I don't know what President Obama is going to recommend in his Jobs speech next week ... but, my hope is that he is going to have a bold plan that is memorable and that has a chance of working. This unemployment rate is ridiculous.

It's not the governments function per se to provide us (black men and women) with jobs. The solution isn't to go to politicians with hat in hand, but to form collectives, build and invest in our own, create and support our own industries, and stop depending on an economic model that never has and never will work for us.

Asad - There is no question that the Black community should engage in economic empowerment and unity as we work to build wealth and overcome the economic challenges we currently face. That said ... there is nothing wrong with the government doing all that it can to eliminate unemployment in the Black community.
