Despite the Left’s dire predictions, it turns out that the policies advocated by President Donald Trump are helping black Americans even more than they are helping white Americans.<\/p>\n
Numbers don’t lie, and the latest employment numbers refute the claims that Trump polices are a burden on the economy and especially harmful to black America.<\/p>\n
In an interview with the One America News network, Project 21<\/a><\/strong> Co-Chairman Horace Cooper<\/a><\/strong> said that the latest jobs report<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 which included the lowest black unemployment rate<\/a><\/strong> ever recorded \u2013 could also start changing the political opinions of many black Americans. \u201cYou\u2019re likely to see that the conservative policies, the free-market policies, the policies of limited government and low taxation are attractive\u201d to black America, Horace told OAN correspondent Stefan Kleinhenz.<\/p>\n The October jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics put black unemployment at 5.4 percent. As Project 21 noted in a press release<\/a><\/strong> following that announcement, this is the sixth time a record for low black unemployment has been reported during the Trump presidency. On OAN, Horace noted the significance of the current trend:<\/p>\n Typically, since the 80s, black unemployment is double the unemployment of white Americans. Under the Trump Administration, that barrier has been broken.<\/p>\n What you\u2019re seeing is \u2013 even as the unemployment rate overall lowers \u2013 the unemployment rate for black Americans is happening even quicker. That means that black Americans are benefitting in the Trump economy faster and greater than the rest of the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Gains such as this, Horace remarked, betray liberal predictions that things would be worse for black Americans under President Trump:<\/p>\n There\u2019s a boost that\u2019s happening in employment numbers for black Americans in the wake of media criticism, activist criticism claiming that this president is somehow hostile to the interests of black Americans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
