1. Trump is not doing anything to change the trend of black unemployment, it has BEEN declining for a while before he came into office but it is STILL maintaining the same disparity of being twice that of Whites.

Why does he have to? Does he have to monitor the unemployment rate of Asian, Legal Latino's, whites, American Indians, ect, ect.? Why should he spend extra time working on getting blacks to get off their a*s and work.
Isn't that the parents job?
We are at the best unemployment rate in 20 years. Employers are crying for workers.
If you would read the context of what is being written, you could see I never said or implied that Trump 'has to' do something about unemployment. I responded to the implied context that he should get some credit for some perceived improvement in the black unemployment rate.
The economy and the culture play as much if not more of a part in unemployment rate and discrepancies than any President or politician can do alone.
The unemployment rate, at any given time, can be compared to another time in terms of rate. When Obama was president, for instance, in 2016, the claim could also have been made accurately that the rate was 'as low as its been in years'
Unemployment was not so much the point, as disputing the notion that blacks should not disapprove of Trump merely because of the unemployment rate having been lower than 'in years'.
