Pricing and waging us out of existence!

Be sure to check out the upcoming statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of course I was prompted to refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics after reading a very distressing article. What it says in a nutshell is that black men need to have a serious ECONOMIC AGENDA. And no this agenda should not solely depend on a COLLEGE DEGREE, RAPPING, SINGING, DANCING OR ENTERTAINMENT. In the most recent report, the unemployment rate among black teens stood at 37 percent - more than double the rate for white teens. The percent of the black teen population employed was just 20 percent agenda. For a real outlook of the amount of ass kicking that the black man is taking please feast your eyes on this alarming article. Stunned! Well don't be. What this article reflects is the result of what happens when a collective of people don't realize that they are a collective of people. That's right folks WE ARE A NATION. And all nations have a strong sense of identity and plenty to offer the world. Unfortunately black people especially black men are operating like a colony.

Now one main thing that seriously frightened me while reading this article was the fact that upward mobility amongst black women seems to be increasing while such mobility is drastically decreasing amongst black men. An example of this is given the article.
"Low employment among young black men is very costly – to themselves, to their families and children, and to the nation as a whole. For instance, low employment among men is strongly associated with crime, and at the national level, crime and prisons cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars each year". Just reading this is infuriating enough, so infuriating that I don't need to mention that %30 of all black men in the country has been to prison at some point. ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS, SELF IDENTITY. These are issues that will continously be addressed by this writer in full detail, stay tuned.
