In case you aren’t aware, there continue to be disturbing trends in the unemployment data. You may have heard in the media that the unemployment numbers last month were optimistic, but that was not true for the African American community. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment declined for every demographic within the white community, but it actually increased for every measured group within the African American community (men, women and teenagers). Even worse is the fact that after this recession is over, black unemployment won’t be any better than white unemployment is right now (Racial Inequality 101). As you can read in this article, I am perpetually united with other black scholars and public figures who are deeply concerned about this issue.

I’m sure that they wpuld both be saying that we should have paid more attention to the debate between the Honorable black Booker T Washington versus The wish he was white W E Dubois in there debate over the empowering value of a black man having a trade versus a black man qualifying his worth only with the diploma of acceptance of having a whitewashed education. Now we can see who was the winner of the debate by looking at the statistics of black unemployment and the crime rate.Brothers with trades get jobs and have little time and a lot less energy for crimes as compared with the brothers without trades and jobs.

Off the top of my head I’ll bet anything they will say why don’t we have our own and why do we bend over backwards to be fair when hiring and we don’t get the same treatment from other people . How in Hades did the somebody else corner the market on hair extensions when black women are the top consumers? Why do I have to go to a non black meat market to buy chitterlings? why is there mexicans cooking at my soul food restaurant?
