Trump's State of union spoke to record low Black unemployment & Dems refused to applaud!
Can you imagine hating our President so much, that when his policies created record numbers of jobs for Black people, Democrats and the Black caucus refused to stand and applaud that great news for Black people.
The truth of Conservative policies and their benefits to all Americans, is making Democrats look like fools when refusing to celebrate good news for our workers.
Democrats have been race bating for decades, telling everyone how much they care for the plight of Black people, etc., and then when Trump actually helped accomplish record low unemployment for Black people along wth Hispanics, women, etc. etc., they sat on their hands and would not even applaud the good news for their main voting block.
THIS IS HOW MUCH THE LEFT HATE'S TRUMP! No matter what he accomplishes, they will hate him! They hate him for simply being Conservative no matter how much his Conservative politices are working.
This is the dysfunctional intolerance the Left has for Conservatives. They don't care how fast America's economy is growng! They don't care how many families will be helped by this economy! They are Socialists!
They simply do not care about the working man and woman. The Left is not happy when their Government dependent voting base become self sufficient, because Democrats will lose their vote. The working person will no longer want to vote for Democrat's who tax them more.
I listened to the Democrat response to the State of the Union address, and STILL THESE LYING FOOLS ARE SPEWING THE LIE OF HOW THE TAX CUTS ONLY HELP THE RICH! It is truly sick watching these losers continue their lies when the truth is so obvious. They truly look like intolerant hateful obstructionist fools.
Black and Hispanic unemployment are at or near record lows.
The short answer
Trump's numbers are right, but it's generally a stretch for presidents to take credit for job creation.
The long answer
Trump is right that African-American unemployment hit a record low in December. The unemployment rate for black Americans is currently 6.8 percent, the lowest level recorded since the government started keeping track in January 1972.
And he's also right that the Hispanic unemployment rate is down a point over the last year — it was at 4.9 percent in December, down from 5.9 percent in December 2016. That is close to a record low, though it's also up 0.1 point from November.
What does it tell you when a Party refuses to celebrate good news for the working man? It tells me they only care for one group of Americans..... the ones who vote for them.

You are SOOO WRONG about this.
They do not even care about the people who vote for them.
The Democrat politicians only care about THEMSELVES.
I agree the Democrat Party cares for no one but themselves, but my point is their policies are geared to pander to only those groups who vote for them.
They constantly pander to their voting blocks whether Blacks, LBGT, Feminists, etc. etc.
If Republicans policies would hurt the poor (plan to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Food stamps/SNAP, TANF, Housing assistance, Education funding, after-school programs, Disability Insurance, Social Services, LIHEAP, etc. etc.), does that mean Republicans don't care about all Americans?
Policies will often have winners and losers. Parties support policies they were elected to support.
It has nothing to do with caring for all Americans - each party would say their policy is best for America.
Republicans have always supported safety nets for those who are incapable of supporting themselves.
In my entire life, the GOP has tried to keep spending down and reduce THE RATE OF GROWTH of medicaid programs, etc. etc.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS CUTTING SPENDING!
The GOP wants policies that creates jobs for these poor people you speak to. It is common sense to gve a person a job rather than a career of welfare checks.
Obama created record numbers of people on food stamps! I could say that the Left hates poor people and keeps creating more of them.
The number when he left was already below the level from Sep 2010.
Of course they would go down some after a recession.
Under Obama, the number of participants went up by 10,692,596 total; they went up by 14,685,580 under Bush - 10,946,777 by May 2008, before the worst part of the recession.
These are the same people who say that requiring an ID to vote is racist against black people because black people are too stupid to figure out how to get an ID.
Exactly, Democrats treat Black people in a condescending way, constanty calling them victims of others. Sending the message they are incapable of getting ID's, getting jobs, supporting themselves without Government.
The Left treats the Black community like chldren who can not fend for themselves.
You are 100% correct. It is a sign of insecurity when one refuses to admit the obvious.
For people on the Left to admit that Trump's Conservative policies are working, would be to admit that their's did not. They are too insecure to be so honest.
If the Democrat Party were willing to come to the middle, they might actually get some respect and possibly win a town councel position once more.
Failing to 'give credit where credit is due'' is the hallmark of resentful shallow minded losers.
Is that why Trump refuses to give any credit to Obama for the economy he inherited (stock market was already at record highs before the election, high consumer confidence, unemployment under 5%, recovered housing, banking, auto industry, etc.)?
His policies created job opportunities of which the blacks got their fair share.
Your ridiculous question is suggesting that President Trump and his administration should exercise POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION by generating jobs specifically and exclusively for black people?
