Reducing Black Joblessness
In March, as the national unemployment rate remained at 9.7 percent for the third straight month, the rate for black men rose to 20.2 The May edition of City Limits magazine presents a comprehensive investigation of the causes, consequences and political controversy of black male joblessness.
“Amid alarm over high black male unemployment in New York City and elsewhere, it’s easy to forget that most black men are in the labor force and have jobs, that most have never been to prison, have graduated high school and are not poor. It’s not that most black men are disconnected from the workforce—just that too many are.”

"We should cultivate the ability to say no to activities for which we have no time, no talent, and which we have no interest or real concern. If we learn to say no to many things, then we will be able to say yes to the things that matter most."

"How hard it is for us to accept where we are at a given point, how we always are trying to figure out what we’re made to do, when in fact we’re already in pursuit of it. We’re always trying to figure out the end of the story instead of going page by page."

Tall Enough | Short Film Directed By Barry Jenkins
The short film is part of Bloomingdale’s Film Festival, BFlix. I peeped the poster when I bought my new umbrella from Bloomingdale’s. You may or may not know of Jenkins through his film ‘Medicine for Melancholy’, which also touches on racial issues, a city’s division and general poverty surrounding romance. Give that a watch, if you can find it. Tall Enough is also about a romance and race, but doesn’t have time to get heavy for serious details.
Me…I absolutely ADORE this short. The phone conversation at the beginning sounds like me and my mother. It all is just…lovely.
