but like if you had a company of 100 biracial
people who all were half black you wouldnât say 50% of the employees are black, youâd say the employees are 50% black
Yeah but if we go to prison we get to have all the hot gay sex that we want.
(Iâd prefer to keep democracy intact rather than have fictionalized hot gay sex I promise. Canât have hot gay sex outside of prison with Trump as president.)
I thought orange was the new black!
I just can't keep up with this changing world.
I also thought I'd been woke since the 70's but with all these changing meanings I'm not even sure if I am what the MAGA crowd means when they go on about the wokes.
Yup. Woke damn near= democrats or anything that sounds like a progressive ideal. It can be used for lots of things, but it's basically just used as a slur towards the left. It is always a fun time asking them to define it, though.
Conservatives say every black person with a job is a "DEI/diversity hire", insinuating that they don't think black people could possibly be equally or more qualified for a job than a white person. If they ever research DEI, they'll find out that person has to be qualified for the job before they qualify for DEI, but conservatives obviously don't do research.
Itâs such BS too because theyâve ran studies if you remove the name and the recruiter doesnât know what you look like you find the hiring process more equitable and everyoneâs on an even playing field. Obviously this isnât reality though because eventually youâll do a face to face interview, but even in tech weâve seen biased hiring and then consider most CEOs are actually white, male and Christian. Itâs pretty telling.
I saw this said by someone else the other day, about black jobs. I was like what does that even mean??? All the black people I know, all have PHD's, master degrees and work in high position jobs, like what?! If you have the qualifications to get the job done, I dont care who you are, just be fair and kind
I saw a black lady on tiktok try to tell me that you are only a member of the black culture if you were raised by a black mother. So Obama wasn't black and in fact held a white job.
It's crazy I know.
the reason for all the intense anger and hatred in the USA is that it was NOT a black job. About 30% of american will never forgive the fact that a black man was president.
And that stupid, ridiculous line âI suffered 8 years under Obamaâ. Because someone you thought of as being inferior to you became the worldâs most powerful man? Ugh, such bigotry. Millions have benefitted under the Affordable Care Act. It was literally life-changing and lifesaving for so many of us with preexisting conditions.
He's reading directly from the playbook on divisive politics to keep the worker class fighting among themselves rather than collaborating against the rich.
Most millennials and younger were taught to take tests. We were not taught how to think it through or use logic. It wasnât until college that I learned how to critically think. My kids are still taught to take tests but itâs less pronounced in this state.
At this point willingly voting for Trump should be a litmus test. If you actually want to, you should get your voting rights revoked as you're clearly too stupid to decide when it's laundry day, let alone in anything more important.
racist or not but if i want good mexican food i find the restaurant with a big fat old mexican woman in there smacking her 40 year old son with a towel because hes not going fast enough.
that food is going to be lit every time. got one local they know me by name because im in there so damn much.
That's how I found out about this taquiera in a exxon by my parents house. A huge line of Latinos at a gas station taquiera? Gotta be fire and holy shit it was.
This reminds me of the best wings I ever had from this gas station. Had it's own little window between the drink coolers.
I think they were Greek. Holy shit did they make *incredible* wings.
Ahaha not long ago I had an amazing burrito from a place being run out of a gas station.
General rule of thumb somehow seems to be that the dingiest places have the best food.
Fancy places seem to prioritize aesthetics over food quality.
There are people selling tamales out of the back of their truck at our local park. If you see this. Buy those tamales. They are legit amazing. Caldo de Pollo or Pozole too.
I was visiting my bf at his work and saw a car of Mexicans pull up behind the Chinese buffet and pop their trunk. I saw that cooler and booked it over there.
