Great news.

[Maine Mariner]

And for many years the black unemployment rate was twice
the rate for white unemployment. So the black unemployment rate has dropped, but almost as important the gap has dropped as well. Good news indeed.

Dems are in a panic!...................

Yes, next they’ll be claiming this low black unemployment rate is....INSANE!! We can’t have this kind of progress for blacks, it’s ‘dangerous’ to their agenda.

[I want the USA back]

This IS because of Trump. He talked about Black unemployment, and has done something about it. But the left hates him for it. They want Blacks on welfare and dependent on government and hating Whitey.
F*ck the left.

Media spin: Trump is forcing black people to work, that’s slavery!

[Vision Thing]

Not only have the libs failed to abort all blacks in America, but they have failed to keep them all down.

Trump is delivering for all, not just some, Americans.

[17th Miss Regt]

It is because they are disappearing into the cotton fields again, enslaved, branded and being forced to pick cotton for right wing slave masters like the Koch brothers. We fought a civil war to end this and now the Republicans are bringing it all back! Donald Trump, what have you wrought?

I don’t think it’s the lowest in history. Just the lowest in 40 years. Back in the 1920s before welfare, blacks had the lowest unemployment rate of any group.

Very good points.

It was downhill after “The Great Society” and other programs kicked in.

[redhead]

“Rate?” or “Level?”

[Pride in the USA]

More excellent news!

[CommieCutter]

LMAO!!

[CommieCutter]

And before Unions.

[cranked]

Umm, no. They will continue to vote for the party who sought to keep them in chains....

[Crucial]

It should with illegals not flooding in, the economy improving and affirmative action in education and employment.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

When Americans are able to earn a wage that meets their needs and begin to prosper in the economic machine of a free America (the greatest show on earth) they put on their thinking caps and walk toward the light of true libertarian-conservative thought.

Hopefully. But then, Jews are among the most prosperous citizens generally speaking, yet they continue (as a group) to maintain leftist political views. I think the best we can hope for is that a larger minority of blacks will move away from the blandishments of liberalism.

"I think the employment rate was very high in 1860"

Clever! New headline on its way. "Trump Returns African Americans to Slavery Level Statistics"

[trebb]

Yep - maybe they will call having more Blacks with jobs as a form of “slavery to the man”.....Nancy - are you listening?

[usurper]

I think it's ridiculous to claim credit specifically for improving black unemployment.

And what do you think the MSM would be reporting if the black unemployment rate had gone up?
