It has taken less than one year of Trump regulation-cutting, and just the prospect of tax reform, to create the best employment prospects for African-Americans in history, according to employment data just released this morning. Christopher Rugaber of the Associated Press reports:

The unemployment rate remained 4.1 percent for a third straight month, the lowest level since 2000, the Labor Department said Friday.

The welfare state’s creation for lazy bums who do not work actually began in the 1930s and the Great Society expanded on that exponentially.

That’s right, under FDR’s “New Deal”.

What did Trump say in Detroit during the campaign:

“What do you have to lose?”

Back in the 1920s before welfare, blacks had the lowest unemployment rate of any group.

Before 1865 there was 0% unemployment for blacks.

MSM mostly silent on this...if reported it’s on page 3 of the business section, beneath the fold.

Here is CNNs ho-hum approach. http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/05/news/economy/black-unemployment/index.html

It won’t matter, They’ll still vote for the democrat 90%+

You cannot fix ignorance, sadly.

Until public schools return to teaching, and not indoctrinating, don’t expect this voting block to ever stop being house slaves.

Man, this is going to be ALL OVER the local news in Oakland, Los Angeles, New York City, Washington DC, Detroit, Miami, Houston, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Baltimore!

The local news affiliates there, so anxious to call out RACISM every time a black criminal is shot, will NOW be happy to report that jobs are coming back into the black community under Donald Trump!

Oh, no doubt they would blame Trump. But, again, this doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to give him credit for starting a trend he was merely continuing.

So good! The Dems have to be in a state of chaos!

And...

And the jobless rate for veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq fell to 3.3 percent, also a record low

As people from all groups see their lives improve under President Trump, the lefties’ temper tantrums are going to look more and more stupid.

Wow they’re rich enough to afford cable TV! Actually I think cable TV comes first in the list of priorities in Black America. Rent comes dead last ( if not raised correctly).