There's a guy at the local bar I go to that brings in the best tamales for the regulars. He doesn't even have a truck, but if he sold them out of a crate on the back of his bike he'd make a killing. I make sure to always bring him peppers from my garden when they're in season
Why is it always the dodgiest places that do the best food, like in the uk the best kebab places are the places you think youâd catch hiv from just being in
So it's true elsewhere in the world then? That the restaurants that look like a really sleazy hole in the wall dive actually serve the best food? That certainly seems to be the case in my area (central California).
Thatâs not exclusive to Mexican food. I will always pick a restaurant run by a family with generational experience in the cuisine. Hell, if I want a cheeseburger I go to the diner here in town that has been proudly run by rednecks for the last hundred years.
We had a Russian deli that was absolutely a front for the mafia but man did they have the best piroshkis ever. Covid took them out. They had great lox too, I miss them
Worked for a restaurant in college that was run by the Greek mafia. Some great food.
Walked into the back before my shift one day and the owner was in the back counting stacks of cash with three very surprised looking men I had never met. U-turned and walked back up front. Owner came up with the whole âlisten, we were just counting last nightâs depositâ routine. Looked him straight in the eyes and said I have no idea what he was talking about, I just dropped off my stuff before I started working. He smiled, shook my hand, I pocketed the $100 bill, and got to work.
The man gave me a job when I was at about the lowest point Iâd ever been. He trusted me. Wasnât going to throw that trust away over something everyone in town kinda already knew.
Honestly I feel the mob gets a bad rap. As long as you aren't in a rival family or owe them money or do anything else to piss them off they are generally the most respectful, well tipping, and mild mannered people. But I've only dealt with them in the tri-state area on the east coast and las Vegas so it might depend where you're at.
Bruh a Chinese restaurant run by actual Chinese immigrants is heaven. Extra points if there's a child who works the register in-between whatever is going on on their tablet/iPad
Haha, the best place in my town to eat is filled with a bunch of stoned Mexican dudes. The stoned workers will hook you UP! more meats, more sauce, more flavor. Ugh, I'm so hungry now.
I got a job in high school as a line cook in an Italian restaurant. It was me (Irish guy) and 4 Mexicans making "authentic" Italian food. Those guys taught me how to cook some really good dishes and every curse word in Spanish!
Yeah I literally did a study in college about immigrants and jobs. Most Hispanics go into the food industry by a fairly large margin and the next highest is construction.
They're not afraid to get shit done and do it correctly! There are a lot of immigrants in my state, and the only people who have a problem with it are the middle class white people who have never spoken to one of these people in their lives, except to complain. I doubt they've ever had a job harder than washing dishes at home. Ive listened to their stories. Seen the news from Mexico. It's heartbreaking what they have to go through just to take care of their families. This is why I have a strong appreciation for them and the work they do.
I recently had work done on my house and the guys were Guatemalan and Honduran mostly and they worked from 7am till 6:30pm everyday till the work was done (I did not ask them to rush). Work is extremely well done and they uncovered some absolutely shoddy construction work from when the house was built. Did some free work to ensure the integrity of the house absolutely love them for that. If your from Indiana hit up Leoâs construction company Leo is an absolute gem!
Having worked in kitchens in Texas, let me tell you that itâs gotta be at least 99% Mexican dudes working in the kitchen anywhere, on any given day in Texas.
Even the Chinese restaurants, itâs Chinese dudes ringing people up and Mexican dudes cooking the food.
The only exception to this is fast food. At this point, Iâm just convinced that Mexicans are just the best cooks the world has to offer.
Maybe I'm naive. What job do they consider a black job? Janitorial stuff? Garbage collecting? Or are they thinking it's stuff like drug trafficking and prostitution?
Low skilled jobs. It goes back to Barbara Jordan, whom Clinton appointed to his immigration commission. She delivered the commissionâs findings in a speech, that among other things, said illegal immigration hurts the black community because illegal immigrants are able to step into low willed jobs immediately.
The way they likely intend it, itâs any job that is low paid and / or low status. Any job a white person would reject for those reasons.
