but Joe Biden has no trouble characterizing the GOP that way!
Where’s the GOP Leadership in this vast power vacuum?
Black America seems fine with it since 98% voted for it.
Blame your black President, racist.
When I was at the unemployment center I saw two clean, articulate (if Biden can say it and not get called racist, I can) black teenage boys. They had plastic combs stuck in their hair, with handles hanging out like rudders. They wore neat looking clothing, but the pants were way low and both were holding them up with one hand. The one kid says, “I can’t understand it. I’ve applied just about everywhere and nobody will hire me.” The other kid allowed that he had also. I wanted to say two things. One, do you have any skills worth the minimum wage? Probably not, but that’s most likely not their fault. Two, who would hire somebody who must hold his pants up with one hand all the time? I’d be willing to hire somebody with one hand, but you just look stupid and handicapping yourself for the sake of style speaks of a mentality that won’t do well in the workplace. No potential employer is going to tell them that. They need somebody they respect in the community (a father, maybe?) take them aside and ask them to view themselves through a potential employer’s eyes.
Doesn’t matter what the country tolerates.
It’s what you and yours tolerate, Mr. BET founder.
You vote for democrats all the time no matter what, and all they do is hurt you.
You tolerate your own poverty pimps getting rich off of you while you suffer.
Want something different? Then try something different.
Painting with the broad brush of generalization, almost every black person is exactly like every other black person that I have ever met.
Yeah, these a very few that are different, but not enough to matter in the big picture, not even close.
So blame yourselves. This white person never did anything to you and can do nothing to save you.
It’s on you.
The answer is amnesty for illegals.
I wonder if Ben understands that 95% of them unemployed Blacks give 100% support to the problems and only 50% or so of Whites give that same support. The folks he claims to support are a big part of the problem - they keep believing the lies because it leads to the easier, softer way of leeching off the rest of us. By his reckoning, Dims should be out of power for the next 50 years for what they have done.
Well let see. Blacks voted for 0 bummer over 95% in the past two elections. I say tough. Deal with it, since it looks like your messiah can’t “create” job fo u.
