Blacks At Work Under Bush
Human Events Online:
Meanwhile, Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and people like them continue to use innuendo (and, at times, straight-up conspiracy theory) to suggest that President Bush, and Republicans in general, hate black people and do everything in their power to keep them down in poverty.
To a fawning liberal media who are, collectively, incapable of calling them on their B.S., no less.
President Bush spurs economic growth buy pushing much-needed tax cuts through Congress. This economic growth results in plunging unemployment rate. The whole country is going back to work, including minorities, yet Bush will get no credit for this from people like Sharpton or Jackson.
Down in Florida the President's brother has instituted a vouchers-like education program that has kindled a firestorm of positive test scores from minority students, yet do you think that Gov. Bush get's one lick of credit for this from the likes of Sharpton or Jackson? Are Sharpton or Jackson joining with Republicans to institute programs like this in other states where it is badly needed? Like California? Or New York?
Of course not. They're busy convincing their...constituency (I guess, for lack of a better word, though they're not really elected) that Republicans are evil. That Republicans want to keep minorities down.
It's a damn shame.
On the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March this month, Louis Farrakhan led what he called the “Millions More Movement,” which, ironically, appeared to have hundreds of thousands fewer attendees.
Here’s a possible explanation: A lot of people had to work that day. After all, anybody keeping up with the African-American unemployment rate would know that it is at one of its lowest levels ever.
George W. Bush is laying a claim to be the President who did the best job creating jobs for blacks. Currently, black unemployment is 9.4%, which is significantly lower than the 10% it averaged in the Clinton years. The current rate is also much lower than the average black unemployment rate over the past 30 years, which is 12.4%.
