I personally flinched when Trump said that illegals are taking “black jobs”. That can be spun to indicate that he thinks certain less prestigious employment is what blacks should have.
Yes, we know he doesn’t think that way, but the enemedia will spin it there.
“Black jobs” are the local jobs that black people have. It has nothing to do with “prestige” of those jobs. It was said within the context of employment rate for black Americans.
It wasn’t twisted because of how Trump said it. It was twisted because the folks doing the twisting aren’t acting in any sort of good faith in the discussion.
