Black immigrants pledge support for Donald Trump

[NightMare Paint]

Why wouldn’t a so-called black person vote for trump if he delivers policy to increase the economic, political, and/or social standing of the so-called black community?

So what's the point of all the vitriol toward Black immigrants specifically when the nigga who y'all are following is ready to jump on board on the PROMISE of reparations check? Fuckers always talking about "tangibles" but can be bought with hope. Any Black person supporting Trump is a goddamn fool, immigrant OR ADOS. That shit ain't deep or conscious. It's fucking stupid.

 

[NightMare Paint]

Aye, @NightMare Paint you gon address any of these several coons I posted?

I did. I posted the one you missed.

 

[xfactor]

Obama ran a campaign on “hope and change” and didn’t change a damn thing for the so-called black community other than manifest the latent hate in the racists to make it worse for us.

Stupid is voting for ANY politician that does not provide benefits and specific policy for the people that vote for him or her, which means if you vote for any democrat on the federal level and you aren’t LGBT, a rich white, or an immigrant, to use your words, are “fucking stupid”.

[NightMare Paint]

Nope. Coon code - they only call constructive so-called blacks coons and turn a blind eye to agents and sellouts but demand you support those agents and sellouts.

Here little nigga put this on since you want to be a cheerleader so bad. Who the fuck was even talking to you?

 

[West Endian]

Politics is all smoke and mirrors. Remember this one thing, Trump is a SALESMAN first.

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

Nah, Sigma Pi Phi didn’t have as much power or influence as Obama, although Eric Holder is a member. It is the 1st and most elite so-called black fraternity.

Boule members are called archons. The symbolism is important with their logo as it shows they are protectors of the secrets of the elite and take a blood oath to protect it.

Nowhere near the greatest President unless you were LGBT or an upper-class white person. He wasn’t even the first so-called black President and his wife wasn’t the first so-called black First Lady.

But I guess the symbolism was worth it

of course symbolism is worth it.. do you know how many of our youth had a light switch turned on... as a result of his imagery..

cmon bruh you know the power of symbolism they rule the masses by it.. I do agree tho, he sure came off like capt save a fag... but he was talkin to us in damn near blatant code but we aint pick it up..

he pretty much said you guys have to give me support, but we cant compete with faggot cash... and its because of lack of capitalism..

but you want to know what fuckin crazy nobody talks about... the fuckin fact obama and bush are related..

I was ready to dismiss Obama but then they got me good with Michelle..and the way she took charge in the whitehouse..

bruh ok Obama is on the fence but Michelle best first lady ever by a mile...

fuckin boule aint shit... but thats always been the case.. crackers cant hold us down at all..

they need to get our people to turn on us.. and those are the assholes that keep the chaos going..

and us distracted with bullshit.. its a good thing I know what this bullshit is, and how to just be entertained by it.. its all just a big distraction..

Its all about you discovering what on the inside, thats what all this shit is about.. to keep you disconnected from your true self and attached to them so they can suck you like the parasites they are..

but muthafuckas dont hear me tho.. and thats ok with me.... I tried..

Funny how many around here say they like Trump because he speaks his mind and emboldens racists to show their true selves and they like to know who they are dealing with, but because Obama caused the same thing simply because he was a black man who got backlash simply existing and having the nerve to be elected, he gets vilified for it. The same people who say black people should live their lives without a thought to what white people think, are mad because white folks showed up, showed out, and put actions to how they think.

and that person/s so far is?

 

[Camille]

I'm confused about this thread. Why are we condeming people for being Trump supporters and calling them coons when in every other thread they are sheep if they vote for a dem? If you aren't voting for the dem against Trump, then you're helping to reelect him. Or do you think non voting or voting third party keeps your hands clean?

The thing is most of the things people contribute to Obama giving to gays came by way of court ruling and state actions/legislation.

