Report: Prospects for black America about to get worse under Trump
Black and Hispanic Americans continue to lag far behind whites economically and their prospects look much worse under President Donald Trump, according to a report to be released Tuesday by the National Urban League.
Despite promises of a "new deal for black America," any recent progress made toward racial equality is increasingly under threat, said Marc Morial, the league's president and chief executive. The president's incendiary rhetoric on the campaign trail has translated into discriminatory public policy, he said.
"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.