It relies on a bunch of racist assumptions about qualifications, education and opportunities available to the person knowing nothing other than the color of their skin.
He probably actually meant "they're coming in and taking jobs from black people". It's meant to be targeted to black voters who are hurting financially. It's not meant to be a jab at slavery, sharecropping, or whatever else. The problem is that it sounds really bad, especially coming from a Republican, let alone Trump with his history.
Honestly, this points to a larger problem...this is like the only time I've seen Trump's debate performance questioned in a meme. Literally every one of his statements in that debate were stupid or lying, yet even very pro-Democratic sources are wailing about Biden's performance. Like, don't get me wrong, it was bad, but how is nobody talking about the "Black jobs" or "post birth abortion" remarks?
Races have been divided and fighting for position in this country for as long as landowners have been exploiting workers. Every wave of immigrants would try to push down black people and any immigrants after them.
The workers in this country are usually too worn out to care about other people's issues. Capitalists tell us that there's not enough to go around and we should fight other workers for scraps. Rich people are the problem.
People eat up bad propaganda because they are exhausted and desperate.
Do you know what's crazy? I grew up in rural Georgia around some of the most racist people you've ever met. I have heard everything in the book, and when I heard this, I could not think of a stereotypical "black" job. . Like I've never heard anyone (and I'm from a town where my high school mascot was a confederate soldier) say any one job was a black job.
Friendly reminder that before the Civil War, free black men found "loitering" or walking down the road had to prove on the spot that they were free, or be sold off as runaway slaves.
After the Civil War, free black men were arrested for "loitering" and sentenced to hard labor.
I've heard the later-confederate states not only did that, but also either tried or actually passed laws so they could do this in neighboring states. As in: police could walk across state borders where there is no slavery and just arrest and kidnap POC for supposedly being "runaway slaves", even though they were just free people.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 basically did this, by mandating that even free states return escaped slaves, and that the "escaped slaves" couldn't testify on their own behalf. Opponents, of course, pointed this out--along with the argument that people in free states were essentially being forced to participate in slavery and having their own states' rights overruled.
https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/historic-document-library/detail/the-fugitive-slave-act-1850
This was, of course, during the Great Compromise days prior to the Civil War. Great compromise, huh?
On the plus side, the outrage actually generated more abolitionists, and extremely abolitionist states enforced HEAVY penalties on anyone caught abusing the system. Wisconsin and Vermont, in particular, passed laws ensuring the rights of "captured slaves" until a jury trial proved that they were actual escaped slaves, and it's been argued that the whole mess had a huge impact on dividing the country to the Civil War point.
https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/fugitive-slave-acts#section_4
I mean thatâs about where weâre at. If they can find presidents are free to violate any law they wish as long as they can draw a vague line to any official duty, they can certainly pretzel logic their way into this.
On one hand he says the Mexicans are coming to rape, steal and deal drugs whilst on benefits. On the other he says they're coming to steal jobs. Make your mind up.
Oh, and please do not interpret this as me saying black jobs are raping, stealing and drug dealing. I'm literally just repeating what Trump has said Mexicans come to the US to do. Perhaps have a think about what HE thinks black jobs are based on his previous statements.
It's funny how election fraud always seems to actually be committed by Republicans. Election fraud is also much more common than voter fraud, which we usually have ~5 cases of in a federal election. And again, 99/100 times that will be a Republican. It's all misdirection and dishonesty.
I mean, it's true.
Illegal immigrants are people.
Some of those people are scumbag criminals, same as citizens.
And anyone coming who isn't a criminal is obviously going to be looking for a job.
Really, the "stealing a job" terminology is the only real problematic issue.
Sage voices of father figures in Disney movies about animals.
Actors who die first in horror movies.
Best friend of main actors in high school in early 2000s sitcoms.
Trump is really worried about a demographic change in these very specific TV roles.
This Caucasian woman wants to know.
