[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's disgusting. Crime has run rampant and we cannot seem to do anything about it. This is the result of years of liberal policies of trying to shut down police and give criminals more rights. And here we are. I hope all the stores move out of low income neighborhoods. Stop spending money in these areas. Move all services out. These people deserve jail and nothing more.

I suspect there will be a R landslide in the next election cycle. I've never voted R in my life but see now that the soft on crime policies were clearly wrong. These people deserve absolutely zero sympathy. They're thugs and are destroying our cities.[/quote]

Bigoted, vile hogwash. You are disgusting.

How can you watch that video and not see desperate people who don’t have enough food to sustain them, and are pushed to acts of desperation like we see here? People with food don’t riot. People who have hope don’t riot. People who believe the6 have a future don’t riot.  These are poor, desperate people without hope. That’s what drives them to this.

This is what trump has done to Americans. He’s taken away everything from people who had almost nothing to begin with. Don’t blame these starving people rioting to ge5 food for their children - blame trump. He took away what little they had, and gave it to the rich. [/quote]

What exactly did Turnip take away from people who had almost nothing to begin with? Can you point me to a policy of his that resulted in poor urban people "losing" what they had? Because if anything, real wages for just about everyone went up nicely during the Trump years, till COVD hit. [b]One of the biggest beneficiaries of the wage gains under his administration were actually black men,[/b] which is one reason why Trump's support among non-whites actually went up in 2020 over 2016. Meanwhile, under Biden, most people's real wages went down noticeably due to rampant inflation of the last few years, with working people hit the most.

We can always argue of numbers and debate policy, but until you can show us exactly what Trump taken away from Americans,  I can't see anything in your post but delusional hysterics. [/quote]

Cite this crazy BS you friggin’ liar. [/quote]

DP.

There are links in the article to back up the claims.

[quote]Unemployment rates for Blacks hovered for months at or near historic lows. Workers with less than a high school diploma and criminal records left the sidelines of the workforce.

Before the coronavirus, the labor force participation rates of Blacks, prime-age workers 25 to 54, and women ticked up from Obama-era lows. Even years into the Obama economic recovery, these workers were still leaving the labor force.

High employment under Trump led to minorities experiencing the largest income gains. Real median income grew by 7.9% for Blacks in 2019. That outpaced 2018’s income growth of 2.6% and 2017’s income decline of -2.4%. Notably, Black median income growth last year surpassed income growth rates under the Obama administration. There’s still more work to do though. Although Black median income hit a new high, Blacks earned the lowest income level of all groups (just over $45,000 a year).[/quote]
