Truth:

Most Blacks are in the workforce and very hard workers.

How can a people who built this nation and did it for free suddenly become the laziest people in the nation? According to the US Census Bureau, 68.1% of all Black men and 62.3% of Black women over the age of 16 are in the civilian labor force, compared to 73% of white men and 59.9% of white women. With ethnic discrimination and other challenges, more African Americans are still working than sitting at home. While the majority of poor people in America are Black, the majority of Black people are NOT poor. Of the 33.7 million Blacks in this nation, 8.1 million have incomes below the poverty line.