@KingTaharqa I'm addressing you, not your hype-man who thinks it's ok to vote for Trump as long as he's promised something. Black immigrants supporting Trump are trash. They also aren't the majority. Just like they aren't the majority amongst ADOS. #ADOS the movement is full of snakes, infiltrators and cons but instead of addressing it and cleaning house motherfuckers want to perform Negro Purity tests and ego trip on social media. Where is the national political presence? What is the actual plan beyond hoping Trump overcomes his overt racism and rapid mental decline to appropriately compensate a very specific segment of Black people for centuries of ethnic misanthropy?

So yall want "tangibles" aka reparations....

But only from a Democrat?

Trump wouldn't even rent to black folks, routinely throws other CAC's under the bus but you trust him?

Pathetic

Coons like you slobber on the gun barrel when it's in your mouth.

LOL

BGOL political strategist.

 

[NightMare Paint]

Dude, don't. He here for that. IF he responds, it'll won't be about what you're calling him out on. Don't waste your keystrokes, bruh.

I had time today.There's so much tap-dancing around the most simple shit. It's sad because the principle of American Black people rising up economically has been around since before Reconstruction. Our enemies are literally weaponizing our history against us and the "conscious community" is running right along with it.

When have democrats ever given tangibles to so-called black people specifically? Only republicans have. Time for the party stealing votes for 50 years to pay up.

I agree about Michelle Obama but that should be expected. Ironically enough, the last so-called black 1st lady, Jackie Bouvier was also held in high regard.

Obama is vilified for being the first pro-gay President and doing nothing but setting back the so-called black community while prioritizing every other group.

Oh, and he also killed a lot of people ordering drone attacks. Definitely anti terrorism as long as they don’t wear a police uniform

Funny how many around here say they like Trump because he speaks his mind and emboldens racists to show their true selves and they like to know who they are dealing with, but because Obama caused the same thing simply because he was a black man who got backlash simply existing and having the nerve to be elected, he gets vilified for it.

Obama is vilified for being the first pro-gay President and doing nothing but setting back the so-called black community while prioritizing every other group.

From Oct 2016:

President Obama believes we need to restore security and opportunity for working Americans with the fundamental values that made our economy the strongest in the world—making sure everyone does their fair share, everyone gets a fair shake, and hard work and responsibility are rewarded. That’s why President Obama has worked to improve the lives of all Americans, including African Americans, by providing economic and educational opportunities, improving health care coverage, and working to ensure that the criminal justice system is applied fairly to all citizens. Although much work remains to be done, African Americans have made enormous strides in many of these areas during this Administration.

Key Accomplishments

Labor Market, Income and Poverty

• 
  The unemployment rate for African Americans peaked at 16.8 percent in March 2010, after experiencing a larger percentage-point increase from its pre-recession average to its peak than the overall unemployment rate did. Since then, the African-American unemployment rate has seen a larger percentage-point decline in the recovery, falling much faster than the overall unemployment rate over the last year.
  
• 
  The real median income of black households increased by 4.1 percent between 2014 and 2015.
  
• 
  The President enacted permanent expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, which together now provide about 2 million African-American working families with an average tax cut of about $1,000 each.
  
• 
  A recent report from the Census Bureau shows the remarkable progress that American families have made as the recovery continues to strengthen. Real median household income grew 5.2 percent from 2014 to 2015, the fastest annual growth on record. Income grew for households across the income distribution, with the fastest growth among lower- and middle-income households. The number of people in poverty fell by 3.5 million, leading the poverty rate to fall from 14.8 percent to 13.5 percent, the largest one-year drop since 1968, with even larger improvements including for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and children.
  
• 
  The poverty rate for African Americans fell faster in 2015 than in any year since 1999. While the poverty rate fell for across all racial and ethnic groups this year, it fell 2.1 percentage points (p.p.) for African Americans, resulting in 700,000 fewer African Americans in poverty.
  
• 
  African American children also made large gains in 2015, with the poverty rate falling 4.2 percentage points and 400,000 fewer children in poverty.
  

Health

• 
  Since the start of Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period at the end of 2013, the uninsured rate among non-elderly African Americans has declined by more than half. Over that period, about 3 million uninsured nonelderly, African-American adults gained health coverage.
  
