| James Clyburn Dismisses Record Black Employment: ‘We Were Fully Employed During Slavery’ |
| 2020-02-22 |
| [BREITBART] CAVUTO: Let’s leave the words aside, whether you like his style or not, tweets or not, or comments or not, he’s delivered the goods for a lot of African-Americans. Does he not with record-low unemployment levels?… You don’t think that’s something that’s constructive? REP. CLYBURN: No, because it’s not true. I’m saying that the African American unemployment is not the lowest it’s ever been unless you count slavery… We were fully employed during slavery. So, it all depends how you measure this up. "Thanks to our Democrat Masters" |

| #15 Some may curse him yes, but I think far more don't. Trump hasn't arranged government make work jobs the way Obama did, he improved things so that jobs came to those wanting them. Even if its just 30%, it makes a huge difference vote wise. One thing is certain, the amount of people here in the oilfield admitting to supporting anyone but Trump is tiny. Hard to want to vote for someone who plans openly to kill your job. |

| #14 The opinion polls seem to indicate that among the urban Afr-Amer male population, there are many more normies than was previously assumed. Certainly many more than that arrogant little shit, Mini Mike, believes. It will not take very many of these normies to double Trump's vote tally among Afr-Amers, which would seal his victory in the swing states this fall. |

| #13 Charger called it. It's not about changing the players, it's about changing the game. Most of those involved in serving the welfare culture don't want that either. |

| #12 ..although the benefits of not working and deriving an income for voting themselves other peoples' money is attractive to numerous sectors of the population regardless of color. Bingo. Folks on the right who think that Trump will get substantially more of the black vote because "Jobs!", really don't understand how many in that cohort simply don't think in those terms. Some may even resent Trump, because improved employment numbers mean that your social worker or benefits tech will be saying: "Darnell. There's plenty of jobs out there now. Why are you still unemployed?" For normies, work may mean a dignified existence. For people accustomed to gaming the system, it just means less Free Shit, and more hassle. Far from applauding Trump, many of them may be cursing him for this state of affairs. |

| #11 #9 They ARE toast, and know it. If Trump gets 15% of the Afr-Amer vote the Dems can kiss goodbye MI WI and PA. Game over. |

| #10 We were fully employed during slavery. So, it all depends how you measure this up. I'm waiting for a better way to "measure this up", Rep. Clyburn. |

| #8 A masterless slave is still a slave. |

| #7 Those who think like Clyburn care nothing about employment they just want to live off the reparations they think they're due. |

| #6 So he's basically saying that being a slave wasn't so bad. Idiot! |

| #5 Well, that explains why we have two words there, employment and enslavement. Seems I remember some NBA millionaire saying he was basically a slave... |

| #3 There's a large difference between paid employment and unpaid employment! I'm pretty sure most blacks would prefer to be paid! |
