Black and Hispanic Unemployment Rate in Chicago

(CBS) –A new study by the University of Illinois Chicago revealed some bleak employment numbers for African American and Hispanic youths.The study from University of Illinois Chicago Great Cities Institute found that 47 percent of 20-24 year old African American men in Chicago were out of school and out of work in 2014. Across the state, the number was 44 percent, much higher than the national average of 32 percent of young black men. The numbers are startling when it comes to teen unemployment for black teens at 88-percent. The stats are nor encouraging for Hispanics either, at 85 percent unemployed.

What have the Democrats really done for Blacks in the inner cities ? Staggering unemployment numbers show Democrats really don't care for Blacks as they claim they do.

Why is it Democrats don't want to address the staggering unemployment rates of the minorities that cast a vote for them.

Why is it that facts never support the new crop of Republicans?

The current black unemployment rate (8.1%) is lower than the average for any year on record except 1999 and 2000.

In general, unemployment figures don't include those who have "dropped out" and are no longer seeking employment.

State of Illinois has shown you are a liar there Democrat. You just love those false spoon fed facts that make you feel all warm and fuzzy don't you.

Drug dealing and mugging are much more lucrative forms of income.

Most black's application for work is normally;- any ''DANGER'' of a job around here?

It's true that Chicago is a deep hole.

With that said, it has been a hole for about a century.

Both Democrats and Republicans have run this country for a century and neither they nor the minority communities have managed to turn Chicago around.

And like I asked you in a previous debate, what do you Republican conservatives have to offer them other than big tax breaks for the rich and a boot up the butt for anyone who gets out of line?

Blacks and hispanics need to stop playing the race card and victim card and "woe is me" card. Those that are poor and unemployed PROBABLY DESERVE TO BE.

Learn from the asians. They faced the same racism and yet all they did was roll their sleeves up and work their asses off and now they are rich as hell. I'm sorry people, but the plain and fact of it all is that most black and hispanic nations are poor not because of racism, but because they just aren't smart. Asians faced the same hardships in their dirt poor countries, but look how far they advanced. The IQ theory is true. I won't explain it here, but go read up on it. There actually is proven research and evidence that explains why certain "races" have higher IQ and the "other certain races" have low IQs.

So where do you get off playing the race card while telling minorities that they can't?

I mean you start by declaring that the poor deserve to be that way without any basis or legitimacy, then you tout the "Model Minority" stereotype whilst demonstrating a fundamental ignorance regarding the history of the plight of ethnic minorities in the United States, go on to insult ethnic minorities, and then tout eugenics.

Jesus Christ dude.
