Moreover, as the long expansion continued, the gains began to be shared more widely across society. The Black and Hispanic unemployment rates reached record lows, and the differentials between these rates and the white unemployment rate narrowed to their lowest levels on record.14 As we heard repeatedly in our Fed Listens events, the robust job market was delivering life-changing gains for many individuals, families, and communities, particularly at the lower end of the income spectrum.15 In addition, many who had been left behind for too long were finding jobs, benefiting their families and communities, and increasing the productive capacity of our economy. Before the pandemic, there was every reason to expect that these gains would continue. It is hard to overstate the benefits of sustaining a strong labor market, a key national goal that will require a range of policies in addition to supportive monetary policy.

And also, what's make you guys believe Trump isn't racist?  I mean, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I can ask you the same thing.  What makes you think he is?  I doubt you or I have known him personally.  But if he is racist why did he date a black woman?  As Herschel Walker has said he knows Donald for 27 years.  If you havent heard his speech you should.

You know through our private discussion I have respect for you @DBut82  Unlike many others, you have always been reasonable.  I try my best to be with you as well.

Can you do one of these for Joe Biden so we can see how he has fared over the years?

@DBut82

Clarence Henderson has fought racism his entire lifetime.  Watch his speech and yes he backs Trump.

Well Joe has had many instances in his decades of racial comments.  The same comments if Trump made he would have been ostracized.  Two different standards.  Clarence Henderson speech was heartfelt to me.  It was moving listening the stuff he went through.  The one huge difference is Biden was the guy that pushed the crime bill that punished minorities....the same bill Trump reformed.  Historic funding for black colleges.  "Opportunity Zones" zones for inner city development.  Actions over slogans. 

The same racist narrative keeps getting pushed because Democrats want economic slavery for all Americans.  Socialism.  Why do you think they want to keep economy shut down.  Who does it benefit?  Big business.  Look at AAPL, AMZN, FB, GOOGL stocks.  Records highs.  The more we shrink the middle class the easier it will be for those companies to become bigger.  Once the middle class is dissolved.  Socialism becomes possible.

So yea some people will vote Biden but basically they will be cutting off their nose to spite their face.  Propaganda works in China and Democrats have brought it here.

President Trump’s “Opportunity Zones” initiative is spurring even more economic growth in underdeveloped communities around the country. Through targeted tax incentives, the initiative is projected to generate approximately $100 billion of new private investment in communities that need it most.

That focus on expanding economic opportunity for minorities has been a major priority for the Trump administration. That’s why the president was so committed to reforming the criminal justice system. By eliminating the sentencing disparities caused by the horrendous Clinton-era crime bill, which disproportionately affected African Americans, President Trump is giving thousands of unfairly sentenced black inmates a second chance at the American Dream.

The FIRST STEP Act also included significant reforms to address recidivism, such as helping prisons improve their rehabilitation programs and allowing non-violent inmates to earn early-release credits for good behavior more easily. Thanks to this legislation, non-violent inmates will now be equipped with the professional and social skills they need to become productive members of society following their release.

President Trump also understands that the foundation of economic success is a quality education. That’s why he signed a $360 million grant to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities last year — by far the most that any president has ever appropriated for HBCUs. Even America’s first black president, Barack Obama, never allocated that much money to HBCUs.

These facts are undeniable, and I’m truly excited to help spread the word as part of the Black Voices for Trump coalition. President Trump has empowered African Americans throughout his presidency by implementing long-overdue economic and social reforms that have generated upward mobility in our communities. Black Voices for Trump will provide those who have directly benefited from these reforms with a massive platform to share our stories of “Promises Made, Promises Kept.”

Over 80% of African Americans think Trump is racists but here’s Herschel Walker, apparently he matters more than a vast majority of the community.. here’s a guy who fought racism his entire life, his voice apparently matters more than John Lewis. A man who bleed for racial justice. Oh and apparently Trump dated a black woman. That’s the sign he’s not a racist?? Wait didn’t pretty much every slave owner have sex with their slaves?? I guess all those slave owners weren’t racists?? Lol keep up the not so good work you guys. You guys aren’t fooling African Americans into thinking Trump is someone who gives a damn about us. The polls continue to show this. But you guys keep beating that drum that he’s not the racist, Biden is. While Biden continues to campaign with an African American woman. Who went to a HBCU. Who is in an African American sorority. Biden who was the first African American president’s VP. The man who gave just dues to the late great John Lewis. The man who showed respect to Elijah Cummings. Things Trump hasn’t done. And I will see you’re Hershel Walker and raise you LeBron James, Steph Curry, and the list goes on of black athletes who have come out against Trump. But again keep up the subpar work. You’re screaming your stupidity into the echo chamber of conservatives on here. ?

