President Donald Trump made a point to highlight the
black unemployment rate during his State of the Union
address.
The Congressional Black Caucus greeted his comment with
silence.
During his first State of the Union address, President Donald
Trump made a point of highlighting recent news that the black
unemployment rate had fallen to its lowest level in history.
The Congressional Black Caucus, however, greeted his comment with
a nearly silent response.
"Why are the black congressmen Refusing to applaud the 'lowest
unemployment rate for AAmericans?' #sotus," tweeted conservative personality Glenn
Beck.
Some were quick to note that, while the
black unemployment rate fell to 6.8% — still above the national
unemployment rate — under Trump, the drop was a continuation of a
change that began under President Barack Obama.
"Any way you square it, the drop in Black unemployment was a
trend that started under President Obama," Democratic Sen. Kamala
Harris tweeted. "President Trump is
just along for the ride. However, we can do better — the Black
unemployment rate is still approximately double that of white
unemployment. #SOTU."
