Deliberate attack on the black woman ? Really ?

But then she says black women are more successful now than ever ..

Seems like a contradiction no ?

Have you seen any attacks by the Trump admin specifically against black women . Sounds like more pushing of victimization culture ..

Black unemployment is at historic lows and I imagine college enrollment is also at all time highs too .

There is a division in this country. They can say that it’s not. But we are not post-racial at all," Ryan said. "But when you dig into the weeds it’s beyond race. It’s now going down to the Black woman. There is a deliberate attack on the Black woman.”

Elaborating further, Ryan went on to suggest that the reason the current administration seems to be committed to tearing Black women down is because we continue to expand on our successe

Black women are now rising in number as head of household, wage earners," Ryan reminded festival attendees, while also pointing out that the piercing attacks from the administration are no coincidenc

It is all about making choices. Some people CHOSE to focus on skin color. what can you do?

oh, you don't like me, because you are a racist and I am (insert a skin color here).

oh, you don't date me, because you are a racist and I am (inset a skin color here).

Sensitive much? Maybe you are not a very likeable person or maybe you are just not suitable for the job.

I must have missed it. What did he request ?
Maybe that she should represent the truth for a change.

General Kelly once said, "An empty barrel makes the most noise" All Hell Breaks Loose.

I think there is truth to that statement.

I had to click on your link to see who she was to figure out why I should care and low and behold, she is supposed to be a journalist. I have more contempt of them than I have "Contempt of Congress" and I have a lot of contempt for Congress. She could be green and a hermaphrodite. The journalist part is what's drawing the attack. Did you know they have a 37% approval rating?

"When you say the inner cities, are you going to include the CBC, Mr. President, in your conversations with your urban agenda, inner city agenda?" Ryan asked at the contentious White House press conference.

"Well I would, tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting? Are they friends of yours?" Trump asked.

"I'm just a reporter. I know some of them," Ryan replied.

"Let's go, let's set up a meeting. I would love to meet with the Black Caucus," Trump continued.
In reality I don't think he should have said it, but I think she was off base with how she took it and seems to be hanging onto it. It was an innocent yet fairly stupid remark on his part, but I dont believe it was with malice or intent to put any group down.
