Letter to the Editor :
Sunday June 21st was Father Ts
Day. Here is Proverbs 31 para-
phrased. Who can find Ta man
of integrity? For such a one is
of priceless value that i increases
_ perpetually.
He walks in the fear T of the
-Lord-and-observes- all of his
statutes. He embraces wisdom
wholeheartedly and continues
in the way of sound discipline.
He maintains discretion and
does not depart from the path
of righteousness, for he under-
stands words of insight.
He treats his wife as he treats
~ his own body, seeking her pro-
tection and well-being at all
times. The heart of his wife
rests beneath his covering and.
flourishes in all fruitfulness un-
der the outpouring of his love.
He is faithful, drinking from his
own well, and is unceasingly
satisfied by the Wife of his
youth, always loving her as a
lover who loves still.
He will do her good and not
evil all the days of his life.
Though he waxes strong, he
exercises hur
He diligently Works to bativer
and supply the needs of his fam-
ily and household. His wife has
no fear of the times to come,
for he prudently considers the
future and prepares for it. He
is kind to the needy, and his
hame is synonymous with Ta-~ T
good report. His reputation
precedes him; others seek his
counsel and follow his example
as well as instruction. His
mouth is,a foundation of life to
his household and to all who
seek refreshing.
He walks in confidence and
sound judgement, administer-
ing wise instruction to his wife
and children,
He sets his house in God-or-
dained order. He redeems his
household covers its inhabit-
ants with prayer.
He considers the words of his
' wife, celebrates her wisdom,
and crowns her as a helpmeet
for him. He grants her a double
portion, blesses her gifts, and
Commun
boasts of her achievements. .
He is clothed in love and faith-
fulness, He trusts and fests se-
cure in the help of his Re-
deemer, -
Many men appear to be desir-
able at first glance, but the man
who fears the Lord is to be
praised, for his witness endures
the test-of time and scrutiny,
Give him the honor he has
eared and let the. work-of his
hands prosper and be spread
abroad.
Happy Father Ts Day !
The Editor :.
Reach for the, 2009 graduates,
no matter what your critics say
_! Remember you will always
have haters trying to stop you. "
How easy it is to get discour-
aged when someone criticizes
something about you. Not ev-
eryone'is going to like you or
your-work. More than likely
people who are displeased are
much more likely to-voice their
opinion.
Apply the 3:P Ts for success-
preparation, perseverance and
pride: Also, apply the 3 D Ts =
discipline, dedication and deter:
mination. Lastly, Norman
Vincent Peale said oBelieve in
yourself and have faith in yee
abilities!
With humble and reasonable
confidence in your own power, .
you can be sticcessful or happy.
Congratulations class of 2009!
Would Ibe Called
A Christian
Would Ibe called a Christian if.
everybody knew My secret
thoughts and feelings and ev-
erything I do ?
Would they see the likeness of
Christ in me each day? Oh,
would they hear Him speak in
everything I say?
Would I be called a Christian if
all could know That I am found
in places Christ would never
go?
Oh, Could they tell the differ-
ence in the songs I sing ? In my
eating, drinking, dressing -in
everything ?
Would I be called a Christian if
judged by what I read ? by my
recreation, and every thought
and deed? Would I be.counted
Christ-like in my work and play,
unselfish, kind, forgiving of oth-
ers every day ?

o*Black men
Peas Wa, te,
June 20, 2009) - African-
Américan men. are finding it
harder to get a job during this
recession and their prospects
May not get better anytime soon.
That's the conclusion of a report,
oWeathering the Storm:. Black
Male Employment in the
Recession, ? released by the
Center for American Progress,
a Washington, D.C.-based think-
tank, on Friday. oThe recession
is taking its toll on most
Americans and has resulted in
job losses not seen in almost 25
years, but Black men have felt
its effects particularly hard, ? the
report Ts author, Alexandra
Cawthorne, said. oBlack men.
have long faced limited
employment prospects and
disproportionately high rates of
unemployment. The current
degree of job loss among Black
men is particularly alarming. ?
Among the report Ts findings:
lead the
unemployment surge, with an
unemployment rate of 15.4
percent *Over a third of young
Black men aged 16 to 19 in the
labor market are unemployed
*Eight percent of Black men
have lost their jobs since
November 2007 *Black men
without criminal records tend to
have a tougher time finding
a employment than White. men
who have been convicted by the
criminal justice system. Those
figures stand out further when
compared to job prospects for
White men, While the
RAS] Unemployment rate for Black
| males is 15,4 percent, it is only
282] 5.5 percent for White males.
"Whites males age 16 to 19 also
do significantly better in the
recession compared to their
Black counterparts; with 17.
percent unemployed and with
median earnings of $55,000,
compared to $35,000 for Black
males. oIt is a fact that a Black
man earn 70 cents to every
dollar of a White man, ? said
Cawthorne. Algeron Austin,
Director of the'Race, Ethnicity
and Economy Program at
Washington Ts Economic Policy
Institute, said that Black men Ts
troubles in the labor market
have had an negative impact on
the economic viability-of Black
America. He. said that
Cawthorne Ts report has
confirmed what he has known
for some time. oBlack
communities. suffer under a
permanent recession, ? Said
Austin. oIt comes from a
number of factors but Black
men have problems finding jobs
because of racial discrimination,
issues with the criminal justice
system and inadequate
education, mainly a large
number of high school
dropouts. ? Black men face
other hurdles as they seek
employment, such ag dealing
with cultural discrimination in
the application process and
having to deal with the credit
industry. oA recent study
examined the effect of a Black-
sounding T name like Jamal
Jones or Tyrone Washington on
receiving a positive response
from employers, ? said Austin.
oResearchers sent out similar
Tesumes with oBlack-sounding T
| Employment is lacking by anes wricn
and oWhite-sounding T names to
employers in Chicago and
Boston. Resumes with White-
sounding T names received 50
percent more callbacks for
interviews. ? BarbaraAmwine,
executive director of the
Lawyers T Committee for Civil
Rights Under Law, said that the
use of credit reports to
determine employment has
become a problem for Black
men. oA story in {USA Today} .
said that 43 percent of
employers check credit history
for entry-level positions, ? said
Arnwine. oThese are not
Positions for middle and upper
management: or even for jobs
handling money: these are for
entry-level jobs. ? Amwine said
that 48 percent of Blacks have
a negative credit history as
opposed to 24 percent-of
Whites. She attributes the high
negative credit ratings among
Blacks to lack of financial
education and poor -
employment prospects. oIt is a
dilemma for Black men, ? she
said. oThey are not able to get
ajob to pay their creditors, ? The
report recommends certain
steps that policymakers should
make to help Black men in the
labor market: *Combat racial
discrimination by employers;
*Modernize the unemployment
insurance system; *Support the
Employee Free Choice Act,
which allows workets the right
to unionize much, easier;
oImprove education and early
links to the labor market;
*Support the creation of ogreen
jobs ? in low-income
communities; and *Develop
comprehensive re-entry
services for ex-offenders.
Arnwine said a bill that will be
introduced in the U.S, Congress
shortly, the Equal Employment
for All Act of 2009, will level
the employment field for people
who cannot find work because
of negative credit histories.
Cawthorne said that Solving the
Black male unemployment
problem will help the nation as
a whole. ?Racial equality and
equal opportunity must be at the
forefront of policies that will
advance economic recovery and
create jobs, ? she said.
oPolicymakers should not only
access the actual and
anticipated effects of Policies
and budgets on disadvantaged
communities like low-skilled
Black men, but also identify
Ways t© maximize equity and
inclusion-especially in the
context of the economic
recovery, ?
