What are the “black” jobs in America?

At the debate last night Trump said 3 or 4 times that migrants are coming into the country and taking the black jobs. It confused me because I didn’t think there were any jobs in America that were specifically for black people (not since Abraham Lincoln days anyway). Cheers and happy weekend!
It sounds as though he was trying to indicate "low-paying" jobs, which is a great gut-punch to blacks, who were warming to him...

Anyone who thinks in racial terms like that...

Well, I guess it represents the mindset of those who support him: turn back the clock to when blacks were "kept down" by the second wave of racism, Jim Crow in the South, red-lining everywhere...

I thought it was an odd question to even ask.

Here's the definition according to Google:

1. work for which a person is paid in cash, with the transaction not recorded or reported, so as to avoid paying income tax on the amount earned.

@Sapio Wow. Google went racist on that one.

@LordShadowfire I've seen a few posts today with the term mentioned. So I had to look it up online. Because I didn't see the debate last night.

@Sapio Yeah, because Biden didn't have the bаӏӏs to ask him. That would have been an OG move on his part.

@eli1601 Yes, we know you have Trump devotion syndrome. You don't have to keep advertising it.

What do you want when they had a whole segment of the debate aimed to specifically cater to blacks? There is no way for these two retirement home patients to not see that segment of the debate and crudely misstep and misspeak the whole way through.

Well, I've had black teachers, professors, doctors, nurses, etc. -- but somehow I don't think Trump was thinking of them.

The janitorial staff at Mar-a-lago -- though most likely that's "brown jobs". Maybe at Trump Towers?