• 
  Teen pregnancy among African-American women is at an historic low. The birth rate per 1,000 African-American teen females has fallen from 60.4 in 2008, before President Obama entered office, to 34.9 in 2014.
  
• 
  Life expectancy at birth is the highest it’s ever been for African Americans. In 2014, life expectancy at birth was 72.5 years for African-American males and 78.4 for African-American females, the highest point in the historical series for both genders.
  

Education

• 
  The high school graduation rate for African-American students is at its highest point in history. In the 2013-2014 academic year, 72.5 percent of African-American public high school students graduated within four years.
  
• 
  Since the President took office, over one million more black and Hispanic students enrolled in college.
  
• 
  Among African-Americans and Hispanic students 25 and older, high school completion is higher than ever before. Among African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian students 25 and older, Bachelor’s degree attainment is higher than ever before. As of 2015, 88 percent of the African-American population 25 and older had at least a high school degree and 23percent had at least a Bachelor’s degree.
  

Support for HBCUs

• 
  The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is responsible for funding more than $4 billion for HBCUs each year.
  
• 
  Pell Grant funding for HBCU students increased significantly between 2007 and 2014, growing from $523 million to $824 million.
  
• 
  The President’s FY 2017 budget request proposes a new, $30 million competitive grant program, called the HBCU and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) Innovation for Completion Fund, designed to support innovative and evidence-based, student-centered strategies and interventions to increase the number of low-income students completing degree programs at HBCUs and MSIs.
  
• 
  The First in the World (FITW) program provided unique opportunities for HBCUs to compete for grants focused on innovation to drive student success.
  
• 
  In 2014, Hampton University received a grant award of $3.5 million.
  
• 
  In FY 2015, three FITW awards were made to HBCUs, including Jackson State University ($2.9 million), Delaware State University ($2.6 million) and Spelman College ($2.7 million).
  
• 
  While Congress did not fund the program in fiscal year 2016, the President’s 2017 budget request includes $100 million for the First in the World program, with up to $30 million set aside for HBCUs and MSIs.
  

Criminal Justice

• 
  The incarceration rates for African-American men and women fell during each year of the Obama Administration and are at their lowest points in over two decades. The imprisonment rates for African-American men and women were at their lowest points since the early 1990s and late 1980s, respectively, of 2014, the latest year for which Bureau of Justice Statistics data are available.
  
• 
  The number of juveniles in secure detention has been reduced dramatically over the last decade. The number of juveniles committed or detained, a disproportionate number of whom are African American, fell more than 30% between 2007 and 2013.
  
• 
  The President has ordered the Justice Department to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles held in federal custody. There are presently no more juveniles being held in restrictive housing federally.
  

My Brother’s Keeper

• 
  President Obama launched the My Brother’s Keeper initiative on February 27, 2014 to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential.
  
• 
  Nearly 250 communities in all 50 states, 19 Tribal Nations, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico have accepted the President’s My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge to dedicate resources and execute their own strategic plans to ensure all young people can reach their full potential.
  
• 
  Inspired by the President’s call to action, philanthropic and other private organizations have committed to provide more than $600 million in grants and in-kind resources and $1 billion in low-interest financing to expand opportunity for young people – more than tripling the initial private sector investment since 2014.
  
• 
  In May 2014, the MBK Task Force gave President Obama nearly 80 recommendations to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by young people, including boys and young men of color. Agencies have been working individually and collectively since to respond to recommendations with federal policy initiatives, grant programs, and guidance. Today, more than 80% of MBK Task Force Recommendations are complete or on track.
  

Advancing Equity for Women and Girls of Color

• 
  In 2014, the Council on Women and Girls (CWG) launched a specific work stream called “Advancing Equity for Women and Girls of Color” to ensure that policies and programs across the federal government appropriately take into account the unique obstacles that women and girls of color can face. In fall 2015, CWG released a report that identified five data-driven issue areas where interventions can promote opportunities for success at school, work, and in the community.
  
