Black Unemployment Rate Has Never Been This Close To The White Unemployment Rate (money, support)

If things are as peachy as you all claim they are, we still aren’t gonna give Trump the credit. Perish the thought. We know better.

So here’s a bucket of cold water.

I question that. There are black people that are smart, educated, productive people. That want to advance and to provide for their families. I expect that you will see them supporting president Trump when they see their lives and the lives of their families and friends get better under his leadership.

Not ALL blacks are ignorant racists that want to listen to rap all day, collect a welfare check and "blame whitey".

The black unemployment rate has never been closer to the white unemployment rate

As of May, the black unemployment rate is 2.4 points higher than the white unemployment rate, the first time it has ever been less than 3 points higher.

How much of this is a function of Trump’s leadership is unclear, as is the effort to determine the relationship between any president and major economic indicators. Since he has been president, the overall unemployment rate has fallen one point, and the black unemployment rate has fallen nearly two points.

They just can't give Trump credit. But the fact that they use the word "unclear" (instead of outright denying Trump is responsible) implies that it is slowly sinking in.

The OP did not look at the chart in his own link which shows the gap has been narrowing for several years, well before Trump became president.

I am one of those "smart, educated, productive people", but, guess what...Trump is still not getting my vote.

I think we rely on government and government leaders too much to run our daily lives. For the most part they need to get out of the way.

The White Establishment has always known that Blacks are hard workers.

The problem has always been getting them to do it.

The Whites have tried everything from Whips to Welfare.

One thing that hasn't been tried yet is respect, equal rights, and equal pay.

And not all Caucasian White Americans are morons that said that the president of the United States (Barack Hussein Obama) was born in Kenya Africa.

P.S. I hate RAP....

When he took office we were in the middle of a recession, which didnt peak until the middle of his second year when it comes to job loss.

You are trying to make this left vs right, when this should be a simple discussion about the realities of the world.

This post is exactly why so many African Americans don't vote for Republicans.

You cannot say that without a citation or a link lets see some proof and evidence.

Free African American citizens and British citizens sometimes owned black slaves in order to free them from the institution of slavery.

At other times Sub-Saharan blacks owned other Sub-Saharan black slaves , but they did not have a Institution of Genocide set up against their own Black Race.

Wow. Thanks. I learned about blacks today from some white dude in Idaho that hasn’t seen a black person in a decade and doesn’t have a black person living within a 300 mile radius of him. You don’t even know an African American.

LMAO @ “I question that.” You’re welcome to question me about how many cinder blocks it takes to hold up a single wide or how many Russets fit in a burlap bag. When it comes to black folks, leave the assertions to the experts.
