President Trump 'So Happy' Black Unemployment Rate At A Historic Low
National Propaganda Radio ^ | January 6, 2018 | BRAKKTON BOOKER

Posted on 01/06/2018 7:10:06 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump took to Twitter on Saturday to highlight the historic drop in the unemployment rate among African-Americans, a day after the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the rate fell below 7 percent for the month of December — the lowest mark for black Americans since the bureau began tracking the data in the early 1970s.

"The African American unemployment rate fell to 6.8%, the lowest rate in 45 years. I am so happy about this News! And, in the Washington Post (of all places), headline states, 'Trumps first year jobs numbers were very, very good.' "

Okay, so here’s the list so far:

Things Democrats need to set the public straight about:

Explain to Americans why it’s bad to be able to keep their own money, after lowered taxes

Explain to Americans why the bonuses are bad

Explain to Americans why the raises are bad

Explain to Black Americans why it’s bad to have a job for the first time in eight years

Explain to Black Americans why it’s bad that the Black unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been since tracking started

Just think what the “minority” unemployment rate might be if 30 million wetbacks were sent packing!

Explain to Americans why a record high stock market is bad.

Explain to Americans why they are freezing their butts off in all this global warming.

This will of course be seen as a racist attack against black people.

Why?

Because it just is. And the fact that you question that makes YOU a racist, too.

So there.

I wish people would stop using the term African-Americans.

Black people in America are U.S. citizens. They are Americans, period. Enough with this divisive crap when blacks would choose America in a nanosecond over some s--thole in Africa.

Now, explain to Black Americans why their “free $hit” is being cut off!

That’s the “tough sell!”

When he runs for re-election in 2020 he should ask all the blacks who found jobs AFTER he was elected to vote for him and ask all of their friends and relatives to vote for him.

Heard two jackwagons on NPR last Saturday afternoon bemoaning the “alt-right” attack on Charlottesville. These same two idiots lumped in the antifa anarchists with the “alt-right”. These two lying subhumans totally trashed Trump and his supporters.

NPR must be eviscerated — at least forced to be “fair.”

Amazing how the Democrat Thug Party’s “fair” agenda never applied to the publicly funded NPR.

Are they still using the same phony way of calculating unemployment, disappearing all those whose benefits have run out from the calculations?

And if there was a work requirement for public assistance. A hand up instead of a hammock.

Defund it, and let it survive on voluntary contributions from those who want it.