• 
  This work has also inspired independent commitments to advance equity, including a $100 million, 5-year-funding initiative by Prosperity Together—a coalition of women’s foundations—to improve economic prosperity for low-income women and women and girls of color and a $75 million funding commitment by the Collaborative to Advance Equity through Research—an affiliation of American colleges, universities, research organizations, publishers and public interest institutions led by Wake Forest University—to support existing and new research efforts about women and girls of color.
  
• 
  At the United State of Women Summit in June 2016, eight organizations launched “Young Women’s Initiatives,” place-based, data-driven programs that will focus in on the local needs of young women of color. Those organizations include the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, the Women’s Foundation of California, the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis, the Washington Area Women’s Foundation, the Dallas Women’s Foundation, the Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham, the Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts, and the New York Women’s Foundation.
  

Small Business

• 
  There are 8 million minority-owned firms in the U.S.—a 38% increase since 2007.
  
• 
  In early 2015, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) launched the MBK Millennial Entrepreneurs Initiative, which seeks to address the challenges faced by underserved millennials, including boys and young men of color, through self-employment and entrepreneurship. A major component of this effort included the six-part video series, titled “Biz My Way,” which encourages millennials to follow their passion in business.
  
• 
  In fiscal year 2015, underserved markets received 32,563 loans totaling $13 billion, compared with 25,799 loans and $10.47 billion in fiscal year 2014, an increase of 26 percent in number of loans and 24 percent in dollar amount.
  
• 
  Last year, the SBA issued a new rule that makes most individuals currently on probation or parole eligible for a SBA microloan—a loan of up to $50,000 that helps small businesses start up. And in August 2016, SBA together with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Justine Petersen, launched the Aspire Entrepreneurship Initiative, a $2.1 Million pilot initiative to provide entrepreneurship education and microloans to returning citizens in Detroit, Chicago, Louisville and St. Louis.
  

Civil Rights Division

• 
  The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division continued to enforce federal law. Over the last eight years, the Division has vigorously protected the civil rights of individuals in housing, lending, employment, voting, education, and disability rights and through hate crimes and law enforcement misconduct prosecutions and law enforcement pattern and practice cases.
  

African-American Judicial Appointees

• 
  President Obama has made 62 lifetime appointments of African Americans to serve on the federal bench.
  

• 
  
• 
  This includes 9 African-American circuit court judges.
  
• 
  It also includes the appointment of 53 African American district court judges—including 26 African-American women appointed to the federal court, which is more African-American women appointed by any President in history.
  
• 
  In total, 19% of the President’s confirmed judges have been African American, compared to 16% under President Bill Clinton and 7% under President George W. Bush.
  
• 
  Five states now have their first African-American circuit judge; 10 states now have their first African-American female lifetime-appointed federal judge; and 3 districts now have their first African-American district judge.
  
• 
  Also, the President appointed the first Haitian-American lifetime-appointed federal judge, the first Afro-Caribbean-born district judge, the first African-American female circuit judge in the Sixth Circuit, and the first African-American circuit judge on the First Circuit (who was also the first African-American female lifetime-appointed federal judge to serve anywhere in the First Circuit).
  
• 
  The President is committed to continuing to ensure diversity on the federal bench. This year, the President nominated Myra Selby of Indiana to the Seventh Circuit, Abdul Kallon of Alabama to the Eleventh Circuit, and Rebecca Haywood of Pennsylvania to the Third Circuit. If confirmed, each of these would be a judicial first—Myra Selby would be the first African-American circuit judge from Indiana, Abdul Kallon would be the first African-American circuit judge from Alabama, and Rebecca Haywood would be the first African-American woman on the Third Circuit.In addition, two of the President’s district court nominees—Stephanie Finely and Patricia Timmons-Goodson—would be the first African-American lifetime-appointed federal judges in each of their respective districts, if confirmed.

Do you want reparations or nah? No serious Dem candidate is even touching the topic.

Worth a shot if yall are serious about "tangibles" and all that talk about "what have Dems done".

I got my reparations when my family used government assistance and GI Bill's to buy property and invest in education.

If the Gov't cut a 50k check to every black person who is ADOS would that solve the underlying problem?

