If the election of America's first African-American president was expected to give blacks an economic boost, it hasn't emerged yet. Indeed, the percentage of African-American men with a job has dropped to its lowest level since records began in 1972, according to the government's monthly jobs report released last week.
Even as the economy added a better-than-expected 244,000 jobs, the percentage of black males over 20 who are currently employed dropped slightly to 56.9, the Labor Department's April report shows. For whites, the equivalent figure is 68.1 percent.
Before this recession, the percentage of black adult men with a job had never dropped below 60 percent, according to Labor Department statistics.

When the emphasis switches from wealth creation to 'payback time' the poor suffer. That's bad enough, but what really frosts my cake is hearing leftists say that wealth creation is somehow 'selfish'.
 
When high school dropout rates and criminal activity statistics for a group are high, they're employability is generally pretty low, meaning they're much more likely to be unemployed. Doesn't take a genius or even a government employee to figure that one out.
 
It's racist to expect blacks to perform in a socity that for them is compleatly unnatural.
