Sound-off |
Why are Blks Jobless at 14%??
Instead of black people worrying about Rihanna who has a job and sleeps with whomever she wants to (engaged or not)-you would think that blacks would be finding out why unemployment is so high in the black community in America!
Why is black unemployment at 14% while hispanics are at 10% and whites are only at 7%?
I just spoke with a black guy this morning, who is applying for a cooking job in the French Quarter. This man was a Navy cook and has been cooking for over 10 years-and he said that he lost out on a job to a Hispanic worker (i do not know legal status)-who migrated from Texas and had no cooking experience or was some "prep cook"
A black female that I went to high school with, got a 4 year Dietician degree(from LSU) and became a Registered Dietician and she applied for a Dietician position at a hospital along with a white female but they both lost out to an immigrant female from Iran, who barely speaks English and dresses like a hooker (from what she said)!
I have also noticed that black janitors -who made up the majority of union members are now less than half.
The New Orleans Times Picayune and NOLA.com (owned by the NY Times Company)-appears to want people to celebrate when an immigrant gets a job over an American. Last week they ran a fluff article about a Filipino coming to New Orleans to teach-but neglected to say that the city laid off about 1500 American teachers just the year before!
So, there is some type of agenda.