I'd rather us get free tuition, health care and debt cancellation.

You give under educated folk cash and it will flow right back into cac pockets but as an agent that's what you want right?

  The First in the World (FITW) program provided unique opportunities for HBCUs to compete for grants focused on innovation to drive student success.
  
• 
  In 2014, Hampton University received a grant award of $3.5 million.
  
• 
  In FY 2015, three FITW awards were made to HBCUs, including Jackson State University ($2.9 million), Delaware State University ($2.6 million) and Spelman College ($2.7 million).
  
• 
  While Congress did not fund the program in fiscal year 2016, the President’s 2017 budget request includes $100 million for the First in the World program, with up to $30 million set aside for HBCUs and MSIs.
  

Criminal Justice

• 
  The incarceration rates for African-American men and women fell during each year of the Obama Administration and are at their lowest points in over two decades. The imprisonment rates for African-American men and women were at their lowest points since the early 1990s and late 1980s, respectively, of 2014, the latest year for which Bureau of Justice Statistics data are available.
  
• 
  The number of juveniles in secure detention has been reduced dramatically over the last decade. The number of juveniles committed or detained, a disproportionate number of whom are African American, fell more than 30% between 2007 and 2013.
  
• 
  The President has ordered the Justice Department to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles held in federal custody. There are presently no more juveniles being held in restrictive housing federally.
  

My Brother’s Keeper

• 
  President Obama launched the My Brother’s Keeper initiative on February 27, 2014 to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential.
  
• 
  Nearly 250 communities in all 50 states, 19 Tribal Nations, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico have accepted the President’s My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge to dedicate resources and execute their own strategic plans to ensure all young people can reach their full potential.
  
• 
  Inspired by the President’s call to action, philanthropic and other private organizations have committed to provide more than $600 million in grants and in-kind resources and $1 billion in low-interest financing to expand opportunity for young people – more than tripling the initial private sector investment since 2014.
  
• 
  In May 2014, the MBK Task Force gave President Obama nearly 80 recommendations to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by young people, including boys and young men of color. Agencies have been working individually and collectively since to respond to recommendations with federal policy initiatives, grant programs, and guidance. Today, more than 80% of MBK Task Force Recommendations are complete or on track.
  

Advancing Equity for Women and Girls of Color

• 
  In 2014, the Council on Women and Girls (CWG) launched a specific work stream called “Advancing Equity for Women and Girls of Color” to ensure that policies and programs across the federal government appropriately take into account the unique obstacles that women and girls of color can face. In fall 2015, CWG released a report that identified five data-driven issue areas where interventions can promote opportunities for success at school, work, and in the community.
  
• 
  This work has also inspired independent commitments to advance equity, including a $100 million, 5-year-funding initiative by Prosperity Together—a coalition of women’s foundations—to improve economic prosperity for low-income women and women and girls of color and a $75 million funding commitment by the Collaborative to Advance Equity through Research—an affiliation of American colleges, universities, research organizations, publishers and public interest institutions led by Wake Forest University—to support existing and new research efforts about women and girls of color.
  
• 
  At the United State of Women Summit in June 2016, eight organizations launched “Young Women’s Initiatives,” place-based, data-driven programs that will focus in on the local needs of young women of color. Those organizations include the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, the Women’s Foundation of California, the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis, the Washington Area Women’s Foundation, the Dallas Women’s Foundation, the Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham, the Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts, and the New York Women’s Foundation.
  

Small Business

• 
  There are 8 million minority-owned firms in the U.S.—a 38% increase since 2007.
  
• 
  In early 2015, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) launched the MBK Millennial Entrepreneurs Initiative, which seeks to address the challenges faced by underserved millennials, including boys and young men of color, through self-employment and entrepreneurship. A major component of this effort included the six-part video series, titled “Biz My Way,” which encourages millennials to follow their passion in business.
  
• 
  In fiscal year 2015, underserved markets received 32,563 loans totaling $13 billion, compared with 25,799 loans and $10.47 billion in fiscal year 2014, an increase of 26 percent in number of loans and 24 percent in dollar amount.
  
