Walked into my "black job" today. Cleaned some toilets, stole a TV, and asked "where all da wite wemin at?", all while doing a little jig.
/s for the slow ones.
EDIT: For those that probably want to know what Trump thinks of "the blacks" and what jobs we work...

I think it's ShowBoat and one of the most offensive movies I've ever tried to watch. And if I'm wrong about the movie title, I'm okay with that.

I admire that man so much. I can't imagine facing what he does every single day in that maga dungeon and still get up the next day and do it again.
I don't want to donate to his campaign (though I will), I want to donate to his therapy bill so he doesn't burn out.

He seems like someone who is very sure of himself. I’m sure he’s very aware of the threats against him, because he is such a polarizing figure. I am glad that someone is finally standing up to the system of oppression in Tennessee, where I live. I saw him speak at a protest in downtown Nashville. He speaks the truth and he speaks to the people, not to the rich.

I think he was just trying to appeal to black and latino voters by saying that illegal immigrants are taking their jobs specifically and therefore they should vote for Trump to prevent that. But then because it’s Trump he naturally worded it in basically the worst way possible.
11
u/K-Dot-thu-thu 2d ago
Right, but illegal immigrants are only able to get the worst/illegal jobs because they do not have appropriate documentation.
Meaning to say that they are specifically stealing black/Mexican jobs is to imply that is the only work those groups can get.
-14
u/Fakjbf 2d ago
No it only implies that such jobs are predominately done by black and latino people, not that it’s the only jobs black and latino people can get or even that it’s a majority of the jobs they can get. If the only people working such jobs are black or latino but they only make up 0.1% of the total jobs that all black and latino people work, you could still “reasonably” call them black and latino jobs (with a loose definition of reasonable at least). It would be a dumb thing to call them but technically not incorrect.

Senses had to be tingling because that was like watching two drunk uncles argue at the family function. Equal parts of being comical and being concerning, I was laughing while considering which country I’m about to move to with my family.

Are people not offended when people say “the black vote”. I’m not black but I always thought that was not an ok thing to say.

u/DirtySilicon 1d ago edited 1d ago
I'm not, personally. It's not a Black thing as much as its a non-white thing. We are just a demographic that doesn't resemble the greater population. Notice they will also talk about the Hispanic vote and so forth. I personally think it's fine that they understand black and other minorities have a separate set of issues that may be of more importance to us than greater America, that pretty much refers to "White America." Like most of us won't support a racist candidate. White America probably doesn't give two flying fucks since it has zero effect on them, aside from maybe that asinine idea that minorities are the primary beneficiaries of welfare. The republican party seems to still believe in welfare queens. *shrugs*

I think you underestimate how many white people hate racism. One of the reasons a lot of white people don’t like Trump is because he’s racist.

u/Books_and_Cleverness 2d ago
People have the hardest time understanding that immigrants both do jobs and also create them.. They buy clothes and groceries and get haircuts and need car maintenance and blah blah blah.
“Immigrants steal jobs” is saying “babies steal jobs.” It’s crazy! Immigrants are just babies, but older, and from somewhere else.

More people = more work/spending = more commerce
Opposite of their beliefs the vast majority of people contribute to their countries economy through various forms of making and spending money.

Yeah if more people meant fewer jobs, we’d be the poorest country in the world, and the whole world would be poor as dirt. But the opposite is true!

Yes, Trump framed it the same way he frames every "issue" he brings up. He uses fear and blame. In this instance he wanted "The Blacks" to know the "Black Jobs" were in danger because the "Evil Illegal Immigrants" are being let in by "The Democrats". Of course he will deport every one of these dangerous enemies of "The Blacks" if you elect him President again. He also wanted to make sure you knew that he's already done more for "The Blacks" than any President in history.

Three ways I can answer this:

You mean keeping a nuanced eye on the phukkery white folks do on a regular nd teaching my family how to recognize and be wary of the same?
Or are we on some Ice Cube "Black Korea" type shit?
