Recession... Duh

Attention Attention, it is now OFFICIAL...we've been in a recession for the past year! Well...Duh!

Have our government officials been strung out on crack for the past year? Of course were in a recession. Maybe their heads and egos are so high in the clouds that they don't see the unemployment lines forming at their feet. The wall street crashes, the bailouts, the foreclosed homes...did you really need a research group to tell you that we're in a recession?

This recession in my opinion has gone on for way more than a year. Coming from where I'm from, everyday is a rececession for many. Black folks being laid off, thrown out of their homes, and not being able to pay their bills is a regular occurance. I know folks who don't have money for groceries, folk swho are living in shelters, children who won't get christmas toys.Now that white folks are struggling, we are in a recession. WHEN WILL BLACK AMERICA RECIEVE A BAILOUT?
