We are consistently twice as likely to be unemployed – and in and near St Louis, “47 percent of the metro area’s African-American men between ages 16 and 24 are unemployed”.

And why do you suppose that is? Instead of playing the victim card...again...ask yourself what blacks have done on their own to bootstrap their lives. What we're seeing in Ferguson is clearly going to help lower unemployment rates there, right? Almost $2 trillion since the War on Poverty began and the GAO reported last year that poverty is worse now than ever. Lesson: Throwing money at their problem isn't going to change anything until they get the friggin' chip off their shoulder, quit playing the victim card, and show some self-discipline and initiative on solving their problem themselves, perhaps starting with lowering a 72% illegitimacy rate. All that money and what does society get in return: Ferguson, MO.

And a nearly 50% illiteracy rate, higher yet if you only count black males.

When a culture accepts that, even knowing that it makes them unemployable, it’s a culture problem that only they can fix.

You can’t buy an education, you can pay for one but that has already been done. You can’t buy jobs for the illiterate.

The only thing left that society can do to help them is to do nothing for them. Work or starve, change your culture or you will shiver in the dark, cold and hungry.
