About a week ago, I received a call from a radio show host who was practically screaming through the phone. I wasn't sure if she was in labor with her first child, running from a mass murderer, or had just seen Denzel Washington in her bathroom shower. I figured that whatever she was screaming about, it had to be important.
When the radio show host informed me of the source of her discomfort, I was ready to scream myself. The black unemployment numbers, while typically absurd, had reached (in TSA language) threat level orange. During the month of April, while white unemployment nation-wide rose by only .1% (to 8.0%), black unemployment rose by a shocking 1.7% (to 15%). This means that black unemployment grew by 17 times more than white unemployment and is nearly double the rate of white America. Yes, it's time to be alarmed.
Unemployment has dropped in 21 states. The US is starting to see scant signs of an economic recovery (I'll admit that my stock portfolio is no longer on life support). The stock market has risen dramatically over the past 2 months and could be even more bullish after this week. Yet, black America is getting hammered relentlessly by the economic downturn. Not trying to bother you President Barack Obama (I know you're kind of busy with that whole North Korea thing), but do you have anything to say about this?

I think he needs to deal with ALL unemployment. Perople are hurting everywhere.
And just what would you have him do about Black unemployments?
In your infinite wisdom just what would you propose he do about black unemployment? You know, as opposed to unemployment?
This is just another whine point for the black so called scholars, interlectuals, race pimps, race hustlers other gas gags to get face time on the WHITE TV shows to criticize the president.
The republicans and the WHITE media are daily doing their damnest to try to undermine the President. The few people who call them out are ALL WHITE. The race hustlers are just about running over their gradnchildren to get to the WHITE TV shows to see if they can have a bit of fun in the take down.
Maybe one day they will have their own TV show for all the their hard work.
Dr. Boyce excells at race-hustlin and crabbin.
They probably picked the article because they hate Dr. Boyce. When I went to UK with him, the klan used to read his articles all the time and try to kill him. He even wrote about that.

Yes, I went to college with Boyce you idiot. Google him and you can see that he started writing compelling articles back in school and the black on campus loved him. The racist white people (like you) hated him. This is nothing new. The south needs outspoken black men to stand up to dummies such as yourself.
I read the article that one of his dick riders, probably you, wrote. by the way I'm not black fool and the south don't need any race-pimps. When you get Boyce's dick out your mouth tell him to go work at one of the HBCUs he always reppin.
Check his website. He just joined an HBCU, Texas Southern. So, take your own dick out of your own mouth, but you probably enjoy the taste.
Ouch!
