Do u believe that Donald Trump is making race relations in the US worse ? 💹

I do. It would be rather stupid to ignore his hate filled rhetoric over the past year and pretend that is he is not amplifying the fears of some Americans. And lets also remember his ugly words about the players in the NFL and NBA too.
What do you think. After this latest tragedy here in Pittsburgh, PA, do you believe that Donald Trump is causing some racial tensions to worsen here in the US or even across the globe. Let's talk about it. And while you are at it Google Robert Bowers if you dare. Comments please.

If the media was not so intent to twist the truth, ignore facts and downright lie, we would not have so many ignorant people hating Trump who has helped everyone. Helped minorities more than any president before.

@AnneHoney How has Trump helped minorities when he gives voice to white supremacists, and has overseen a significant increase in hate crimes?

The media is reporting the facts as best they can with a president who lies with impunity--more than 7000 times so far and counting.

None of that is true. Minorities employment at an all time high. Minority wages at an all time high. Minority wealth at an all time high. Minority home ownership at an all time high. 4 million off food stamps because they have jobs. Real change notbthe BS that has been promised for years and not delivered.@windinhishair

@AnneHoney You need to check your facts instead of repeating talking points.

Minority home ownership is not at an all time high. According to government statistics, the highest home ownership rate for blacks for the period from 1Q 2014 through 2Q 2018 was in 2Q 2014 under Obama. The highest home ownership for all other races was in 1Q 2014 under Obama. And the highest home ownership for the nation as a whole was in 1Q 2014 under Obama. https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf

According to Forbes Magazine, the gap in wealth between whites and minorities is increasing, not decreasing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianthompson1/2018/02/18/the-racial-wealth-gap-addressing-americas-most-pressing-epidemic/#25b3102c7a48

Whites have always made up the highest percentage of people on food stamps, and 4 million minorities have not been removed from food stamps because they have jobs.

Unemployment across the board is low right now. Trump has continued the trend that started under Obama, but I will give him credit for continuing the trend.

You forgot to address the fact that hate crimes against minorities is up significantly since Trump's election.

Overall, minorities in America are worse off than they have been, and things are getting worse with time.

@AnneHoney This is also false. 20 years ago we had a way better economy than even now. And that is mainly because we had a more thorough economic background then. We lost 60,000 manufacturing jobs since the recession in 2008. AND we are still seeing jobs shut down even today. Plus America became a socialist playground. And the workforce is much smaller now, and so is your brain.
Thanks anyway. 🙂
