Mr. Hutchinson writes:

“Obama presents absolutely no evidence to back up this devastating indictment.”

Then makes this statement:

“The chronic near Great Depression levels of unemployment, not to mention rampant job discrimination, endemic failing public schools, and stigma of a criminal record virtually condemn many young black men to wear the tag of societal failures as men and fathers.”

What a hack!!

Unemployment in 1933 sttod at 24.9%. In April it was 5%.

Rampant job discrimination? Evidence?

As to the failing schools, I agree. But it isn’t due to a lack of funding.

According to a 2003 review by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the US spent an average of $10,240 per pupil from elementary schol through college, ranking them first in the world. The average among more than 25 nations surveyed was $6,361.

Stigma of a criminal record? What, should we praise them.

What a hack.
