Prospects for black America about to get worse under Trump, report says (May 2, 2017)

Black and Hispanic Americans continue to lag far behind whites economically -- and their prospects look much worse under President Trump, according to a report to be released Tuesday by the National Urban League.

“The social cancer of hate continues to metastasize, thriving in a climate conducive to hostility towards religious and racial minorities, permeating even at the highest levels of national discourse and threatening to further crack our fractured nation,” Morial wrote in the report.

He said the economic distance between whites and blacks has not changed since the '60's.

Joe's Republican mindset kicked in and said black economic circumstance "OMG - hasn't changed since the '60's!"

Democrats bad, too, you know.

No, says Morial.

It has gotten better for blacks, too. It just has been getting proportionally better for whites, too - no gain on equality!

This is a perfect example of the falsehood of "equal opportunity" being an appropriate measure if you ignore "equal outcome" in the end.
