It ain’t over until you say it’s over

Posted In: Economy

I do not need to read a headline in the news to realize that this economy is a joke. Just in the last few weeks I have seen at least 3 houses in a 2 block radius post “for rent” signs in their front yards. With it being right in the

The contrasts of Labor day of today and yesteryear

by Duane on September 6th, 2011 at 7:11 am
Posted In: Commentary

Just recently I read where Rep. Maxine Waters is asking for a trillion-dollar jobs program (never mind the nearly trillion-dollar stimulis that was supposed to do the same thing. Why not ask the president what happen with all of that money?). She is part of the the belief that jobs are created when money (tax [...]

Saving the planet and deleting jobs

“So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Then Senator Barack Obama

Good news…
March 4 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. jobless rate unexpectedly fell to 8.9 percent in February, the lowest in almost two years, and employers added 192,000 jobs in a sign of growing confidence in the recovery.

Doing the work most Americans will not do

by Duane on January 5th, 2011 at 7:11 am
Posted In: Headlines

While folks wanted to play politics last week over shoveling snow (I mean, really?), these bruthas (and probably some sistahs) were about the bid’ness and took advantage of a great opportunity.

So Does The UN Need To Investigate Georgia?

by Duane on May 5th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Posted In: Commentary, Economy

This writer believes that the “…persistently high unemployment rate among African-Americans is a violation of human rights” and that the UN should investigate.” I’ve addressed this issue already, so I will cut to the chase here.

Smoke’n Mirrahs

Money does not create meaningful jobs, demand does. Yet to the CBC, $600 mil for summer jobs is Black gold.
“As any bookerista knows, this is merely money confiscated from taxpayers (not to mention that the gigs are just a couple of months). The government isn’t expanding the job growth pie, but merely taking peoples’ pie [...]

January, 2010
“In a survey of American racial attitudes released Tuesday, researchers reported that the feeling of progress is driven in large part by the election of President Obama, along with a greater sense of local community satisfaction and a more positive outlook. The majority of African Americans say they are better off now than they [...]

A Clogged Pipeline But Somebody Has To Clean It

For years now we have been hearing that the public schools system isn’t doing enough to encourage Black male students to pursue teaching as a profession. However, there is another profession that has also been saying the saying the same thing.

Do Black Men Lead This “Statistic” Too, Harry?

by Duane on February 24th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Posted In: Economy, Headlines, Politics, The Brothas

Since media has us leading in all negative statistics, I’m just wondering if this could potentially be used as a political football in the future. Think of it, “If we don’t get these Black men employed, they will become abusive.”
