lol. Looks pretty good from my point of view. Black unemployment at an all time low. Inner city programs in black areas by the Trump administration to get jobs and off the streets....

Unless you are only wanting reparations? That's what Democrats want to do...until you vote for them. Then they don't give a flying F about you.

Um, because WE get to pay for it.

Yeah, maybe Joe Biden will help you with this one. #JoeChina.

Why do you keep saying that? Are you aware of the fact that black unemployment is the lowest in history right now?

Here is the thing. Trump has INCREASED the size of the government, via increasing SPENDING and increasing the deficit and NATIONAL DEBT. In other words, Trump is just using the American Credit card to boost spending and the economy and hence the size of government. When did such activity become "conservative/republican"? The republican party is supposed to be the party for SMALL GOVERNMENT, decreasing government spending, balanced budgets, etc. You praise Trump for acting like a liberal and you condemn Obama even though he acted in many ways (including war) like a Republican.

It was lower during the centuries of black enslavement. Is Trump creating Jobs of livable wage? Are these jobs part time? Do these jobs offer health benefits?



Just looking at unemployment rates leaves out so many variables of economic well being.

Why do I keep saying it? Because it is what it is.

Actually, Black unemployment is not the lowest it has ever been in history. It's not even the lowest it's been in the last 70 years. The lowest it has ever been was 4.6%, in 1953. And Black unemployment rates went up between 2018 and 2019. Blacks are the only group to see a rise in unemployment between 2018-2019.

That was probably a mistake on his part, but other than that I agree, the GOP is not your party if government programs and promises of free stuff at taxpayer expense are what sways a voting base.

Why not just admit that you want to use corporate greed to punish people for behavior that you personally disapprove of?
