What the hell is a "Black job?!

Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime
What the hell is a “Black job?!”

Trump claimed that his opponent’s “big kill on the Black people” was allowing “millions” of people to enter America via the border.

“They’re taking Black jobs now and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people,” Trump said.

“They’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs and you haven’t seen it yet but you’re gonna see something that’s going to be the worst in our history,” he added.

We’re still trying to figure out what a #BlackJob is? Because if it’s showing up every day to build a democracy that continues to undermine us, we’ve been doing that since 1619. Quote this with your “Black job”

CBS journalist just asked Marc Rubio, “What’s a Black Job?”

“You know migrants come in and work at a lower wage.”

Journalist: “So Senator are you saying Black jobs are low wage jobs?”

Senator: *stutters*

now immigrants are stealing Black jobs?...jobs like cleaning toilets, mucking out sewers, hauling bricks and boulders, mowing lawns, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, clearing fields...the jobs the white people refuse to take because they're you know...white.

The high paying ones are fast food jobs. Otherwise they are the jobs nobody but school aged kids on summer break would take (and usually not even then).

He dumps so much shit in such a short period of time nobody in corporate media save a few on msnbc will even mention it.

He's always able to reveal what he REALLY thinks if you let him talk.

So if you're black & unemployed, well by God you need to get out there and start applying for the BLACK jobs! There's your mistake!!
