In reply to Black unemployment hits 13.7%

As the report you're linking to says that black unemployment "showed little or no change" at 13.7%, I think the best direct source for making your point might be Table A-2. Employment status of the civilian population by race, sex, and age. For black men and women (civilian) we see the average unemployment has been:

Not Seasonally Adjusted			Seasonally Adjusted
June 2012	May 2013	June 2013	June 2012	Feb. 2013	Mar. 2013	Apr. 2013	May 2013	June 2013
14.8	13.2	14.3	14.4	13.8	13.3	13.2	13.5	13.7

For reference sake, the sequester began on March 1, 2013.

By the way, it seems that the real (i.e., "not seasonally adjusted") unemployment rate for black non-institutionalized civilians is 14.3%. Also noteworthy is that the "not seasonally adjusted" unemployment rate for black teens (16-19) is 48.6%!
