Thxs Pres. Obama, our unemployment rate was still 2-3 times of whites.
Black workers in the U.S. earn on average, 30%, or $10,000, less than white workers
The annual median wage of all U.S. workers is about $42,000, 43% of Black workers earn less than $30,000 per year, highlighting how they are overrepresented in low-paying jobs.
Oh you mean were white companies come in the HOOD and open businesses for tax breaks. None of these businesses were owned by black folks in the neighborhoods.
How many of those jobs were filled by black folks?
None of which you can show how it effected black folks, so it's just babble at best.
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the
Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which narrowed the gap in racially discriminatory crack vs. cocaine sentences by 82 percent. The Sentencing Commission’s report specifically examines the effects of the First Step Act that retroactively applied Obama’s 2010 law to nonviolent drug offenders who were convicted before the Fair Sentencing Act took was enacted into law.
Of the 1,051 people who applied for sentencing reductions because of this injustice:
- 91.3 percent were black, 3.8 percent were Hispanic and 4.3 percent were white, despite the fact that blacks and whites use and sell drugs at about the same rate.
- While many people blame the Clinton crime bill for mass incarceration and the crack vs. cocaine guidelines, most of the people who were released were convicted by George W. Bush’s Department of Justice.
- 62 percent of the people released because they received unequal sentences were convicted by a DOJ controlled by a Republican President. 38 percent were convicted by a Democrat-run Justice Department.
- People convicted by courts in places with high black populations (Washington DC, Alabama, Georgia, Maryland and South Carolina) received above-average sentenced reductions, which meant that they were disproportionately sentenced to longer prison terms. (No data was available for Mississippi.)
- Apparently, there wasn’t a single person in the 5 whitest states (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Vermont and Utah) who was over-sentenced.
He cut funding to HBCUs when he took office and the above was nothing but a photo op that HBCU presidents fell for when he first took office. They didn't fall for that trick again.
You should stop getting your talking points from FIX News, sorry not buying that weak shit.
