Mcc is right tho. If he takes credit for it going low. He should be blamed for it rising

Hey village idiot, if someone truly wants to work and work hard. There is jobs out there for them.

You're missing the point dipshlt. You can't have your cake and eat it too

Everyone wanna be a rapper; athlete; trap; on the blocc, whatever.

Oh well.

I'm blaming it on Trump. He took credit for it being the lowest in decades so he should get the blame for it's sharp increase, right?

Or is Trump like a God? Gets all the credit for the good things in your life and none of the blame for the bad things.

Unemployment is unemployment. If you're unemployed and you want to change that...it's up to you regardless of you race. If the black community as a community want to change that then it up to them to create more jobs within the communities. You can't expect a President to implement work programs for a particular race of people. Obama never did that. Everyone has the same access to whatever programs are out there. Many black people (and I know that you are one of them) have done very well for themselves because they took the initiative to make it happen. I can tell you that no one ever in my life ever gave my white skinned blue eyed ass anything...just as they didn't for you.

The economy and business opportunities in the US has improved quite a bit since Trump took office and will likely continue to do so...this is just the start. But opportunities still require that someone seizes those opportunities for themselves. You know this.

I really don't understand how someone who is unemployed can somehow rationalize it and blame it on anything but themselves, too many people in this country take no responsibility for themselves. It's always because of someone else

How's white unemployment doing?

So you agree Trump shouldn't have taken sole credit for black unemployment falling if he's not going to take sole blame for black unemployment rising?

I'm sitting here scratching my head and wondering where you got that question from and how it relates to my post you are quoting

I honestly don't see how if unemployment is at a 17 year low Trump gets blamed for blacks not falling in line with that trend. Did he legislate a no hire for blacks law or something?

Maybe you tell me because I don't know...what did Trump do that caused an increase in black unemployment? And what should he have done specifically for that cause and what did Obama do?

Clinton took credit for economic polices that Regan & Bush put in place...

Trump has givin hope to the markets, Obama can't take all the credit for that. So many of our top leaders past and present belong in prison..

But, who cares if everyone gets a taste of the pie..
Jhonny wanted to be a rapper, athelete, comedian, actor, instead he slings chihuahua c0ck.

My dad worked in the fields of California, then as a shade tree mechanic, then at a junk yard dismantling cars, and his last job was at cypress a computer hardware manufacturer. ( he got two patents with a 4th grade education..

My homie MAc B in Compton, straight outta the penitentiary he worked as a tow truck driver, busted his azz. Saved his money, and bought the company. He has contracts with the CHP, LA PD, and all the retail stores in his area.. He has 3 two yards, 47 employees, owns apt. Buildings.. And he's a straight up G... **** them lil sissy bish azz rappers out there spitting fantasy game, with "beats".

My point, MAc B earned everything he has.. He had a plan, and realized it. Homie can incline 405 for 10's. They drive hard, man up man down.. No resting between sets.. He's the same way in life.. Handles his business.

Ok this is my point. Black unemployment was trending down with the nation's unemployment. Matter of fact under Obama black unemployment was cut in half. So as black unemployment continued to trend down with the rest of the nation and it hit a record low under Trump (even though Trump put no policies in place to target black unemployment) that means the rate would've continued to go down no matter who was in office, right?

Mind you. One of my complaints about Obama was he had policies targeting every special interest group but never had policies aimed at us. So even though black unemployment fell by half under him it fell by half because it was following the trend of the overall economy because Obama didn't put any policies in place to target black unemployment

So it's sill and stupid for Trump to take credit for something that was the trend anyway but not take the blame when the trend goes the other way.

It's just stupid in general to take sole credit EVERY MONTH for numbers that are as fluid as unemployment and the stock market. Numbers like that are up and down every month.
