Toure Neblett: Slavery Is Partly to Blame for High Black Unemployment Rate
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 08/23/2013 7:55:15 AM PDT by chessplayer

As our dear friends at Twitchy observed, Neblett on Wednesday had some things to say about the black unemployment rate both nationally and in specific parts of the country.

Follower MojoMoe retweeted one saying "Blame slavery."

Neblett - who's actually a co-host of a nationally televised, weekday program on a so-called cable "news" network! - retweeted MojoMoe's pathetic comment and added, "That's obviously part of it."

Never mind that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery on December 6, 1865 almost 150 years ago.

Did I mention that this genius is a host on a nationally televised cable "news" network?

we never would have had a Civil War, and hundreds of years of grief and despair

The Civil War could have been easily avoided if Lincoln had done one thing; Buy all the slaves there were and then give them their freedom in the North. Expensive? Yes. But far less expensive than prosecuting a war for 4-5 years.

You could argue that slavery is to blame for the high employment rate in the NFL, by this man’s standard.

To some, slavery is the reason that Blacks catch the common cold and are constipated from time to time.

Have heard this argument before — the Black family was destroyed because of slavery and has never recovered. That is debatable because out of wedlock births were low in the 50s and 60s (well after slavery had ended).

Anyway...

Okay, blame away, blame everyone else, etc. but now that we have admitted that there is a problem with Black families, what are we going to do about it? And no, billions of dollars and more money will not help it. It hasn't helped over the past 50 years. Actually, it has gotten worse.

Bottom line: “culture of self destruction” has to be changed. And the Democrats aren't helping. I am surprised that Blacks still vote Democrat after all of the failed promises. Blacks are being duped.

The Baiters have learned well from the mmmuslims. The Crusades ended over 740 years ago, yet the mmmuslims are still blaming all their problems on the Crusades (and Jews). In whats left of this country 100 years from now, the Baiters will still be blaming creepy ass crackers for all their problems.

Obviously? It's not obvious to me.

Slavery to Obama’s mind control machine. You know, I think we’re being played. I think Obama has a staff in the WH dedicated to posting outrageous things everyday to keep the white people pissed off. If they’re pissed, they don’t tink straight and focus their anger on him, leaving them wiyh no energy left to focus on ousting him. Stop being played as sucka crackas...

If you read it it, it only abolished Slavery in the South where it had no control at the time. It says nothing about the slaves in the North being free! Then again the war was about States rights not slavery

Yes, slavery is to blame for Black unemployment. Here is how it works: Whites work day and night, and are taxed to starvation to pay Blacks to sit on there tuckesses (this is the slavery). The Whites then die of starvation, and can no longer pay the Blacks, who loose their jobs (this is the unemployment.)

Touré shrugs. “I’ll have the fried chicken,” he tells the waiter. Hold the stereotypes.

“I don’t care if anybody cares,” the single-named author, hip-hop journalist, cultural critic and provocateur says. “It’s a taste issue, and fried chicken is just good. In my life, I have rejected the white gaze. I’m freed from it, so I’m not really concerned with what people may or may not think about what I do.”

Not usually, anyway. But there is one thing, Touré says: He will not eat watermelon, anywhere, ever, and especially not in public. It’s not in his personal repertoire of “performing blackness,” which he explores in “Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness? What It Means to Be Black Now,” a straw-stirring racial memoir-cum-manifesto.

“As soon as I see the red insides of a watermelon I feel ancient racist images slither into the room like a cold, sinewy, sinister breeze,” he writes. “When I was young my parents schooled me against eating watermelon in front of white people lest I confirm ancient stereotypes. I will eat fried chicken with impunity in front of anyone but because the anti-watermelon virus latched on to me early I have no taste for it.”

But go on ahead if you want to, Touré says. Even if the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson told the author that he’d never eat watermelon in public, either, it’s not a felony offense under the rules of performing blackness. After all, Touré says, those rules don’t even exist.

The problem with such “analysis” is not only the age of the 13th amendment, but that 99% of us a descendants of slaves. So since we all are descendants of slaves, it can not explain differences among us very well.
