‘Hello from my Black job’: Black Americans share workplace photos after Trump’s bizarre debate line

24 comments

1. Where the news media failed to call out Trump, Americans stood up and shouted back. More stories like this need to cover news media about how the majority of Americans are rejecting Trump.

2. How about Asian jobs?

   No one seems to court our votes….

3. Why aren’t there 100s of editorials linking the “black jobs” quote to right wing talking points on DEI? I guess they’re too focused on being the smartest white guy ever for telling Biden to drop out?

   It’s clear that right wingers believe that there are jobs black people aren’t capable of and only are gifted these jobs after companies enact certain policies.

4. His idea of black jobs is what he sees in his orbit. Housekeepers, dishwashers and laborers. Get with it folks. This immoral convicted felon and his cronies need to be SHUT DOWN. VOTE VOTE VOTE. Blue down ballot too.

5. He should speak. He hired a black man.

6. If you don’t vote for Biden, you ain’t Black – creepy joe

7. “Those Italians are really taking those Irish jobs”

8. Still waiting on everyone to figure out he a NE liberal.

9. He probably still thinks Black Jobs are those ones portrayed in Gone With The Wind.

10. Trump himself took a “black job” since he followed Obama.

11. Glad people are giving him shit for that line. Seems like no one was talking about it after the debate. If a candidate said something like that in any other debate, it would be front page news the next day.

12. Well, obviously people without jobs aren’t going to be taking selfies at their jobs. Like these people:

13. Saying black jobs = racist

    Saying black businesses = empowering and brave

    Seriously, it helps no one to pretend to not understand in the context Trump was saying jobs that could have went to a black person.

14. I work at the post office. I’m white and I’m at my black job.

    (Family guy reference, don’t hate me)

15. I was just readiding the article and it hit me, Trump didn’t just say “Black Jobs” he also said, “Hispanic Jobs”.

    So, the Hispanic Immigrants are coming to take “Hispanic Jobs”?

16. I believe the news media is afraid of him he has said more than once he will make the journalists pay for the bad things they say, so maybe jail. Sounds like a 3rd world country to me. I blame the media for 80% of what is happenning now. This guy should get no ajr time to repeat his racist violent inciting banter yet here we are.  I watch local news only and cannot read yahoo news anymore its so disturbing it ruins my day. And all i keep reading about now is how he is gaining the minority vote. Oh well.  Turn off the news put your phones down and have a good rest of your weekend. All we can do is vote. God bless!

17. Couple this with their DEI narrative, and there’s an agenda there.

18. I think hes talking about barber shops

19. Wait, did he call her a diversity hire in that video?

20. If I am a business owner of any of the construction trades, and I hire immigrant labor, where are the vocal opponents of my company? Why push all the negativity on immigrants when it is those people hiring them who take advantage?

21. Trump did take a black man’s job and even moved into that man’s former home. And every country in South America has had Hispanic presidents. He must’ve been referring to ruling over nations…

22. Is the post of President of the United States a “Black” job, Obama did it pretty well.
    Did Trump take a “Black” job?

23. Are we all gonna pretend that we don’t know what black jobs mean? Like we didn’t know what trump meant when he said it? 

24. FAT profits over democracy