 

[DMAC]

Look @hornsups you have the right to your opinion.  Calling me stupid for my beliefs is fine.  Unlike you words dont bother me.  You wont change my mind and I cant make you see reason because you are not a reasonable person.

BTW I didnt realize LeBron and Curry had a 27 year friendship with Trump.  So again its more speculation than facts.  I get it you hate Trump no matter the cost.  Go for it.  Its your right and I will fight for that right.  I am trying to be reasonable.  I know you think Trump is a racist and all his supporters are too.  Its a 2 way street because I dont by into the notion racism is a white only thing.  You should know.

 

[DMAC]

Here is another post for you to lol at @hornsups

 

[DMAC]

While Biden continues to campaign with an African American woman. Who went to a HBCU. Who is in an African American sorority.

Her family owned slaves.  Her father was a Black Jamaican who migrated here in 1964.  But you like her because shes black regardless of family history.  If trumps family owned slaves you would be screaming.

 

[DMAC]

what no response?  Only another haha.  Disappointing but typical of you

In an article published by the Jamaica Globe (here), professor Donald Harris wrote: “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town),” a town in Jamaica.

Dating a black woman doesn't mean the guy isn't racist. Thomas Jefferson owned slaved and actually had kids by his slave mistresses.  I don't think anyone would argue that TJ was racist.  From the angle that I do not personally know Trump I'll say this: if he is not in fact racist, then he undoubtedly loves pandering to that collective.  Which you can argue is just as bad...

Of course nothing but respect for DMAC!  Absolutely!

 

[hornsups]

Ok guys.. if you’re white. I need you to go back and check to make sure no one in your family ever owned slaves. You should go and check to make sure none of you’re ancestors has ever discriminated against minorities. Make sure they didn’t fight for the confederacy. Make sure they didn’t take land that was once owned by Native Americans without. Make sure you grandparents and great grandparents weren’t supporting segregation. Because if people in your family has done anything of this or believed in segregation.. you guys can to be trusted to speak about race issues. I mean that’s what I was informed with Kamal Harris and being a descendant of someone who owned slaves. But keep trying to tell black people we shouldn’t be happy we have a African American woman as the VP candidate. Trump put his black guy, a doctor, in charge if HUD. He keeps saying Cory Booker would be put in charge of housing and allow minorities to come to suburbs.. why Booker though? He has nothing to do with housing. His committee assignments include foreign affairs, commerce, judiciary, etc. Not housing. But Trump came up with the black man as the person Biden would put in charge of HUD???  Tells you what he thinks.

I can see your point with the whole raping of slaves. True both sides pander.  Its politics.

 

[hornsups]

Quick someone post all the pics of Trump with Ghaislaine Maxwell. And him saying he wishes her well. Cover your eyes. It looks like Trump is good with sex trafficking.

A Silicon Valley billionaire who worked to “repair” the image of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein after he was jailed for child sex crimes has now decided to help Joe Biden. Reid Hoffman

Reid Hoffman, who has also admitted he has financial ties with Epstein, is now dropping serious cash into the super PAC supporting Joe Biden’s candidacy.

We can play this game all day.  Unfortunately I have work to do.  Cheers

I honestly think Barack Obama is one of the most racist people around, but when he was president I didn’t wish him harm. I don’t riot or loot or tear crap up. The only thing you can do is wait until the election and run a better candidate. Republicans did and he got elected. People were tired of the politics and Swamp from both republicans and democrats. That’s how a guy like Trump can get elected. He said as much himself. Democrats need to find some candidates that aren’t way left of the majority of Americans. Most Americans feel that Joe Biden obviously has dementia or something that is setting in. Now Pelosi comes out today and advises him not to debate Trump. They know he will get exposed. He hasn’t taken a question yet that they didn’t already have an answer scripted. They are trying to win an election hiding in a basement.
