Dem congresswoman Frederica Wilson of Florida cries "racism" among causes of recent high black unemployment. Here's another brilliant statement from a grossly out of touch elected official:
"[Black unemployment] has a lot to do with racism, shipping jobs overseas and no access to technology."
Everything is slipping away for the black community according to Ms. Wilson. Yet how can this be with a black man as President? Sounds like you've got it backwards Ms. Wilson. Statistics clearly show that there are far more "whites" out of work than blacks. It seems everything is slipping away for the white community as well, in case you haven't noticed.
It makes perfect sense that you're average U.S. company executive is shipping jobs overseas purely because he does not want to give jobs to black men....NOT. If I was a black man, I'd consider your words insulting and degrading.
Oh ans Ms. Wilson, ever heard of the public library? Lots of technology to be found there!

Arabiyah: Free Libyans Take Over Tripoli!
Well, at least the suit looks nice! |
After six months of pro-democracy uprisings, what were once besieged streets are now filled with thousands of people gathered to celebrate the rebel victory in the capital city of Tripoli. On Sunday evening, Libyan rebels entered the city's Green Square, now renamed "Martyrs' Square," facing no resistance from forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi.
By Monday morning, most of the capital was under the control of rebel forces, whose opposition flags could be seen everywhere. According to the rebel leadership, at least two of Qaddafi's sons, Saif Al-Islam and Mohammed, are in rebel custody. Meanwhile, Qaddafi's presidential guard units have laid down their arms. Residents took to the streets to celebrate the collapse of Qaddafi's forces and the end to what they see as the fall off Qaddafi's four-decade rule. Some people blew their car horns and others were seen embracing each other and shouting with joy. Weapons were fired into the air and fireworks lit the night sky. The whereabouts of Mr. Qaddafi are unknown.
Joe Biden China's One Child Policy!
From http://dailycaller.com: Pro-life advocates are not pleased with comments Vice President Joe Biden made during his appearance at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, Sunday. Following his prepared remarks about the U.S. debt, Biden answered a question about how America can reduce deficits and strengthen America's financial system. His response included a tacit acceptance of China's one-child policy — a mandate which has resulted in mass abortions, sterilizations and heavy penalties for violators. In explaining the demographic concerns of funding for future generations, Biden cited the Chinese policy:
But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family. The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable. So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that's much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.
