Another great chart from the people at nytimes.com: this one shows how unemployment has risen among various different segments of the population, since January 2007. Here’s what’s happened to the 12-month average employment rate for black men without a high-school degree under 25 years old:

Yes, and when I went through the chart options, I could feel the racial tension. I am daily in conflict with people who have internalized the ideas that black Americans, poor Americans of whatever sort but certainly black ones, aren’t due “handouts.” The GOP becomes the party of the white, which is sad because traditional conservative values - which, remember, didn’t include the Southern white racists who always voted Democratic - were more humane.

White liberals will no doubt see a confirmation of their people’s eternal villainy, ignoring of course massive white to non-white wealth redistribution through entitlement programs. Cold-hearted me looks at the chart as a confirmation of the differences in productivity across groups, with the jobs of the least productive tending to be the first ones shed.