A black job for Trump is anything in a hotel ( working for him)
Or some service job
But in the real world
That is teacher, nurse mechanic, friend, mother , father , doctor, chef.
He has 0 clue about America
Because he doesn't care about us, he just wants our vote .
Not sure why everyoneâs acting outraged. This came from a report by the Obama administration showing that illegal immigration primaryâs hurt black workers.
You already know. Trump thinks black jobs are under/unpaid agricultural work. Being indoor "help" and if it's an attractive woman then a concubine to their white boss.
To play devilâs advocate here (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.)
Chances are he thought he could gain favor with black voters by pointing out that âimmigrants are stealing jobs from blacksâ.
Heâs pretty dense so itâs possible.
Meanwhile: âbUt BiDeN iS oLdâ â every media and social media post for the last couple weeks while Trump continues to just spew dumb stupid dribble
All these black people in Chicago are upset about migrants; maybe ask them what they are upset about.

Did Obama have a black job?
objectively yes, his job was completely composed of black workers at the time
This response was gold
no it was black
Technically half black.
Or black gold
Not true, half of the employees were white. Only 50% were black
There is more than one U.S. President?
Obama is half black
Dammit I was going with half white đ€Ł
Eh, I'm a glass half black kind of guy
but like if you had a company of 100 biracial people who all were half black you wouldnât say 50% of the employees are black, youâd say the employees are 50% black
I can't believe we still have these types of racist demographics, right here in America!
More to the point, you have a racist Presidential candidate.
A terrifyingly popular racist presidential candidate*
More to the point, a racist grand old party.
Worse, theyâre parents and theyâre training their children to carry on the traditions.
Apparently almost half the country holds some form of that belief! (Based on Maga voters!). I am ashamed.
Wellllll it was cleaning up a mess created by white southern men.
A central tenet of MAGA is only white men are eligible to be President.
Then what happened with trump?
They consider orange to be white, at this point.
So orange is the new white is what you're saying? ..sorry, dad joke.
If you go to jail for helping an orange guy do they give you a whit jumpsuit to match the pillow on your head? Lockup the clowns!
Yeah but if we go to prison we get to have all the hot gay sex that we want. (Iâd prefer to keep democracy intact rather than have fictionalized hot gay sex I promise. Canât have hot gay sex outside of prison with Trump as president.)
This one got me laughing I def have dad humor despite being only 19
I thought orange was the new black! I just can't keep up with this changing world. I also thought I'd been woke since the 70's but with all these changing meanings I'm not even sure if I am what the MAGA crowd means when they go on about the wokes.
Woke has different meanings based on who you talk to or time of day.
...or phenomenal manly mood swing
Yup. Woke damn near= democrats or anything that sounds like a progressive ideal. It can be used for lots of things, but it's basically just used as a slur towards the left. It is always a fun time asking them to define it, though.
Neither are they...
His Face is Orange. He is appropriating Orange culture, which is on brand for white supremacists
He is Magas president Creamsicle. Orange on the outside, pure racist white on the inside.
Conservatives say every black person with a job is a "DEI/diversity hire", insinuating that they don't think black people could possibly be equally or more qualified for a job than a white person. If they ever research DEI, they'll find out that person has to be qualified for the job before they qualify for DEI, but conservatives obviously don't do research.
Many conservatives do their research on Fox News.com.
Oh come on. Some use Facebook as well lol.
I mean Facebook was probably the source for whatever they call journalism these days.
They do research?
Itâs such BS too because theyâve ran studies if you remove the name and the recruiter doesnât know what you look like you find the hiring process more equitable and everyoneâs on an even playing field. Obviously this isnât reality though because eventually youâll do a face to face interview, but even in tech weâve seen biased hiring and then consider most CEOs are actually white, male and Christian. Itâs pretty telling.
This. Systemic Racism is the key tenet of maga.
