CUT freebies and unemployment benefits and see un-employment go down, as happened in two states that implemented this ! Sure, some people like disabled do NEED all the help they can get but vast majority have just become addicted to FREEBIES !

I'd point out black men are far more likely to have a prison record thus making it even more difficult to become gainfully employed but you'd just take that as "proof" of black people being "shifty".

So I'd say that any group that has enforcement focused on them will be made to have a prison record.
Maybe if blacks stopped committing so many crimes, they wouldn't be arrested so much.

Yeah, but THEN what would they do? Gotta have a goal, a reason to get up in the morning.

That statement shows one can still be correct while not knowing what they are talking about.
If they could only be rich AND white while doing it...
So go from this:
To this:
And restrict themselves to committing only global financial crimes they'd be home free!

I've been called a race baiter, when suggesting for example that race was the reason for George Zimmerman's murder of Trayvon Martin.
For the record, this thread is what race baiting looks like.

It's very much like the boy who cried wolf: marcus has made a childish game of crying wolf at every opportunity, and so has no credibility now. But yes, this time there is a wolf; CNS is a deliberately misleading enterprise owned by MRC, with the express purpose of manipulating people rather than informing them. The article presents disparate statistics in a context intended to promote the OP's conclusion, when there are more accurate explanations available including the "war on drugs".

White Unemployment 5.3% -- Black Unemployment 11.4% -- Latino Unemployment 7.5%
(CNSNews.com) – While unemployment nationwide is 6.1%, the unemployment rate for black Americans at 11.4% is more than double the rate for white Americans, who have an unemployment rate of 5.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The unemployment rate for Latino Americans, at 7.5%, is also lower than the unemployment rate for blacks, the BLS data show.
For black Americans, age 16 and older, seasonally adjusted, the unemployment rate between July and August stayed the same at 11.4%, and that is up from the 10.7% rate in June. The last time the black unemployment rate was 11.4% was more than 5 years ago, in October 2008. (It was at a low 7.6% in August 2007.)
For white Americans, 16 years and older, seasonally adjusted, the unemployment rate also stayed the same at 5.3% between July and August, which was the same as it was in June. Except for April 2013, which also saw a rate of 5.3%, the last time it was at that level was in July/August 2008.
For Latinos, 16 and older, seasonally adjusted, the 7.5% unemployment rate in August was down from 7.8% in July. It has not fallen below the 7% range since May 2008.
According to the Census Bureau, whites make up 77.7% of the U.S. population; blacks comprise 13.2% of the population; and Hispanic or Latino make up 17.1% of the population.
