Need a job? Many companies say "Fvck your unemployed azz"

It's been a second since Folk been on the corner! But Folk back, posted up, yelling, screaming, hollering, and calling companies that discriminate against fvckers who ain't got a job some modern era racist fvckers who make Arizona look like a lover of dark Brazilian women in Africa.

Now it is said, and Folk quotes, "There is no law prohibiting discrimination against the unemployed, though advocates said the practice could be illegal if it had a 'disparate impact' on minority groups." Now Folk don't know 'bout y'all but the last time Folk's brown azz checked, the majority of unemployed folks in the good ol' USofA were minorities. Isn't that a disparate impact?

But check this shyt out.

The Cleveland Model: Job Creation, the Government, & the Hypocrisy of Governor Haley Barbour

Last week the good news was the pickup of the most jobs in one month in three years - 162,000 to be exact. Today the new hype is that the Dow Jones is slightly above 11,000 for the first time in a year and a half. Both are indicators of the economy slowly creeping back in the right direction - hooray for free market advocates! However, the reality, as all economists will tell you, is that unemployment will continue to lag behind (if not slightly increase) for a long time to come. I'm not trying to be a party pooper; but instead, I'm just keepin it real witch'yall so as to not forget the masses of people living this current American nightmare on Main Street.

And since I'm traveling down the road of stir fried shit where many Americans currently reside - unlike the suits on Wall Street. Lemme show you much more the government themselves can have a significant impact in job creation. Let some people tell it, there's no way the government can create jobs. But, if you take a few minutes to watch the following short documentary created by an independent media source, you'll see differently. In it, you'll be surprised to see just how Mississippi Governor, Haley Barbour - one of many republican governors who condemned last years Stimulus Package - is using said federal funds to create jobs. Which isn't too bad for a fat redneck with an accent I might add; especially when he's considered a republican presidential hopeful in 2012; keep his hypocrisy in mind when he makes his run, and remember where you heard it first. Especially if you remember his speech this weekend at the recent SRLC (Southern Republican Leadership Conference) Klan Rally in New Orleans.

Barack Obama signs Student Loan reform bill, and Negroes are happy

Well, depending on who you are, and who you ask. This is yet another one of those government takeovers. But of course this isn't the opinion of the ignorant. Leave to them to shape political discourse and they'll tell you that it is nothing but reparations for the tens of thousands if not millions of unemployed black folks in America due to the economy. Not a bad idea actually; that is, unless you're not into the whole idea of evening the playing field via the great equalizer that is education. Or, if you're opposed to the eventual creation of more competition in the job market due to an influx of newly educated black workers. You know, black people who are now motivated to go college because of Student Loan Reform, and the following commercial:
