hello america!!! people of color, i must ask??? exactly what did your vote for obama get you? many of you can say: extended unemployment compensation; food stamps; &, much easier access to welfare & disability. well, so much for your american dream.
what many of you cannot say is: inclusion in a better way forward; a way to buy &/or keep your homes; a way to put your kids through college; a way to prosper as a people & an american; &, most importantly, employment.
what happened to travon martin was a travesty however, the evidence did not support the charges against zimmerman. for obama & our (so-called) civil rights leaders to focus on this one case is ludicrous. where is their outrage concerning black-on-black or latino-on-latino crime? where is their outrage that the jobs obama promised them are nonexistent?
good people, our national unemployment rate has fallen to 7.4% for the whole country yet black's are at 12.6% &, latino's are at 9.4%...hell, on obamas recent trip to africa, he cautioned them not to leave the children behind & yet, he hasn't addressed the 23.7% unemployment rate for our very own teenagers.
please tell me i'm blowing hot air & then read & explain this: our 16-19 year old blacks have an unemployment rate of 41.6% & nobody even seems to know or mention it. more importantly, nobody seems to have any plans to even try to change that rate.

look, we could split hairs about all the jobs numbers however, they come from our gov't as seen here...

in july 2013, 162,000 new jobs were filled &, it sounds good until you look july's new unemployment claims:
week ending 6 july---360,000
13 july---336,000
20 july---345,000
27 july---326,000
how in the hell can obama & company be happy about the disparity between 162,000 jobs gained & the 1,367,000 jobs lost?
just think about this: we lost 1,367,000 jobs last month alone & obama & company (along with some repubs) want to add 11 million people to the rolls---people of color, you should be extremely upset by all the numbers.
