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.

How are those jobs working out for black people right now? Or any people, for that matter?
@windinhishair what are you getting at? My work has us there six days a week because we have more positions available than people looking for work.

@SooperSarah What I am getting at is the US unemployment rate is currently 6.5%, but it is 9.9% for African-Americans. Put another way, one in ten African-Americans is unemployed. Your personal situation is irrelevant to anyone but you.
@windinhishair I figured I was included when you mentioned "or any people." I guess that's not the case if I don't fit your narrative.

@SooperSarah If you were representative of the population as a whole, the unemployment rate would be 0.0%. It is not.
@windinhishair I never said I was. Since you only want to use data that fits your little narrative, you should only consider mentioning unemployed people. Then you can claim unemployment is 100%

@SooperSarah I claimed, correctly, what the overall unemployment rate was overall and for African-Americans. No need to resort to parlor tricks like you suggest.
@windinhishair you asked how jobs are working out [b]for any people.[/b] I put that in bold since you must've forgotten you said it. I said how mine was going and you immediately disqualified me because you can't use my situation to make your point. Thenn you accuse me of using parlor tricks when you're backtracking on what you said and adding qualifiers after the fact.

@SooperSarah [b]For black people right now. Or any people[/b]....clearly meaning a group of people, as also clearly indicated in the original post. Your reading comprehension leaves very much to be desired. The original post would not mean very much if it meant that a single black person somewhere in the US benefited somehow from unnamed Republican policies, would it? Your personal situation, as I described, is irrelevant in the context of nationwide groups of people.
@windinhishair You went out of your way to add the "or any people" to your statement, but anyone that's employed or white isn't included. And then you question my comprehension skills?! I get it though. It's what you do, resort to personal attacks when you've backed yourself into a corner. It's sad, but it's going to happen when you insist on being so closed minded.

@SooperSarah How is anyone excluded from the national unemployment rate, employed or unemployed, white or any ethnicity? Had I said "person" instead of "people" you would be correct. But I didn't. And you are not. You're the one who is wrong and backed into a corner. I just presented a statement and backed it up with facts.

Read the original post above I was referring to, and tell me if the OP means a specific individual when he talks about black [b]people[/b]