• 
  Last year, the SBA issued a new rule that makes most individuals currently on probation or parole eligible for a SBA microloan—a loan of up to $50,000 that helps small businesses start up. And in August 2016, SBA together with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Justine Petersen, launched the Aspire Entrepreneurship Initiative, a $2.1 Million pilot initiative to provide entrepreneurship education and microloans to returning citizens in Detroit, Chicago, Louisville and St. Louis.
  

Civil Rights Division

• 
  The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division continued to enforce federal law. Over the last eight years, the Division has vigorously protected the civil rights of individuals in housing, lending, employment, voting, education, and disability rights and through hate crimes and law enforcement misconduct prosecutions and law enforcement pattern and practice cases.
  

African-American Judicial Appointees

• 
  President Obama has made 62 lifetime appointments of African Americans to serve on the federal bench.
  

• 
  
• 
  This includes 9 African-American circuit court judges.
  
• 
  It also includes the appointment of 53 African American district court judges—including 26 African-American women appointed to the federal court, which is more African-American women appointed by any President in history.
  
• 
  In total, 19% of the President’s confirmed judges have been African American, compared to 16% under President Bill Clinton and 7% under President George W. Bush.
  
• 
  Five states now have their first African-American circuit judge; 10 states now have their first African-American female lifetime-appointed federal judge; and 3 districts now have their first African-American district judge.
  
• 
  Also, the President appointed the first Haitian-American lifetime-appointed federal judge, the first Afro-Caribbean-born district judge, the first African-American female circuit judge in the Sixth Circuit, and the first African-American circuit judge on the First Circuit (who was also the first African-American female lifetime-appointed federal judge to serve anywhere in the First Circuit).
  
• 
  The President is committed to continuing to ensure diversity on the federal bench. This year, the President nominated Myra Selby of Indiana to the Seventh Circuit, Abdul Kallon of Alabama to the Eleventh Circuit, and Rebecca Haywood of Pennsylvania to the Third Circuit. If confirmed, each of these would be a judicial first—Myra Selby would be the first African-American circuit judge from Indiana, Abdul Kallon would be the first African-American circuit judge from Alabama, and Rebecca Haywood would be the first African-American woman on the Third Circuit.In addition, two of the President’s district court nominees—Stephanie Finely and Patricia Timmons-Goodson—would be the first African-American lifetime-appointed federal judges in each of their respective districts, if confirmed.

I'm confused about this thread. Why are we condeming people for being Trump supporters and calling them coons when in every other thread they are sheep if they vote for a dem? If you aren't voting for the dem against Trump, then you're helping to reelect him. Or do you think non voting or voting third party keeps your hands clean?

and how law enforcement ESPECIALLY the FBI are klansmen with guns and badges.. and have an agenda to kill off any of our children that show signs of leader ship.. they been warned to LITERALLY KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A 'BLACK"" messiah..

Lets NOT even talk about the cia and what they really do and how much DEATH they are soley responsible for, for literally using our tax dollars to place crack in our communities
just so war profiteers could profit at our expense ..

trump have both of those orgs not knowing their left from their right.. just gettin in their ass like no other president before..

firing that racist piece of shit comey.... he is a dick... but end game.. he has a purpose..

the enemy of my enemy.. is a friendly fuckin enemy....

Why lie to protect the agent?

How Obama Failed Black Americans

The country’s first black president never pursued policies bold enough to close the racial wealth gap.

New Report Looks at How Obama's Housing Policies Destroyed Black Wealth

A new report looks at how black wealth was demolished under the Obama presidency due to flawed housing policies.

theintercept.com

From Oct 2016:

President Obama believes we need to restore security and opportunity for working Americans with the fundamental values that made our economy the strongest in the world—making sure everyone does their fair share, everyone gets a fair shake, and hard work and responsibility are rewarded. That’s why President Obama has worked to improve the lives of all Americans, including African Americans, by providing economic and educational opportunities, improving health care coverage, and working to ensure that the criminal justice system is applied fairly to all citizens. Although much work remains to be done, African Americans have made enormous strides in many of these areas during this Administration.

