@Serrokot I wouldn't necessarily say it's the stock market, but rather capitalism seeded with corruption and greed.

Furthermore, the unemployment rate for Blacks in Alabama is above the national average by 7.1 percentage points.

@nkroti10 The Racial Component of Unemployment in Alabama:

We are particularly concerned by some trends highlighted by EPI’s statistics – growing

unemployment rates with a disproportionate effect on Alabama’s African American

population. During the current recession, the unemployment rate for Black Alabamians has increased from 5.3 percent to 15.1 percent, which is 9.3 percentage points higher than the rate for White Alabamians. (via epi.org)

@nkroti10 "An African American is three times as likely as a white person to be unemployed in Louisiana – and more than twice as likely in Alabama, New York, Mississippi, and Texas." (via epi.org)

[DonBobyTV]

@nkroti10 "While high unemployment is affecting all sectors of the population in this tough economy, African-Americans are by far the hardest-hit demographic. Nationally, black unemployment reached 16.7 percent last month — the highest level since 1984 — even as the jobless rate for whites fell to 8 percent, according to the U.S. Labor Department."