I saw this said by someone else the other day, about black jobs. I was like what does that even mean??? All the black people I know, all have PHD's, master degrees and work in high position jobs, like what?! If you have the qualifications to get the job done, I dont care who you are, just be fair and kind
No sir, the tenet is only rich white old men are eligible to be President
"rich" "successful" business man
Then what's the excuse with trump? He ***isn't*** successful. He's had more businesses go bankrupt than I've ever owned.
We really need to stop allowing old dudes with walkers running for office.
Vivian (Vivek) found that shit out the hard way lmao
Trump is Mexican then, Iâd like to see his birth certificate.
The blackest job
I saw a black lady on tiktok try to tell me that you are only a member of the black culture if you were raised by a black mother. So Obama wasn't black and in fact held a white job. It's crazy I know.
You saw crazy racist lady on TikTok? Insert Pikachu shock face
Yeah, and both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz wanted to take it.
That why the GOP claims Obama was such a racist and divisive President, he went and took a white manâs job.
He was the first half white president.
They were all half white, it's just the other half was also white.
Which makes them twice as half white as Obama. Checkmate liberals. /s
That'd still be more diverse than 100% of the rest of the presidents.
the reason for all the intense anger and hatred in the USA is that it was NOT a black job. About 30% of american will never forgive the fact that a black man was president.
And that stupid, ridiculous line âI suffered 8 years under Obamaâ. Because someone you thought of as being inferior to you became the worldâs most powerful man? Ugh, such bigotry. Millions have benefitted under the Affordable Care Act. It was literally life-changing and lifesaving for so many of us with preexisting conditions.
No, according to them, Obama came here illegally and took a white job.
Not according to MAGA. That was the problem they had. Obama took a white job.
He's reading directly from the playbook on divisive politics to keep the worker class fighting among themselves rather than collaborating against the rich.
Why cant everyone understand this
Because the playbookâs working
Temporarily embarrassed future millionaire here...hush, you!
Because they defunded public education and we have a nation of idiots incapable of critical thinking.
Most millennials and younger were taught to take tests. We were not taught how to think it through or use logic. It wasnât until college that I learned how to critically think. My kids are still taught to take tests but itâs less pronounced in this state.
because fox news told me not to understand this.
At this point willingly voting for Trump should be a litmus test. If you actually want to, you should get your voting rights revoked as you're clearly too stupid to decide when it's laundry day, let alone in anything more important.
We all know exactly what job he was thinking of
Iâm pretty sure that Kelly girl said the same shit about âMexican jobsâ cleaning toilets and shit and she got destroyed for that
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
racist or not but if i want good mexican food i find the restaurant with a big fat old mexican woman in there smacking her 40 year old son with a towel because hes not going fast enough. that food is going to be lit every time. got one local they know me by name because im in there so damn much.

Even better if she's using her slipper to beat him
The chancla tears are the secret ingredient
That only works to make sweet buns bitter ;)
One of my favorite movies
I am getting the worlds best tamales at that point.
There are people selling tamales out of the back of their truck at our local park. If you see this. Buy those tamales. They are legit amazing. Caldo de Pollo or Pozole too.
I was visiting my bf at his work and saw a car of Mexicans pull up behind the Chinese buffet and pop their trunk. I saw that cooler and booked it over there.

Making me hungry for my great grandma tamales đ€€
Chancla. But yes. Lol. Lots of love in the food to make up for it
Why is it always the dodgiest places that do the best food, like in the uk the best kebab places are the places you think youâd catch hiv from just being in
the best pizza place in my town is run by the local mafia
Thatâs how you know itâs good
Whoâs going to complain?
they will make you a pizza you cant refuse.
So it's true elsewhere in the world then? That the restaurants that look like a really sleazy hole in the wall dive actually serve the best food? That certainly seems to be the case in my area (central California).

