When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.“ - Benjamin Franklin.
“When people get used to preferential treatment equal treatment seems like discrimination.” - Thomas Sowell
Black unemployment dropped over nine points under Obama and just a point and a half under Trump (before shooting up by ten). The lionization of Trump for keeping the recovery he inherited going while vilifying Obama for turning around an economy in free fall is just ludicrous.

No revisionism required. The data are clear. African American unemployment dropped by 9.4 points from its peak following the end of the recession to January 2017 and 1.4 points from January 2017 to February 2020. And you seem to think that Obama did a lousy job compared with Trump with respect to African American unemployment. That's what's laughable.
Obama got them McDonalds jobs or Starbucks if they really got lucky.
Trump got them making more money and building things like men instead of serving coffee like Clinton.
The only thing that stopped the Trump economy was the lack of workers. But that is also what drove wages up.
Biden fails because he takes the available workers out but paying them to stay home. The reaction is to automate or start importing.
Obama's workers are being replaced by touch screens and his Starbuck's workers are being replaced by an app.
This may have happened over time anyways but they would be given the chance to create a good work ethic and record to launch into a actual career.
You said you are a lawyer. Your in a service industry. You don't produce anything.
You don't care about the portion of this society that has to compete against imports.
The left and neocons sold us out. The day that Trump got elected the orders started pouring into my customers and in turn they started loading us until we had no more capacity. It is not just the rust belt anymore. Manufacturing is spread all over this country and Joe Biden thinks like you. He doesn't give a crap about people that make things for a living. He says they can all go write code. Why would any of them vote for the people that you support? We would rather pound the ignorant $#@!s into the ground.
We pay the black guy or the woman the same as the white men.
Let's go Brandon !!!
