Black Unemployment Down, but are Democrats Happy About It?
The Daily Dose of Reason ^ | June 14, 2018 | Dr. Michael J Hurd

President Trump repeatedly points out that black unemployment is at its lowest point ever.

His premise is that more black persons with jobs is a good thing.

If you’re rational, you’ll agree.

But if you’re a Democratic politician, your job — and sense of moral superiority — depends on blacks remaining unemployed. Because if they’re unemployed, it means they’re more dependent on government health care, government welfare, food stamps, and all the rest.

Ditto for other minorities.

Democratic leftist politicians want black people on the plantation. Not literally, because there are no plantations. The modern plantation is the government dependence of the welfare state.

If I’m wrong, then why are Democrats so angry and hostile that black unemployment is down under the Trump administration?


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Culture/Society; Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: blacks; democrats; plantation; trump; unemployment
The democrats are concerned only with their midterm election prospects. The plight of their constituents means nothing. The only legitimate purpose of the welfare state is to get people off welfare. This is the last thing the democrats want. Their reaction to improving employment numbers among minorities betrays their hypocrisy.

And you got the whole crumbs thing going on for Democrats. I expect then to say that all these new jobs are minimum wage , can’t support a family, all that stuff.. they are developing talking points on this I’m sure

Trump should argue that democrats who held every position of power under Obama’s first two years, had the ability to help black unemployment but did nothing. Democrats could always help blacks get jobs. They just don’t want to help blacks succeed because then they would stop voting democrat. Once you start working you are more likely to become republican. Trump should point out that anyone could do what he did. hey just wanted to keep blacks hungry and businesses happy.

Democrats don’t like the low unemployment for minorities because no minority person should think that it is more profitable to work than to collect Democrat provided largess.

Democrats need black suffering so they can blame it on freedom.

Just a means to a totalitarian end.

Clearly, they are not. The democrats are the plantation owners.

Black unemployment is down because Obama shoved them all on to disability to hide his horrible numbers...dems know this... so they are still upset.

The news can’t admit that, because it would tarnish their saviour...so they have to sit and stew.

Black unemployment is also down because jobs are available to them again; their replacements (braceros from south of the border) are on the run.
