Remember Katrina? Remember “George Bush doesn’t care about black people“? Remember how the suffering of non-whites was used as prima facie evidence of racism on the part of President Bush personally and the government at large? I’m sure you do.
What does that tell us about Barack Obama and unemployment? Consider today’s ugly employment numbers, as reported by the Washington Post:
The nation’s economic recovery continued to sputter as private-sector employers added just 71,000 jobs in July, according to a report released Friday by the Labor Department.
The small increase in private-sector employment was more than offset by the loss of 143,000 temporary census jobs, and the nation’s unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.5 percent. Overall, the nation shed 131,000 jobs in July.
… The Labor Department said 8.5 million workers were working part-time even though they would prefer full-time work. Meanwhile, 6.6 million of the nation’s 14.6 million unemployed workers have been jobless for more than six months, continuing a historic high, the government reported.
The report also showed that blacks and Hispanics continue to be the groups hardest hit by the nation’s job crisis. The black unemployment rate was 15.6 percent, the Labor Department said, and among Hispanics, unemployment was 12.1 percent. For whites the unemployment rate was 8.6 percent, and Asians had an 8.2 percent jobless rate.
So, the obvious conclusion is that Barack Obama hates blacks and Hispanics, tolerates white folks, and has a soft spot for Asians, right?
