Racist, yes he is. Black unemployment was also low during slavery

...as long as you don't count imprisonment, pay, working conditions, etc.

The "I am the least racist person in the world because black unemployment is low" is a lame excuse. Could have heard that from a land owner in the south 200 years ago.

Trump signed no legislation specifically to help black people get jobs. There are no new programs, training or education that Trump put in place just to assist any people of color; and that in itself points to bias and prejudice. If more blacks are working it's because of their own efforts, not anything that Trump has done.

Trump has always been a racist. He was a racist business man and now he's a race baiting president. Hes a racist today and he will still be a racist tomarrow.
