Democratic warnings that President Trump would make life worse for minorities were discredited once again Friday, with the release of new unemployment statistics for December. In just under one year in office, the president and the Republican Congress have helped minorities make dramatic gains.
Since taking the reins from President Obama, President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress have embraced free-market and pro-liberty economic policies. Now – after a year of reducing regulations, approving a tax cut, and encouraging stricter standards for numerous welfare programs at the state level – the economy is thriving. Working-age minorities are benefitting in ways they have rarely, if ever, have enjoyed in the modern era.
The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate for African-Americans fell to 6.8 percent in December – the lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1972. That’s an astounding drop from the 8.3 percent black unemployment rate in October 2016, just before Donald Trump was elected president.
Hispanic unemployment was at a near-record low of 4.9 percent in December – down from 5.7 percent the month before the election of President Trump. Additionally, there were four months in 2017 in which the Hispanic seasonal unemployment fell below 5 percent – the only time that has occurred in a single year over the past 44 years.
Asian-Americans, the demographic group that typically has the lowest unemployment rate, enjoyed a 2.5 percent unemployment rate in December – the lowest figure since 2006.
The overall U.S. unemployment rate in December was 4.1 percent, matching the lowest level in 17 years – down from 4.9 percent in October 2016.
In addition to putting more Americans to work, President Trump’s economic and job-creation policies are creating once-in-a-lifetime economic opportunities.

Interesting isn’t it, that Trump’s ‘attack’ (on the plantation walls) is based on some of the values of that community- ‘macho’, bling, swagger, ‘trash talking’ opponents, not backing down but instead escalating when attacked... Our President would not bring a knife to a gunfight, he’d bring SEAL team six plus a few extra snipers and some savvy infomercials :-)
Thanks Kaslin

The Mentally unfit President keeps his promises and everybody is winning. What a mental case.
obama's measures are just starting to kick in. :-)
Most blacks in America are too racist to ever give Trump credit.
After all, he’s a “white guy.”
But good black Americans like Colonel Alan West won’t hesitate.
Ohh Jeez!! Colonel West! He’s an OREO!!! An UNCLE TOM!!
(and I’d follow that man into combat without the bat of an eye. that’s just me.)

Unless they give 0bama credit for it.
ALL weather scientists KNOW that this cold wave is a direct result of Global Warming (RIP).
Democrats cannot be happy. Samuel Gompers was asked what his union demand was, and famously replied, “More!”A demand for “more” is ingratitude for what you have. And ingratitude is The Key to Unhappiness - Denis Prager (5 minutes, but a jewel)
Thanks for the ping.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. He made a lot of excellent points.
My pleasure.
