The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel proves, once again, that there is no news so good that they can’t put a negative spin on it.

Instead of taking the opportunity to brag about the fact that Forbes magazine called Milwaukee one of the best places to be a young professional, viagra usa click the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just had to turn the news into a condemnation of the city:

Forbes magazine named Milwaukee one of the best places to live for young professionals, cheap but that may not be the case for many young, physician professional African-Americans.

They point out:

According to 2000 U.S. Census data, 50.7% Milwaukee’s black households earned less than $25,000, with most of those earning less than $15,000.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that Milwaukee’s high school graduation rate is around 45%?

The lack of a black middle-class is not the fault of business in Milwaukee. The blame lies with the same people the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel regularly backs: the teacher’s unions, the Democrats that actually run Milwaukee, and the inner-city culture that devalues education.

After all, it’s hard to get into the middle class if you don’t bother to go to class in the first place.
