Blacks earned an average of $303 per week compared to $293 a week in the first quarter of 2024. Throw in the effect of out of control inflation and it's no wonder so many are going to Trump. Black support for trump is now around 17% and Latino support is around 50%.
"Fact check: Biden, not Trump, has the record lows for Black unemployment and poverty"
"Former President Donald Trump is making a concerted effort to win over Black voters – in part by making inaccurate claims.
During a Saturday roundtable discussion at a predominately Black church in Detroit, Trump said President Joe Biden “has done nothing for you except talk,” adding: “We achieved the lowest African American unemployment rate and the lowest African American poverty rate ever recorded – ever, ever recorded – during my four years.”
Facts First: Trump’s claims about having achieved the lowest Black unemployment rate and poverty rate ever recorded were true when he made them before Biden took office, but they are not true today. Both of the record lows set during Trump’s presidency were surpassed by new record lows during Biden’s presidency."
I am still unable to use links, but you don't seem to be offering any citations anyway.
You would be better served to talk to almost anyone else on the forum. This one does a drive-by now and then when he hears his dog-whistle. Not worth the effort of reading or responding.
One positive - he is consistent (and predictable).
