"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" the US President tweeted.
Remarking on Mr Trump's comments in an interview on CNN's The Van Jones Show, Jay-Z said: "It is disappointing and it's hurtful, it really is hurtful.
"Everyone feels anger, but after the anger it's really hurtful because he's looking down on a whole population of people and he's so misinformed because these places have beautiful people."

I'm trying real hard to imagine Trump celebrating a 6.8% unemployment rate for whites.

(15,805 posts)Jay-Z wasn't talking about black employment, and neither should Trump because, unlike Obama, he hasn't signed any bills that would increase job opportunities for POC. Trump can't defend his racist views, his racist politics, or his racist policies, so he clutches at a favorable statistic and tries to stamp his brand on it, just like he does with hotels and condos.