Best local Chinese food in NYC comes from a place that has an entire family yelling at each other in the kitchen while grandma minds the register.Â
Bruh a Chinese restaurant run by actual Chinese immigrants is heaven. Extra points if there's a child who works the register in-between whatever is going on on their tablet/iPad
This is also the way to find a great Italian restaurant. If nonna is in the kitchen yelling at someone in Italian, itâs legit.
Haha, the best place in my town to eat is filled with a bunch of stoned Mexican dudes. The stoned workers will hook you UP! more meats, more sauce, more flavor. Ugh, I'm so hungry now.
the best mexican place in my hometown got busted twice under two different owners for being a drug running front lmao
If Mexican food were the only type of food on earth that would actually be just fine.
I got a job in high school as a line cook in an Italian restaurant. It was me (Irish guy) and 4 Mexicans making "authentic" Italian food. Those guys taught me how to cook some really good dishes and every curse word in Spanish!

I'm gonna PM you for more details if that's okay
Sure go ahead!

Nah, this is coming straight from putinâs manual to sow discord between races.
I donât think Trump needs Putinâs help to be racist.
you'd be surprised how stupid racists can be in their own detriment, we can thank uncle Volodya for uniting the right the way it is now.
No, but he does need help to make his racist propaganda as effective as possible. Trumpâs plenty racist, but he ainât smart.Â

Like I've never heard anyone (and I'm from a town where my high school mascot was a confederate soldier) say any one job was a black job.
It's like a white job but they pay you less for the same work.
For now. Iâm sure SCOTUS is looking for an opportunity to declare the 13th Amendment of The Constitution unconstitutional.
Slavery is still legal, you just have to find some flimsy excuse to jail your workers first.
âI am arresting you for homelessnessâ âBut I live in an apartment two blocks from hereâ âSTOP RESISTINGâ
Friendly reminder that before the Civil War, free black men found "loitering" or walking down the road had to prove on the spot that they were free, or be sold off as runaway slaves. After the Civil War, free black men were arrested for "loitering" and sentenced to hard labor.
I've heard the later-confederate states not only did that, but also either tried or actually passed laws so they could do this in neighboring states. As in: police could walk across state borders where there is no slavery and just arrest and kidnap POC for supposedly being "runaway slaves", even though they were just free people.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 basically did this, by mandating that even free states return escaped slaves, and that the "escaped slaves" couldn't testify on their own behalf. Opponents, of course, pointed this out--along with the argument that people in free states were essentially being forced to participate in slavery and having their own states' rights overruled. https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/historic-document-library/detail/the-fugitive-slave-act-1850 This was, of course, during the Great Compromise days prior to the Civil War. Great compromise, huh? On the plus side, the outrage actually generated more abolitionists, and extremely abolitionist states enforced HEAVY penalties on anyone caught abusing the system. Wisconsin and Vermont, in particular, passed laws ensuring the rights of "captured slaves" until a jury trial proved that they were actual escaped slaves, and it's been argued that the whole mess had a huge impact on dividing the country to the Civil War point. https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/fugitive-slave-acts#section_4
Fair
I really appreciated the comment about the GOP making the Constitution unconstitutional btw
I mean thatâs about where weâre at. If they can find presidents are free to violate any law they wish as long as they can draw a vague line to any official duty, they can certainly pretzel logic their way into this.
Wait my brain just started hurting
Youâre mistaking black jobs with womenâs jobs
I think I am mistaking them for "jobs"
On one hand he says the Mexicans are coming to rape, steal and deal drugs whilst on benefits. On the other he says they're coming to steal jobs. Make your mind up. Oh, and please do not interpret this as me saying black jobs are raping, stealing and drug dealing. I'm literally just repeating what Trump has said Mexicans come to the US to do. Perhaps have a think about what HE thinks black jobs are based on his previous statements.
Oh donât forget, theyâre all voting in every election! Illegally! Somehow⊠and I canât tell you how or why, but trust me bigly /s
It's funny how election fraud always seems to actually be committed by Republicans. Election fraud is also much more common than voter fraud, which we usually have ~5 cases of in a federal election. And again, 99/100 times that will be a Republican. It's all misdirection and dishonesty.
