How does black America get fixed?

Oh yeah, poor baby Felonious Trump. Everyone is against him. Get a grip, Lord of P, and list for yourself all the groups and people whom Trump has insulted, check out his list of lies, note the significant number elections he has questioned with no evidence, remember him bragging about sexual assault and the number of women who have accused him of what he bragged about, and don’t forget the civil judgement against him for that.

Trump’s theme for years has been to Make America Hate Again, reviving hates and fears from yesteryear. But I guess that like Claude Raines in the film “Casablanca,” you’ll be shocked, SHOCKED to find that some of the hate that Trump has spread has bounced back at him.

He fired someone for producing job statistics because he didn’t like the results. Do you mean actions like that? What do you see in this action?

Quite a fixation on black people here from MAGAs recently.

It’s usually the LGBT in their crosshairs.

Interesting to take note of.

The fixation is always from the left. The right simply responds to stupidity.

I'm sure the lying media tells you such things.

Trump tells us to hate democrats. Do they cause fear in a city?

He doesn't say that. If so i never heard it.

Link please. I think once again, you are misinformed and too lazy to verify.

True, the problem is not that Trump fired the official for stating job statistics that he didn’t like, that is, for doing her job. The problem is that the media reported that Trump fired the official for stating job statistics that Trump didnt like, that is, for doing her job.

And anyone who trust the media without verification is a total fool.

And those who trust what Trump says are bigger fools.

No, just as foolish. The bigger fools are the ones that cannot see past their bigotry and hatred.

Facts get obscured when you allow confirmation bias to affect you.

The lists of Trump lies are there for you to review. These are the facts:
- she reported on data he didn’t like
- he fired her for reporting data that he didn’t like
The precedent was set a few years ago when Trump fired the cyber security guy he had hired for saying the 2020 election was legit.

Believe as you wish. I see you have no valid links to confirm your assumptions.

I assumed nothing. Trump fired the guy today for reporting data that Trump didn’t like. Trump said it was rigged, offered no evidence. And in November 2020, Trump fired Christopher Krebs, his own cyber security director from the Department of Homeland Security for the latter’s saying the 2020 election was legit.

I can understand you supporting Trump for his policies, but why believe his lies?

He was a holdover from the Biden administration. It's amazing it took this long to let him go.
 
This site shows the issues (largely economic) involved, and proposes various solutions.

I think the fundamental issue here is that America was supposed to be a "land of opportunity", and once was - for some races. But now there's not much opportunity going on. The main tax supposed to 'equalize' wealth, income tax, is a tax only on getting rich, and doesn't scuff the shoes of the truly wealthy. Then there's payroll tax - a whole 15% of your salary, made to look small by "the employer paying half" - which explicitly exempts the rich. Schools, supposed to provide opportunity for all, have been segregated by community, and communities are segregated by socioeconomic class via extreme building regulations. And Red China has long been less bureaucratically hostile to new small businesses than the U.S. is.

The same way Appalachia can be fixed: investment in socioeconomic development:

“ A woman who escaped her drug-addled hometown in rural Kentucky said Appalachia residents face similar problems as inner-city Black communities but get much less attention.

"Some of the poor Black communities, if something happens over there — I don't know if it's a skin color thing, I don't know if it's to try to maybe shine a negative light on their communities — but they do report more on these instances," Melissa Smith told Fox News. "Whereas in our communities, I've never heard anybody on the media even utter the word 'Appalachia.'"”

What's the murder rate in Appalacia?

We are reminded daily that black communities are disproportionately poor. Throwing government money at the problem obviously isn't helping.
