I do not want to comment on the "large %" issue, but there is a reponsibility to get an education that would provide marketable skills, not BS crap like "women's studies" or some lib arts crap.

Many "liberal arts", or degrees in the humanities lead to lucrative positions in academia, sometimes tenured positions. It's not accurate that those are the people who are experiencing high rates of unemployment.

Those "lucrative" jobs are few and far between and really not worth disecting here. Again-where is the responsibility to get marketable skills?

I don't think the problem with the African community is that they go to school for bogus degrees. Most of them go to community colleges and trade schools for things that are considered very marketable. Unfortunately, those jobs, and the jobs that are available to persons with no college degree, do not pay very much. Africans are also unlikely to be hired for jobs in certain sectors for a variety of reasons that mostly revolve around whites not liking their culture.

Are they from Africa? Maybe there is a language barrier, in which case they should take ESL classes...that would probably help them

In more urban areas, this is less of a problem. For example, in NYC and the surrounding boroughs, residents embrace multiculturalism more than people in smaller cities and towns. In a small town, a person is likely to be shunned if they are not like other people who live there. This reaches to things like not being called back for jobs because you have an ethnic sounding name. Studies show.
