The United States saw the widest gap in unemployment rates for African Americans and whites in years at the conclusion of the first year of Biden’s presidency, underscoring an uneven recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and the Biden administration’s failure to meet its promises to foster racial equity in the economy. The jobless rates for whites fell half a percentage point to 3.2 percent, while the rate for blacks rose from 6.7 percent to 7.1 percent, according to data released by the Labor Department on Friday. As a result, black unemployment is now more than twice the white unemployment rate. In fact, at 220 percent the white unemployment rate,
As usual whites have to pay the freight for the free loaders.

I want the President who brings down the African-American employment rate. I don't care about being called a racist anymore because it is an empty term of abuse. I will just accept it. But I want Trump back, and thsi number to go down, and also inquality to go down which he was achieving, and I want support for pro-life, and African American mothers to feel braver about giving birth..... I just have to accept being called names. .... Trump! Trump! Trump!

Employee - Did you fire me because I am black?
Employer - I hired you because you are black. I am firing you because you are incompetent.

More of that white privilege again. In the name of equality and social justice the white unemployment rate should be the same as the black unemployment race. It's only fair.

Absolute proof that the Dim party is 100% racist. Which explains why they must ceaselessly scream that other people are racists.
Kamel a hairass said schmoe is a racist and she’s right. But she’s a racist too for partnering with him.

There are a bunch of people with hiring signs out. It is not my problem if someone is unemployed.

Once again, this is obviously Trump's fault, systemic racism, and white supremacy at work.
What else could it possibly be?

Stop blaming the people when we all know its the government's fault. One has to be looking for work to even be counted. The gap could just as likely be because fewer whites are looking for work. Also blacks are less likely to get the jab so they may have been fired for that. The facts are just a year ago this gap was not the case, its 100% thanks to FJB.

It doesn't matter the color of the skin.
It's easy to be unemployable. No transportation, poor grooming habits, snotty attitude, and unable/unwilling to do the elementary tasks required for the job.

People “work” for many reasons. For personal satisfaction. To keep from being “bored”. To obtain food for themselves or family. To obtain the means to buy things they want, need and desire (to quote Sean Hannity). Among many others. Presently, several of those reasons are abolished by Biden’s policies. So here we are. Screwed by socialism.

By design. Blacks who are not dependent on gubmint are not as likely to vote dim-0.

The people have spoken, and the cries of pain from The Community heard loud and clear. Back in the welfare hammock with you; take a load off. And fret not because the Republicans keep increasing food stamp benefits, seeing how much money Big Snack and Big Soda and Walmart make on it, let alone the banks that make money on transaction fees with each swipe of the EBT card.