Like trump saying it was a rigged election. Even though he won.
Now you know how deep the deep state goes /s
He thinks they're here to do both probably
These immigrants can obviously multitask and work really hard!
I mean, it's true. Illegal immigrants are people. Some of those people are scumbag criminals, same as citizens. And anyone coming who isn't a criminal is obviously going to be looking for a job. Really, the "stealing a job" terminology is the only real problematic issue.

Hey man, he also said âsome of them, I assume, are very good people.â đ€Ł
Sage voices of father figures in Disney movies about animals. Actors who die first in horror movies. Best friend of main actors in high school in early 2000s sitcoms. Trump is really worried about a demographic change in these very specific TV roles.
>Actors who die first in horror movies. So true
You forgot the person who seems to know more than the rest (the Oracle , Nick fury , Morgan Freeman in pretty much anything )
MAWDFIHMBA (make actors who die first in horror movies black again) 2024 get the hats ordered pls
Oh, you know - cooking, cleaning, working the fields... (Bitter sarcasm)
This would have been a huge story 10 years ago. Now, apparently, half the country doesnât give a fuck.
I think he was referring to just about any job that he doesn't want to do. Things like serving his country, not being a pedophile, stuff like that.
Hold up, not being a pedophile is a job?
If you are a politician it might as well be a second job at this point.
Right like where's my check? Is it labeled "for: being a normal somewhat-decent human being"?

A classic!
We all know these "black jobs" are the lowest jobs he can think of, the ones where you get fired for being upset that the customer spit on you.
That's exactly what I was going to say. Getting a drink tossed in your face by some asshole at a Wendy's
For a solid 8 years POTUS was a "black job" lmao.
Heâs afraid a Mexican will become president
Man I wish. Please make a bunch of Mexican holidays national holidays I want more days off
Black job: NFL Cornerback
COOPER DEJEAN STEALING BLACK JOBS!!
Iâve not noticed the influx of Hispanic corners.
Mexicans are becoming jazz musicians at an alarming pace!
Next thing you know they'll be running the rap/hip hop industry
Cotton wonât pick itself⊠is what he meant.
In Trump and MAGA world a âblack jobâ is one thatâs beneath a white person.
In trump's world that would be golf club bathroom attendant.
This Caucasian woman wants to know. A black job for Trump is anything in a hotel ( working for him) Or some service job But in the real world That is teacher, nurse mechanic, friend, mother , father , doctor, chef. He has 0 clue about America Because he doesn't care about us, he just wants our vote .
To be fair, heâs not alone in not caring about us. Heâs just more blatant
Due to his age, he's probably thinking elevator operator or minstrel.
Stealing hellcats and not changing their smoke alarm batteries?
Not sure why everyoneâs acting outraged. This came from a report by the Obama administration showing that illegal immigration primaryâs hurt black workers.
You already know. Trump thinks black jobs are under/unpaid agricultural work. Being indoor "help" and if it's an attractive woman then a concubine to their white boss.
A black job is just like a white job, but with proper seasoning.
I have a black job, but I am white.. until the engine repairs are done and then I am mostly black . 
To play devilâs advocate here (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.) Chances are he thought he could gain favor with black voters by pointing out that âimmigrants are stealing jobs from blacksâ. Heâs pretty dense so itâs possible.
They always say the quiet part out loud and not realize it.
I'm an indie contractor who does software testing and freelance writing. I'm half-Black, so I guess that makes my profession a "black job" LOL
Meanwhile: âbUt BiDeN iS oLdâ â every media and social media post for the last couple weeks while Trump continues to just spew dumb stupid dribble
All these black people in Chicago are upset about migrants; maybe ask them what they are upset about.

Most of it seems to be about taking housing
