Liberalism and Liberation

8. Perhaps the most direct reference to the term 'liberation' applies to black Americans. As Liberals/Democrats brag that they are the saviors of blacks, lets see how their words stack up against the facts.



a. "Black Labor Force Participation Rate Under Obama Hits Rock Bottom – Lowest Level Ever Recorded

“The drop in labor force participation was sharpest for African Americans, who saw a decline of 0.3 percentage points to 60.2 percent, the lowest rate since December of 1977.The rate for African American men fell 0.7 percentage points to 65.6 percent, the lowest on record.The decline in labor force participation was associated with a drop in the overall African American unemployment rate of 0.5 percentage points to 11.9, and a drop of 0.6 percentage points to 11.6 percent for African American men.”

... contrary to those who spin the falling labor force participation rate as mainly coming from retiring Baby Boomers, young workers are dropping out by the millions.




b. Economist Walter Williams put black labor force participation in historical context in a column published last April by pointing out that up until the 1960s blacks were as well or better represented in the labor force than whites.

[Recall what the 60s brought? Radicals, i.e., Liberals]


“From 1900 to 1954, blacks were more active than whites in the labor market. Until about 1960, black male labor force participation in every age group was equal to or greater than that of whites. During that period, black teen unemployment was roughly equal to or less than white teen unemployment. As early as 1900, the duration of black unemployment was 15 percent shorter than that of whites; today it’s about 30 percent longer.”

So...if one believes Liberalism, Inc., i.e., the NYTimes, Nancy Pelosi, then being 'liberated' from a job, from being gainfully employed, is a plus.....then vote Liberal/Democrat.

....or repent.
