[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1618538, member: 17969"] IT made up a quote changing what was said. This is what the NAACP president said.. IN CONTEXT.. """[URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/national-association-for-the-advancement-of-colored-people/']NAACP[/URL] President and [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/28/naacp-president-black-people-worse-under-obama/#']CEO[IMG]http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/benjamin-jealous/']Benjamin Jealous[/URL] said Sunday that black Americans “are doing a full point worse” than when President Obama first took office. “The country’s back to pretty much where [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/28/naacp-president-black-people-worse-under-obama/#']it[IMG]http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png[/IMG][/URL] was when this president started,” [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/benjamin-jealous/']Mr. Jealous[/URL] told MSNBC host David Gregory on “Meet the Press.” “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing a full point worse.” The black unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took [URL='http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/28/naacp-president-black-people-worse-under-obama/#']office[IMG]http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png[/IMG][/URL]. While the unemployment rate in the U.S. as a whole is below 8 percent, the Labor Department reported the black jobless rate was up from 12.9 percent to 14 percent for December.""" When president Obama took office, George Bush had already increased black unemployment into double digits and left office with blacks at 12.7% and rising with the recession. In the first year of Obama's term, unemployment in the country was rising out of control due to BUSH's policies and failures. BY 2010, unemployment reached 10.3% and NATURALLY black unemployment would rise as well. Separating the black american unemployment figures shows that they suffered higher losses of jobs than whites taking them to 16.4% in the first two years of Obama's administration. This had NOTHING to do with the presidents policies, and more to do with the nations meltdown that was caused by BUSH and the republicans in charge for 8 years. While black unemployment is slowing crawling back, more is needed to be done in job creation in this country, but your beloved republicans would rather keep people poor and unemployed, rather than pass actual infrastructure jobs bills that would employ millions. But, you will vote for those people keeping poor people poor. Its a shame that a vote is wasted in that manner. TOS. [/QUOTE]
