But with a black President, I find that hard to believe.

That’s what happens when an affirmative action president gets the job because of his skin color, not his experience, knowledge of business and common sense.

Job skills certainly play a role in this (though the economy is an issue); I see numerous young Hispanics working - they are beating out blacks for these jobs.

.....any gains made by the War on Poverty on the rate of employment among African-American teenagers were erased over the past decade. Ms Prince decries the results, but not abysmal performance of this government to address the problems. Specifically, she glaringly omits the chief culprit - Barack Hussein Obama!
Her take on the "report" is almost a subtle condemnation of unseen racism that has caused all the trouble. Nowhere is there are recounts of the Obama policies of encouraging increased participation in entitlements: SSDI, SSI, EITC, SNAP, WICs, Section 8 vouchers, et al - ALL OF WHICH ARE UP UNDER OBAMA.
She provides BLS data that show the plight of black unemployment on the one hand as a testament, and yet completely ignores that bureau's other unemployment data inaccuracies due political manipulation.
She can take her "report" and go bark up another tree. No one is listening here in my world.

I wonder if this has to do with perception or reality — or a little bit of both???
Did the news have any weight on how other non-blacks view black teens and their ability to be loyal workers - or did the youths themselves commit job suicide when they applied and interviewed for the job???
It would be interesting to see the break down of these elements...to demonstrate not all are compassionate to thug mentality or street slang — or not having the ability to read and write...but the same can be said for white’s in certain areas of the country as well...

I think everyone has been hit hard not just black teens..Maybe if every one thought about impeaching a certain president there would not be such a mess in this country..He sits up there planning his next vacation while the citizens hurt for jobs and wondering where their next meal is coming from and if they will be living under a bridge soon..

Let’s see. The “mainstreaming”of the gangsta lifestyle occurred at almost exactly the same time as this collapse of black youth employment. Who would have thought that massive rates of illiteracy, crime, violence, drug use, etc., might cause employers to look elsewhere?

Whitey’s fault. It must be... Jesse and Al say so.

I’m sure if the Republicans help the Democrats pass Amnesty for illegals that that will help the situation for these young blacks she’s so concerned about.

Elderly white people hit hardest by black teens.

"Black teens were the worst hit by the recent Great Recession in the labor market, the capstone to a decade of plummeting employment rates among young workers, according to a recent report by the Alternative Schools Network." That's okay. They'll just mob and loot a convenience stores in the suburbs to get what they want.

But do they FEEL “hit hard”?
There’s no real problem being unemployed for some people if they don’t experience some privation as a result.

Yet their support for obama is in the high 90% range. They got the change they voted for. Don't they know that we are in a massive recovery? obama said so.

I’m shocked. I’d think employers would be jumping all over themselves to have the Travon Martin type foul mouthed thugs added to the payroll.

... in Chicago 92 percent of all Black male teens ages 16 to 19 were jobless in 2012. 92%
Interesting. 92% is also the percent chance that Rahm Emmanuel will be re-elected mayor.
