The most recent data shows that 52 percent of black males in New Orleans are unemployed. In
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.

We just need to throw a big fricking net over the city and lock em all up or send them to the East and build a wall.

52% is probably a low ball. Drive around Central City for a day and you'll be thinking that number is far closer to 70%.

The hard truth is that if you have very little education in this day and age, you are practically unemployable. There isn't a jobs program, or affirmative active program that's gonna change that. You're just trapped.

I'd venture a portion of that is the city's inconsistent police, DA, public defender and jail system too
I'm not saying every case is unfair and every conviction false but we sure do handle justice poorly and if you are the one unable to bail out or pleading guilty just to get it or... it sure does effect your job opportunities too (even if they weren't great by your own doing prior)
