Obama's stimulus gave low income black Americans $100's of billions of dollars for improved housing, improved schools, improved public transportation, improved after school programs, improved job training programs, with tax cuts and other benefits for low income black workers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...nt_Act_of_2009

Trump has done what Obama didn't do... give more black Americans jobs than any other president... and with that comes some self-respect for those who no longer needed handouts.

Black unemployment rate has been trending down since 2010 and particularly since 2011. So if you want to give credit to Trump for 2017-18, who gets credit for 2011 until Trump?
That being said, if Trump and Pastor Scott are successful then great. But just like your "the government throwing money at the problem" response is typical and probably accurate, the idea that Trump's plan is just a boondoggle to put money into the hands of the wealthy is a typical lib response and probably just as accurate.
This was an interesting interview with a black pastor who has been working with the racist white supremacist Trump for seven years on ideas for recovering blighted black inner cities. Trump has appointed him CEO of the project for Urban Revitalization and Renewal. This is specifically to help African American neighborhoods. They have three governors on board and lots of progress in moving ahead. I really hope this pans out to be a successful project and not just a political ploy.
Steve Hilton’s “The Next Revolution” show is one of the best on TV. His Swamp Watch part is as hard on republicans as it is on democrats.
Oh, and by the way, Pastor Scott is one of many blacks who have worked for years with Trump and state he is NOT A RACIST. He admits Trump doesn’t communicate well, but he gets things done!
(I believe Trump is an equal opportunity insulter whenever he feels attacked)
This guy, with Michael Cohen, founded the National Coalition for Trump in anticipation of his run for presidency.
Early last year he made a public statement “ Chicago gang leaders would lower body count if new Federal Programs were provided”. Subsequent, he said he had misspoke because he was tired.

And exactly how did Trump supposedly do this? What legislation has he passed, what jobs has he created?
This might be just a dog and pony show to make it seem like Trump actually cares. If they had been working on this for years, why are we just hearing about it now?

Fox News puts the pastor on the air to demonstrate Trump is not a racist just in time to counter the Ormarosa book/ tapes.
Good segment . Trump is a builder and developer. He’s also from the most urban city in America so he gets it .
Unfortunately the left silences people like this pastor even though he’s working hard to actually take action and revitalize communities and bring in better jobs .
If CNN had him on they’d probably spend the whole segment race baiting instead of letting him speak about his plans .
Better jobs require education and marketable skills.
It’s challenging when an 8 year old is out riding a bike as a lookout for an urban gang dealing drugs, instead of attending school.
It’s challenging when a 10 year old is home watching siblings in Appelachia, because mom and/ or dad are too hung over or engaged in the daily grind of getting cash and then making a connection for drugs.
It’s challenging when a 5 year old anywhere is hungry because mom traded SNAP benefits for cigs and lotto tix.
It’s challenging when a 3 year old , anywhere sucks down Dew instead of something remotely nutritious.
It’s challenging when your Christian religion forbids reading and education in favor of cleaning , cooking, being chosen for marriage at age 12.
It’s challenging when your religion and/ or culture encourages procreation in spite of an ability to provide for them.
It’s challenging when bio parents put themselves before the basic needs of their children.

Do you believe Donald Trump lowered the unemployment rate for black Americans, or did Trump inherit a black unemployment rate that has been steadily falling for 10 years?
And under Obama the black unemployment rate fell from 16.1% to 6.8%. And under Trump the black unemployment rate fell from 6.8% to 5.9%.
Did the black unemployment rate fall more under Obama or Trump?
