You certainly have a habit of ignoring what is said to you in favor of insults and attacks.
Do you believe this somehow adds credibility to your image when you are impotent to actually respond to what is being discussed?
My mistake. Can you summarize just which skill sets blacks lack that whites don't that might cause such a discrepancy, or at least provide a source to back up your opinion?
Says the kid that brought up slavery asking for a fight.
The mean IQ of blacks is 85. The mean IQ of whites is 100. One half of the white population has an IQ below 100. 5/6ths of the black population has an IQ below 100. The Military has a qualifying test for potential enlistees:
Among white test-takers, 16 percent scored below the minimum score required by the Army. For Hispanic candidates, the rate of ineligibility was 29 percent. And for African-American youth, it was 39 percent. These dismally high ineligible rates for minority youth in our subsample of data are similar to the ineligible rates of all minority Army applicants as recorded over the last ten years.
People who can't qualify to enlist in the military are also going to have trouble in the civilian job market.
Perhaps this is news to you Henrin - slavery is a historical reality. Bringing it up is not asking for a fight. It is merely introducing a part of the historical record.
I've taken the EST and the ASVAB. It's completely passable if you have a working understanding of basic arithmetic and the English language.
Also, RD, racial discrepancies exist even when we control for other factors like intelligence, qualifications, experience, etc.
Yes, I hear do-rags affect work ethic...Quit wearing a do-rag to interviews.
Being a liberal, I think you ought be ashamed to admit you're confused. Supposedly you people have been looking out for blacks since at least the 1960's. So what the hell are you doing?
they affect how professional you look. You think a business is going to hire a person who doesn't bother to make themselves look professional?Yes, I hear do-rags affect work ethic...
OH, nothing partisan in your perspective. HAHAHAHAHAHAs usual you in your partisan mind forget to ask the real questions.
1. Why is black unemployment consistently higher than white?
2. The sharp rise at the end is because of what?
If you bothered asking these questions instead of using the statistics as a partisan attack tool, then maybe you would not look so foolish when you actually find out that the level which black unemployment is at now... the consistent level (yes it is high) is most of Obama's presidency, but the massive rise happened during the last president... your hero Bush.

I think our culture, too often, values looks over substance, making it easier for us to quickly judge people based on how they look/dress rather than what really matters, a lot of the time.
Then as you know that issue has more facets than just skin color. Heavy very fit people, tall versus short, good looking etc. That being said have you discussed high school drop out rates yet?
What's wrong with all those black people, clearly they don't have the guts to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and help themselves!
Oh wait, no, it's all Obama's fault they can't help themselves!
black people's fault? Obama's fault? Wait, i'm confused now...
Well the blame belongs to someone. The blame whitey engine is running out of gas. So, who do we blame, next?
this speaks more to the point of not having proper skill sets than any perceived racial discrimination.
in this economy, ya got to have the skillz' or you get to sit home and wonder why you're poor and unemployed/unemployable
What evidence do you have that it's a skills mismatch problem when it comes to that huge disparity?
And I would add that even if it's not employers themselves that are engaging in racist behavior (either consciously or subconsciously), this is still evidence of institutionalized racism.
I thought you were smarter than that.

There's only way to get those skills, too. Sitting at home, waiting for the government to make everything ok isn't one of them.

no one individual or group is solely to blame. It's a structural/systematic problem.
I've got to ask this question again. What precisely are these skills that black folks lack that other people have? And why do blacks not have them while other people do? Are blacks simply lazier than everyone else and refuse to get such training? Examples, anyone?
