How Trump — not Biden — has helped make black lives better

The black vote will be the swing vote this year. And right now, it’s looking like it’s Joe Biden’s for the taking. This is despite Biden’s history, which is riddled with policies that have historically and devastatingly disenfranchised African Americans. For example, the 1994 crime law, which Biden helped author when he was a senator, incentivized local police departments to lock up as many black people as possible, creating mass incarceration of African Americans, along with more prison cells and more aggressive policing. In addition, Biden was responsible for a provision in the 1986 crack law which came to be viewed as one of the most racially slanted sentencing policies on record: a rule that treated crack cocaine as significantly worse than powder cocaine and ended up disproportionately punishing African Americans and sending them to prison but sparing white Americans who typically used cocaine.

We also must not forget the racially charged language Biden has used numerous times, including the notion that if you don’t vote for him, “you ain’t black.” But politicians on both sides of the aisle have used offensive language, and what counts more, in my view, are deeds not words.

I personally do not agree with everything President Trump says or does, and I often find myself on national TV as a conservative pundit saying exactly that. But I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that Trump has been one of the most impactful presidents for African Americans from a policy perspective — and that’s what matters.

His recent police-reform executive order, the First Step Act, released thousands of people from jail (90 percent of whom were black). He has promoted “opportunity zones” that incentivized private investment into marginalized communities, and also increased federal funding to historically black colleges and universities by 17 percent — a total exceeding $100 million, more than any president in history. Meanwhile, the Obama administration infamously removed a two-year Bush-administration program that annually funded $85 million directly to these prized institutions.

As I mention in my book, “Taken For Granted,” during the 2016 election Trump did something few Republicans had the courage to do — he targeted the black vote and spoke directly to African-American issues.

He was not afraid of saying the “wrong thing” (and, yes, he sometimes did) while achieving the ultimate goal of creating real dialogue and opportunity in communities largely ignored by both parties. In return, he received only 8 percent of the black vote generally, and 12 percent of black men. (By comparison, Romney earned 6 percent of the black vote.) But after three years in office, having delivered on so many issues for black voters, Trump’s support among black men had risen to 24 percent, according to one February poll.

Crazy Joe has made American lives a lot worse. Siphoning American money to his crack addicted son. He can't manage his family, yet pretends to want to manage the nation in a burst of dementia.

Not only is Black unemployment at record levels, but blacks suffer disproportionately from COVID

Thanks President Trump

Black Unemployment Rate Rises While White Joblessness Falls

Black unemployment climbed to the highest in more than a decade in May as the coronavirus pandemic continued to weigh on the U.S. labor market.

As you well know, neither of those things have anything to do with President Trump's policies. They are side effects of the pandemic China unleashed on the world.

Rightwinger is never going to criticize his Communist Chinese masters.

Guess you forgot about all the secret service agents who got put in the hospital due to the "peaceful protestors"
You know, Trump really doesn't micro manage every aspect of what Secret service and DC park police do when they are all deployed, even if its scheduled for him to appear at a photo OP someone else is handling those details. Secondly if your out on the street in that situation with violent protests and looting going around, tear gas is the risk you run into. People ought to know that much.
And sadly for you, yes, Donald Trump has done a lot for African Americans through the prison reform bill, Opportunity zones and funding for colleges and that was only the beginning... without any help from Democrats. Democrats by the way who are much more responsible for the Death of George Floyd after years of apathy, yet somehow.... Democrats need to march on the White House as if it was Trumps fault. The State of Minnesota owned that death. Trump has only been around for 3 years and has a hell of a better vision to improve lives than Biden who has been around for 40. What has he done other than help incarcerate more African Americans with longer prison sentences?
Your going to believe Biden now? Really? he is nothing more than a professional politician and the worst kind.

He has promoted “opportunity zones” that incentivized private investment into marginalized communities, and also increased federal funding to historically black colleges and universities by 17 percent — a total exceeding $100 million, more than any president in history. Meanwhile, the Obama administration infamously removed a two-year Bush-administration program that annually funded $85 million directly to these prized institutions.

As I mention in my book, “Taken For Granted,” during the 2016 election Trump did something few Republicans had the courage to do — he targeted the black vote and spoke directly to African-American issues.

He was not afraid of saying the “wrong thing” (and, yes, he sometimes did) while achieving the ultimate goal of creating real dialogue and opportunity in communities largely ignored by both parties. In return, he received only 8 percent of the black vote generally, and 12 percent of black men. (By comparison, Romney earned 6 percent of the black vote.) But after three years in office, having delivered on so many issues for black voters, Trump’s support among black men had risen to 24 percent, according to one February poll.

I didn’t know tear gas and flash bangs made lives better.

Guess you forgot about all the secret service agents who got put in the hospital due to the "peaceful protestors"
You know, Trump really doesn't micro manage every aspect of what Secret service and DC park police do when they are all deployed, even if its scheduled for him to appear at a photo OP someone else is handling those details. Secondly if your out on the street in that situation with violent protests and looting going around, tear gas is the risk you run into. People ought to know that much.
And sadly for you, yes, Donald Trump has done a lot for African Americans through the prison reform bill, Opportunity zones and funding for colleges and that was only the beginning... without any help from Democrats. Democrats by the way who are much more responsible for the Death of George Floyd after years of apathy, yet somehow.... Democrats need to march on the White House as if it was Trumps fault. The State of Minnesota owned that death. Trump has only been around for 3 years and has a hell of a better vision to improve lives than Biden who has been around for 40. What has he done other than help incarcerate more African Americans with longer prison sentences?
Your going to believe Biden now? Really? he is nothing more than a professional politician and the worst kind.

Wow...at least you admit the White House forcibly removed protesters. Many conserve-hate-ives can't bring themselves to admit the truth. The blob is a failure.

The White House didn’t do that. DC Park Police did, idiot.

The black vote will be the swing vote this year. And right now, it’s looking like it’s Joe Biden’s for the taking. This is despite Biden’s history, which is riddled with policies that have historically and devastatingly disenfranchised African Americans. For example, the 1994 crime law, which Biden helped author when he was a senator, incentivized local police departments to lock up as many black people as possible, creating mass incarceration of African Americans, along with more prison cells and more aggressive policing. In addition, Biden was responsible for a provision in the 1986 crack law which came to be viewed as one of the most racially slanted sentencing policies on record: a rule that treated crack cocaine as significantly worse than powder cocaine and ended up disproportionately punishing African Americans and sending them to prison but sparing white Americans who typically used cocaine.

We also must not forget the racially charged language Biden has used numerous times, including the notion that if you don’t vote for him, “you ain’t black.” But politicians on both sides of the aisle have used offensive language, and what counts more, in my view, are deeds not words.

I personally do not agree with everything President Trump says or does, and I often find myself on national TV as a conservative pundit saying exactly that. But I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that Trump has been one of the most impactful presidents for African Americans from a policy perspective — and that’s what matters.

I have no idea WTF you are babbling about. This is a thread comparing the policies, laws, and legislation of Trump vs Crazy Joe and their impact in the black community.

Perhaps you are in the wrong thread.

Yes. The whole previous day.

Trump posed for photos in front of the church, which was set fire Sunday evening as violent protests raged in Washington, D.C., around the White House.
