There is no trump economy. What's dumb is how whites keep repeating that claim about black unemployment when we know black unemployment was falling for 7 years before trump took office and has continues with no help from trump. I think Clyburn could have done a far better job, but I'm sure you idiots will run your mouths about this when the truth is:
You never post the U-6 unemployment rate, but one reason why black unemployment rate is dropping until President Trump got "his" economy rolling is black on black murders...Lower the population , lower the unemployment...
Wrong. We've had over a decade of economic expansion, trump didn't create this expansion for 7 years while sitting in trump tower.
That expansion never worked for the blacks you dumbass. Until President Trump lowered it.
NAACP president: Black people worse off under Obama
The worst during Mr Obama’s first term was in September 2011, with 16.7 percent unemployment for blacks — the highest since 1983, the Department of Labor reports. The black teen jobless rate hit a staggering 39.3 percent in July 2012.
Then those black kids started killing each other , thus lowering the U-3.
Murder far worse for blacks under Obama
Black victims accounted for nearly two-thirds of the year-over-year increase, which translates to 944 additional black people murdered out of just under 1,500 additional victims nationwide. More than half of this increase (about 811 additional murders) came just from among blacks aged 17 to 39.
And no, it want P O L I C E, murdering the blacks, but their own....
Yawn. You cite 2012 numbers trying to argue a lie but:
Meanwhile whites were killing each other in the same percentages and trump has not done anything for blacks.
BALTIMORE (January 31, 2018
) – On the night of President Trump’s first State of the Union Address, NAACP, the nation’s foremost civil rights organization, hosted its own rebuttal,
“The Real State of Our Union,” hosted by acclaimed journalist, Roland Martin.
In direct response to President Trump’s racism, detachment and disinterest towards African-Americans and immigrants, many in the advocacy community gathered at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. to have a candid and forthright conversation about the true politics of Trump’s first year in office.
While President Trump rallied for a wall on the border and credited his presidency for the drop in the Black unemployment rate, panelists at “The Real State of Our Union” called attention to key Trump policies that plague the Black community: voter suppression, an unequal criminal justice system, and the ostracizing of immigrants. The powerhouse panel urged participants to wield their power in the polls this November, using the midterm elections as a means to steer the country back on the course towards freedom and equality for all.

NAACP’S RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS: THE STATE OF OUR UNION IS NOT STRONG
February 5, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BALTIMORE (February 5, 2019) – The NAACP issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s State of the Union Address:
President Trump’s address tonight was political theater at its best. In an attempt to reset the nation and Congress after two years of bitter partisanship and deeply personal attacks, that Trump himself initiated, it is evident that his address was nothing but a hollow call for unity.
Once again the President used the State of the Union as an opportunity to spew the same racist rhetoric, that does nothing but bolster his detachment and disinterest towards the real issues that plague our nation. While President Trump rallied for a wall on the border and credited his presidency for lowering unemployment numbers, which he touted after the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history, he conveniently overlooked the voter suppression, over policing, gun violence, and detrimental and xenophobic immigration policies that his administration has instituted that disproportionately affect communities of color.
As racism continues to permeate through every level of our society, it’s clear from his failure to protect the right to vote and civil rights for ALL, that this President’s agenda represents nothing but pain and suffering for communities of color, the poor, the LGBT community, women and immigrants. Because of this, the state of our union is not strong.
