If only Trump coud have answered as @CKW and @gorfias has...instead, his response was "Any job". You'd think the man would have invested time and brainpower working on an appropriate response to a question he is sure to be asked again and again.
I think he meant "they are taking our jobs" (his overall talking point) and when faced with a group interested in black people he went along with that and said "black jobs" by which he meant jobs black people have, regardless of the job. He only said black because that is their interest. Not hard to figure out if you are listening in good faith.
You have to admit it was a stupid answer. He made the statement that illegals are taking black jobs and when asked 'what are black jobs', his answer was 'any job'. Had he explained it as others have here, it wouldn't be so bad. But he sounded as though he'd heard someone make the comment about the illegals and thought he'd trot it out at that conference. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of his rallies so he was asked to clarify. Which, of course, he couldn't. I'm sure plenty here will jump to his defense, giving us 'what he meant'. But how long are you going to support a person who cannot answer the basic questions without the help of his online warriors?
Whether or not he aligns to your version of the pretty words---its the policies that matter. And Trump policies are better for all American citizens including blacks, hispanic, white etc. Blacks American Citizens who vote Kamala are voting for more job competition between themselves, and the illegals, non citizens. I think he was clear enough for those that matter.
we see this a lot. I just had someone demand that I prove that affirmative action has led to blacks with lower GPA/test scores getting into elite universities over whites and Asians with higher scores. we also see leftists demand we prove that black males commit more murders than any other group. it's a form of passive resistance to demand proof of things everyone should know
The convention was for "Black Journalist" (NABJ). They were identifying a Black job. You won't see a "White Journalist" convention (NAWJ).
How many blacks and other minorities were in the Trump Admin and as WH interns? An idea if both add to more than 10?
obviously he means jobs held by black people which could be any job in the world except maybe to play the part of a white dude in a biography movie about a white dude You folks are trying hard with the race baiting AINTCHA? You know exactly what BLACK JOBS means. Sad, so sad
If you look at the testing scores in cities like Baltimore and Chicago, you'd notice a certain group of people aren't doing so well which limits their job prospects to menial work. The illegals who come here are uneducated and unskilled and compete with that certain group of people for jobs and they'll work cheaper and won't complain.
And it again begs the question, what exactly are those jobs that Trump is talking about? Is he stereotyping intensive manual labor jobs, like agricultural work or menial jobs like being a janitor or working in a slaughterhouse? is that what he was referring to here? Or is Trump trying to pit blacks against Hispanics in this statement of his?
Well, words matter Yes, it is and he doesn't have any. Never has. You really should give at least one example because all evidence is to the contrary. "those that matter"?!!!
Wait.....if he means jobs held by black people which could be any job in the world, why bring in "black"? Oh right, Trump is doing the race baiting!!! THAT'S sad. Very sad.
Lots of white people whose testing scores are low which limits their job prospects to menial work. Never heard Trump refer to those menial jobs as white jobs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The conversation driven by the left is never about white people being kept down, it’s ALWAYS about blacks being kept down. Trump was pointing out how jobs taken by illegals won’t go to blacks, at the venue he was in, should he have said whites? Biden has been pandering to blacks from day one and the left never complained. Now Trump points to a problem that impacts blacks and the left loses it. Seriously, how many times has Biden and Harris, when claiming they’re trying to fix a problem, say that problem disproportionately impacts blacks or POC? And how many times when they propose something they claim how much it will help blacks and POC?
That venue wasn’t the first time he said “black jobs”. I get it…you need to defend everything Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