Key Accomplishments

Labor Market, Income and Poverty

• 
  The unemployment rate for African Americans peaked at 16.8 percent in March 2010, after experiencing a larger percentage-point increase from its pre-recession average to its peak than the overall unemployment rate did. Since then, the African-American unemployment rate has seen a larger percentage-point decline in the recovery, falling much faster than the overall unemployment rate over the last year.
  
• 
  The real median income of black households increased by 4.1 percent between 2014 and 2015.
  
• 
  The President enacted permanent expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, which together now provide about 2 million African-American working families with an average tax cut of about $1,000 each.
  
• 
  A recent report from the Census Bureau shows the remarkable progress that American families have made as the recovery continues to strengthen. Real median household income grew 5.2 percent from 2014 to 2015, the fastest annual growth on record. Income grew for households across the income distribution, with the fastest growth among lower- and middle-income households. The number of people in poverty fell by 3.5 million, leading the poverty rate to fall from 14.8 percent to 13.5 percent, the largest one-year drop since 1968, with even larger improvements including for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and children.
  
• 
  The poverty rate for African Americans fell faster in 2015 than in any year since 1999. While the poverty rate fell for across all racial and ethnic groups this year, it fell 2.1 percentage points (p.p.) for African Americans, resulting in 700,000 fewer African Americans in poverty.
  
• 
  African American children also made large gains in 2015, with the poverty rate falling 4.2 percentage points and 400,000 fewer children in poverty.
  

Health

• 
  Since the start of Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period at the end of 2013, the uninsured rate among non-elderly African Americans has declined by more than half. Over that period, about 3 million uninsured nonelderly, African-American adults gained health coverage.
  
• 
  Teen pregnancy among African-American women is at an historic low. The birth rate per 1,000 African-American teen females has fallen from 60.4 in 2008, before President Obama entered office, to 34.9 in 2014.
  
• 
  Life expectancy at birth is the highest it’s ever been for African Americans. In 2014, life expectancy at birth was 72.5 years for African-American males and 78.4 for African-American females, the highest point in the historical series for both genders.
  

Education

• 
  The high school graduation rate for African-American students is at its highest point in history. In the 2013-2014 academic year, 72.5 percent of African-American public high school students graduated within four years.
  
• 
  Since the President took office, over one million more black and Hispanic students enrolled in college.
  
• 
  Among African-Americans and Hispanic students 25 and older, high school completion is higher than ever before. Among African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian students 25 and older, Bachelor’s degree attainment is higher than ever before. As of 2015, 88 percent of the African-American population 25 and older had at least a high school degree and 23percent had at least a Bachelor’s degree.
  

Support for HBCUs

• 
  The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is responsible for funding more than $4 billion for HBCUs each year.
  
• 
  Pell Grant funding for HBCU students increased significantly between 2007 and 2014, growing from $523 million to $824 million.
  
•

That didn't answer my question. Why are these people being vilified for being free thinkers and supporting Trump by the same people who keep telling us in every other thread not to support dems and that dems haven't done anything for black people but brainwash us into being timid sheep? If Trump is such an issue, how does one get him out of office without supporting dems? If it doesn't matter for black people who is in charge because neither party helps black folks, why make the thread at all?

That Tone guy already posted a tweet acknowledging that due to the tax cuts given, there isn't money for reparations on the scale that is needed, so how do they roll back the tax cuts if it doesn't involve electing dems? If they aren't going to elect dems to make changes and they've acknowledged the funds aren't there, why continue the conversation?

 

[xfactor]

People in here actually saying Obama helped the so-called black community, in a country all about capitalism, and the projected wealth of the so-called black community will be $0 within 20 years due to Obama administration policies.

How ignorant do you have to be?

 

[hardawayz16]

And you think you're gonna get them from Trump?!

LOL me personally? Of course not. We're not getting them from anyone.

I think its hilarious we're pretending Trump is the only presidential candidate who's full of shit.
