Has the black community become completely marginalized?

Seems that way here in Chicago.

All the good jobs are taken by the college educated out here.

I may pass by a token few while I walk the streets of the loop

that are dressed for work with suits, etc.

I honestly see as many homeless black beggers in the south

loop here as I see blacks dressed in working suits.

Meanwhile, the city itself is 45% black, and the city black community finds itself pretty much out of the running for jobs.

The unemployment rate in the black neighborhoods and suburbs

approches 30-40%, and the working 60% are in primarily

gov%26#039;t or quasi gov%26#039;t jobs like the Post Ofice and the DMV

or unskilled laborer jobs, in which they compete in a losing battle

with the hispanic illegal aliens.

The foreclosure rate in our minority neighborhoods and suburbs

is astronomical, and the boarded-up look is everywhere.

SO what%26#039;s up with the marginal status of the black race today?

They seem to be completely out of the game and loop.

Is the game over for them?

Has the black community become completely marginalized?

So typical.

Excuses,excuses,excuses... waiting for somebody to knock on the door offering the best job offer ever!

Blaming others is not the solution.

Has the black community become completely marginalized?

You must understand that blacks have only been let into the game for about 25-35 years. Blacks as a whole come from an agrerian society. It is very difficult to transform people who come from a history of farm labor to educated corporate america. It%26#039;s going to take time. Report It

|||Unfortunately, I don%26#039;t think they have really ever been let into the game to start with. So, the kind of picture that you paint above is not surprising to me. However, given that most people think that the days of racial inequality are gone in this country, more people like you need to post statistics like this...|||I think people are better of trying to be individuals first. Go where the work is.|||for a very long time the blacks have been chopping off their own feet, and the black leaders have all blamed it on the white establishment. sadly, as you yourself mentioned that the city is forty percent black, so the black community should be thriving, within or without the system, ofcourse this community must need its own lawyers, doctors and engineers and teachers and business men, the coffe shop owners, the furniture store owners, etc. but are our kids in school, learning? no, they are sittign home in front of the tv watching BET, learning that the only thing the blakcs are good at is to be %26quot;screwing%26quot; eachother or killing or robbing while the white police are brutalising them and the system is keeping them down, while the mothers and dads are selling dope and %26quot;P- - - %26quot;, unless the black leadership andthe black churches, ( just like the white church and white leadership in this country should ) shout out loud and clear that there IS more to life than sleeping with eachother, that there IS a difference between a man and an animal, that education and hard work IS more important than how well you can shake your booty. that the survival of any race can not be dependent upon the hand out and the charity of another people, we are all , white or black, doomed to extinction, the same goes for our country to day that is living on the charity of other countries, yes, really, we could not ven finght a war because we need loans from the arabs and the chinese to live on , we need oil, to fight wars, hell we don%26#039;t even make our own underwear in this country, in case we mess up the one we are wearing|||Sounds like you could use some military recruiters up in those neighborhoods. There are plenty of opportunities for enlistment in the armed forces. I didn%26#039;t have money for college, didn%26#039;t have a plan for my future, and the military was the right way for me to go, along with most of the people that i work with who tell the same story. If they can hack it, they will have a strong base for their future, money for college, and a secure job until they find out what they wanna do with their life.

Plenty of jobs to go around if you are willing to leave your home. And in this case, in Chicago, where it is so bad, they should not mind leaving. Recruit Training Command is 45 minutes away of the city of Chicago. JOIN THE NAVY|||first off it is never over for the blacks trust me and your stupid for even asking that question as long as there are rich little white boys that want to be black we will continue to be on top so dont feel sorry for us nor should you worry about us like diddy said i thought i told you that we wont stop.|||If so, then why is rap and hip hop so hugely popular?

Why do so many of us worship black athletes who are pampered millionaires for playing a child%26#039;s game?|||One day change will come.
