The public should be skeptical whether the federal government can be trusted to implement a second, smaller stimulus to create jobs. <br /><br />President Obama last week called on Congress to spend more — as much as $200 billion, by some estimates — to put people to work. The nation's unemployment stands at 10 percent (in Michigan, it's 14.2 percent), and surveys suggest that large companies will continue to shrink their work forces in the coming months. <br /><br />Of course, wasn't the first stimulus — the optimistically titled American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — supposed to prevent much of this?

Now, just like in Russia: “They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work.”<br /><br />Detroit’s school system is disintegrating by the week. <br /><br />Detroit has sunk to robbing its own teachers to scrape payroll funds together.

Blow in Saturday's New York Times will effectively crush it. <br /><br />Mr. Blow, who is black, wrote of his despair that the election of Barack Obama will achieve anything positive for blacks or for black-white relations. <br /><br />In fact, according to Mr. Blow, and one suspects the great majority of black and white liberals, things have not only not gotten better for blacks, racism -- meaning, of course, white racism against blacks since no other form of racism is discussed in the New York Times -- has actually increased. <br /><br />His proof for this charge? <br /><br />"We are now inundated with examples of overt racism on a scale to which we are unaccustomed." <br /><br />And what are his examples of "overt racism on a scale to which we are unaccustomed"? He provided two. <br /><br />The first and presumably most important is that "Racially offensive images of the first couple are so prolific online that Google now runs an apologetic ad with the results of image searches of them." <br /><br />Having never seen a racially offensive image of the first couple, I was curious about what Mr. Blow was referring to. <br /><br />Though I spend hours a day researching on the Web, I had somehow overlooked how "inundated" the Web is with racist images. <br /><br />Luckily, Mr. Blow provides a URL --an Internet link -- to make his case. <br /><br />I clicked on the link, and sure enough, there is a statement by Google titled "An explanation of our search results," in which Google notes that "Sometimes Google search results from the Internet can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries. <br /><br />We assure you that the views expressed by such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google." <br /><br />The statement continues along those lines, but there is not a word about racism, blacks, the first couple, or anything related. <br /><br />It is a generic apology, one that I had never in fact encountered. <br /><br />So not having had any luck corroborating Mr. Blow's accusation of "overt racism on a scale to which we are unaccustomed" on the Internet, I searched "first couple," clicked on "images," even making sure that the Google filter was turned off, and all I saw were hundreds of beautiful images of the beautiful-looking first couple. <br /><br />I then searched on "Michelle and Barack Obama pictures" and got similar results. <br /><br />One must conclude that Mr. Blow wildly exaggerated, if not made it up, when he wrote that America is "inundated" with "overt racism" on the Internet (or anywhere else). <br /><br />His second argument for an increasingly racist America is: "And it's not all words and images (again, none of which I saw); it's actions as well. <br /><br />According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's 2008 hate crimes data released last week, anti-black hate crimes rose 4 percent from 2007..." <br /><br />Wow. A 4 percent increase in anti-black hate crime. <br /><br />Is that an indication of a major increase in anti-black racism in America? You decide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
