a strategy to wield City Hall as a tool for social justice


quote:

His administration and a team of advocacy groups spent the past year hosting discussions, conducting interviews and plotting data points to form a foundation for an "equity office" at City Hall.


quote:

that the unemployment rate for African Americans stood at 14 percent, compared to 5.5 percent for whites.


quote:

All that has been lost because the country clubs have been closed, and the corporate doors have been shut. And we haven't opened up, and (we) only let certain kinds of people in who are not really like everybody else. It is almost incalculable about what we have lost. And that is not just an issue of, 'Oh, we have not been fair,' it is that we lost."


quote:

would lay groundwork for each city department to assess its own disparities among racial, gender, sexual orientation and economic lines -- both within its own ranks and how it dispenses city services. That would then become a blueprint for new policies, new approaches.


GFD, can't this clown just go away. Maybe if certain ethnic groups would get an education and not live off the dole, their unemployment rate wouldn't be so high. I for one wouldn't let certain people in to my close circle. Effin Animals.

The left and the intelligentsia seem to operate under this assumption that outcomes of any kind, especially employment or hiring demographics, would be equal if they were allowed to arrange society a certain way.

Wait one Cotton Pickin second. I was told here that the vast majority of black people do not work and that they live off the government.

There is nothing more dishonest on the planet than this particular literary device.

You were told nothing here. You read individuals giving their opinions, and I guarantee you can't find a single one that said "most."

Unemployment for black males in New Orleans is likely closer to 50-70%, not 14.

Maybe if they included the occupation of drug dealer and gang member, it would be closer to 14%.

The most recent data shows that 52 percent of black males in New Orleans are unemployed. In comparison, that number stood at 48 percent in 2000.

Come on, mayor. Just go ahead and pass a city reparations tax and be done with it. We know that's what you want to do.

This is in-fricking-tolerable. I refuse to accept that this is some sweeping institutional racism that is keeping black males from gainful employment. Until this changes, nothing in the black community will be fixed. 10% unemployment may be due to some disadvantages a particular race may face in the job market; 52% unemployment is straight up entitlement/laziness.
