January 1997:
Unemployment rate among African-Americans = 10.8.
Unemployment rate among Latinos = 8.3.
On the other hand, there’s this:
January 2005:
Unemployment rate among African-Americans = 10.6.
Unemployment rate among Latinos = 6.1.

where to start....
the total population of black americans has increased by over 10% in the last decade, yet there are less black americans employed today than when Bush took office.
their participation rate has decreased. the number unemployed has increased, and (most directly contradicting the stat you mention above) the number not in the labor force has increased.
makes that "unemployment rate among african -americans" cited very hollow.
I think a look at the hispanic stats might be in order...
