Why is it that the Republican party has done FAR more for black people than the Democratic party in recent America history?

Trump got black people jobs. Under Obama all he did was enable a victim mentality. Poor black people need jobs and opportunity.

What policy did Trump pass to get black people jobs?

He kept bringing up the number of employed black people as if he caused it, but the reality is that the number of black people working had been rising all throughout the Obama administration. It's just a trend that happened to continue during the Trump administration.

Trump's just congratulating himself for doing nothing and taking credit for other's accomplishments, per usual

@TinyViolins He lowered taxes and cut regulation which in turn caused companies to hire more employees overall.

@ghostofapu Black and Hispanic unemployment were already at record lows BEFORE the tax cuts went into effect. They did nothing to change employment figures and only worked to create a trillion dollar shortfall in revenue and a wealth increase for the top 1%

@ghostofapu How did that [i]specifically[/i] affect Black people? It may have helped them, but only along with everyone else. Their economic gains were still less than whites during the same period, and Trump actively went [i]against[/i] their other concerns, like police brutality.

Trump is still a racist piece of shit.
