President Barack Obama is proposing several measures his administration says will create millions of jobs and stimulate the sluggish economy. The nation's high unemployment rate has hit minority groups in the United States especially hard. Nearly three-million African Americans are having a hard time finding work after several years of massive job losses.

  • @CrowdPleeza THE BLACK OWNED! I 100% AGREE WITH CHOICE THREE. ALTHOUGH THEIR ARE SOME BLACK OWN BUSINESSES OUT THEIR; THE NUMBERS DON'T SUPPLY THE DEMAND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR WORK. ALSO THE LACK OF CERTAIN SKILLS OR NOT ENOUGH OF A CERTAIN SKILL WILL HOLD ONE BACK TOO. I'M GOING THROUGH THAT NOW.

    BY THE WAY SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS, BUT GREAT POINTS WERE MADE.

  • Why is Black unemployment higher? Four reasons:

    1.) Too many Black males not graduating.

    2.) Decline in U.S manufacturing work which employed alot of Black males.

    3.) Not enough Black owned businesses compared to other groups.

    4.) Discrimination.

  • American business owners will not hire any more people -- black or white -- until Barrack Obama loses his job. That's a fact. Just ask them. You wanted Hope and Change. Now you've got it.

  • black americans are lazy and waste of space.hahaha

    go back to afri.y'all

  • @blueiguy1 That's debatable. Never really  had it in America as a hole. Most people don't save and if you have debt you can't really save and invest.

  • @nativemrv19722 You do realize African Americas are the NINTH richest nation on the planet if you were to add up our resources. You should watch Dr claude Anderson's videos to get your expertise. Black people for some reason can't seem to recycle the black dollar but we have had it before we can do it again. If we stop buying stupid stuff like rims and jewelry and invest we could make a change.

  • @blueiguy1 It takes  money to start a business! Most people of color don't have money like whites.!

  • Black people should stop focusing on getting a job and just start CREATING THEM . When the government hires a black person they are taking an entrepreneur off of the street.
