Answer to Black Unemployment

The Field Negro asks a very interesting question:

"Why is it that the unemployment rate for black folks with college degrees is twice that of what it is for their white counterparts? And higher, even, than whites with less credentials?"

I think the answer is very simple, "he who has the jobs, hires who he wants to hire."

Most white people are still uncomfortable with too many black people around.  Beyond that, when times get tough, people look out for their friends.

The real answer and opportunity is for black people to launch businesses, to team up with one another and create our own economy.

No more "I can't get a loan" excuses.

You know my story: I started my full-time Internet business years ago with less $300.  What you may not know is that I recently hired a single black mother to do some back office work for me.  I would have never found her if a major corporations had not laid her off.  My attitude is, thank you ********** for training her so well!

This is not the entire answer, but I do believe its a beginning.

How can you turn what you know into a business?
