If all of this unemployment out here was ONLY effecting blacks and other minorities would you be here crying a river of tears for us? No, you would not. When things have a major impact on whites just as it does everyone else then white people try to make it a white issue and want everyone to rally around you and have mercy. Many people are impacted by this economy and in worse ways than white people. I will feel for someone who cannot get a meal, has no water to take a fresh bath/shower, etc. I am not going to cry for someone who has to start driving their 1985 Cutlass Supreme because their 2008 Mercedes was repossessed. That is not a tragedy because they still have transportation and even if they did not, they can walk, ride the bus or get rides. It does not compare to people who are in detrimental situations like homelessness, hunger, sickness/illness, can't afford their prescription medications, have no health insurance, etc, due to unemployment!! A lot of white people want pity because they are losing luxuries while others are not even able to acquire the basic necessities to surive. So, I don't want to hear that sob story!!!!
