When I was perusing the BLS employment database earlier today, I was amused by the unemployment rate they laughably report for black men. According to these lying government apparatchiks, the unemployment rate for black men is currently 7.5%. Yesterday, as I was walking from the parking garage to the Montgomery County Courthouse in lovely downtown Norristown, murder capital of Montgomery County, to pick up my carry permit, there sure were a lot of able bodied black men shuffling past me on the street smoking cigarettes and not in a hurry to their jobs. I wonder if the BLS classifies them as NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE.

So here are some facts. There are approximately 20 million black adult men. According to the BLS, only 10.8 million of them are even in the civilian labor force. The BLS says 10 million are employed, leaving only 800,000 black men in the entire country unemployed. I wonder how the 9.2 million black men who are NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE spend their days? They aren’t unemployed, so they must be scholars or well off retirees. Does drug dealing count as being employed? The true black man unemployment rate is north of 30%.

What we do know is that at least 1.1 million are incarcerated in state/federal prisons. That is 5.5% of . . .
