Trump questions why Dems win black vote
The Hill ^ | 09/30/18 02:10 PM EDT | MICHAEL BURKE

Posted on 09/30/2018 3:20:39 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump on Sunday questioned why Democrats generally win the support of black voters, writing on Twitter that the party has "done NOTHING for African-Americans but TALK."

"So if African-American unemployment is now at the lowest number in history, median income the highest, and you then add all of the other things I have done, how do Democrats, who have done NOTHING for African-Americans but TALK, win the Black Vote? And it will only get better!" he tweeted.

Trump has frequently touted the level of black unemployment under his administration. In March, he admitted to wrongly claiming that it was at its lowest point in history.

The president and the White House have also falsely claimed in the past that the Trump administration has created more jobs for African-Americans than former President Obama did.

Because most are scared of parting ways in their circle of black friends and being ostracized...especially in the high yella or black elite groups.

Read my lips...folks...POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama did absolutely nothing whatsoever to improve the dismal plight of African-Americans.

The one and only thing he did was to keep them locked onto and into the “ECONOMIC SLAVE PLANTATIONS” where he could control the and their votes. Just mention the ongoing slaughter of innocents in the African-American streets of the Chicago ghetto, that’s the gift of Obama!!!

Truth be known, Obama was neither friend nor ally to African-Americans at all.

The positive good news is that American Blacks by rapidly increasing numbers are now supporting POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!!

That’s true but they can still vote Republican and keep it to themselves.

The answer is something a lot of people don’t want to talk about. A. A lot of black people despise white people underneath it all and see the R’s as the party of rich white people.
B. Regardless of black unemployment number, a lot of black people who make above the national average salary are working for the state or federal government and see R’s trying to cut government spending.
C. Black people are still disproportionately on some government assistance program whether it be welfare or “disability”.

True...and many will...if a friend asks if they voted for so and so, and they say, No, I voted for Trump, that’s the moment of truth ...

It seems the only fake news here is in the article. If you check out the data at the BLS, May 2018 is the lowest ever. (Adjust the start year to 1972.)

What dismal plight?

They clearly have more opportunities than I do, being an old white guy.

The hatred in this article is crazy. They assert without a link or quote that he supposedly admitted wrongly asserting record low black unemployment in March (which I don’t remember but OK) but then leave it to the final paragraph to acknowledge that yes there was record unemployment in May.

Well, to the folks at The Hill I give you that. Trump was wrong. Wrong I tell you. Under Trump, black unemployment wasn't at the lowest point, "in history."

But, when it was "at the lowest point in history," it was democrats trying to keep it that way. -on actual plantations.

It's not just in the U.S. During his speech earlier this year at the Etnofutur II conference in Tallin, Millennial Woes pointed out that all over Europe, third-world minorities wield enormous political power by ignoring all other issues and voting with racial solidarity for whichever major party is the farthest to the Left. This "tactical voting", in combination with the votes of white leftists, makes them a swing vote and puts them in the drivers seat.

D. Republicans, usually, are the party of law and order, which results in a disproportion number of incarcerated blacks (who commit a disproportionately large amount of violent crime) with longer sentences.

E. Most blacks don’t actually vote, Democrats register and cast their ballots for them.

I’ve always wondered why Blacks vote Democrat. Not one Republican owned a slave. A Republican president fought to free the slaves and thousands died doing so. Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act. Democrats created welfare and the slums where Blacks lived in horrific conditions for decades. Democrats have kept Blacks subservient. It boggles my mind!

In a similar vein, it is equally mysterious why the Jewish people usually give the Dems their vote. Despite the fact that Republican presidents have consistently been the biggest supporters of Israel and that it took a Republican president to finally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
