Black unemployment rate tops 16%

More than 95% of African Americans voted for Barack Obama in 2008, according to exit polls.

Today, the Labor Dept. announced that the unemployment rate for August 2010 has risen to 9.6% but the unemployment rate for black workers has risen to 16.3% - up from 15.6% in July.

And let's not forget that U.S. unemployment stood at 7.6% when Obama took office.

How's that hope and change working out for Obama supporters?
