Is there a connection between the black unemployment rate and and the drop out rate in high school amoung blacks？

Last week the Schott Foundation released a report stating that the American educational system is systematically failing black male students. According to the Schott report, 47 percent of African-American males graduate from high school. (New York City 28 percent, Philadelphia 28 percent, Broward County Florida 39 percent, Washington D.C., Chicago 44 percent, Nashville 47 percent).

John H. Jackson expressed that he was shocked when saw these numbers and stated “we are going in the wrong direction with these numbers.” As a result of African-American males not graduating, in New York City, over 50 percent of Black males are unemployed and in Chicago, 5000 Black males are lost each year. “They are not in school, they are not employed and no one can say that that doesn’t impact the crime that is happening across the city.”

I know I am upset.

If my frustration and disappointment are any indication of what's in store for Obama in 2012, he may be in serious trouble.

I supported him in 2008, but I would sooner vote for Michele Bachmann than Barack Obama in 2012.

I am dead serious. I'm sick of the "blame Bush for the economy" card. The "give him time" grace period is over.

"Buyer remorse" and all... imagine a Democratic base doing that.

I didn't think so. At worst it may fall to a lesser of two evils, idiots, gangstas, etc, or all of the above... but if she were to be the GOP nominee... ohboyohboyohboy.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

If Michelle is the nominee, we might as well have Obama Innaguration 2 in July of next year and skip the November elections.

I knew I'd see a semi-black man as President in my lifetime, but I seriously doubt there will ever be a woman President.

Not unless she's butch as hell and could pass for a man..... Like Hillary...

[mawilson 2,133]

if she were to be the GOP nominee... ohboyohboyohboy.

She will be.

[Zero Sum 305]

She will be.

Can you imagine the debates?

Can you imagine the debates?

Looking forward to them.

I voted for Obama also, and he's been disappointing...but if it comes down to him or Bachmann...I'l vote for him again. She's a another Palin. No brains...no nothing upstairs.

I like Michele. If it comes down to him or Michele, I'll vote for Michele.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I voted for Obama. I could have voted for McCain until he pivoted on his entire political career in the campaign and made Palin his VP.

I could vote for Romney without holding my nose but I expect he either won't get nominated or will have to have some fire breather as VP to appease the base.

I will happily vote for Obama again if the nominee is Perry or Bachmann.

I voted against Obama first time, but if he keeps hatin' on Israel, I'll vote for him next time.
