Trump fires back at Jay-Z: 'Black unemployment' is at 'lowest rate ever recorded'

Source: The Hill




BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 01/28/18 08:28 AM EST

President Trump on Sunday fired back at Jay-Z after the rapper called Trump's reported "shithole countries" comments "disappointing and hurtful."




In an interview Saturday, Jay-Z was critical of Trump's reported reference to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries."

“It is disappointing and it’s hurtful. It really is hurtful," Jay-Z said. "Everyone feels anger but after the anger, it’s really hurtful." The rapper said the comments were especially disappointing coming from the nation's leader.

"Because it’s looking down at a whole population of people and it’s so misinformed because these places have beautiful people and beautiful everything. This is the leader of the free world speaking like this," he added.

Have to do with the 'shithole countries' comment? This tweet itself proves he said it and has no remorse for it at all. It also proves he's a racist. It's basically saying "you N****** should be grateful and thankful for me. I'm saving you." He is such a disgusting human being. He hates outspoken African Americans and I do wonder if he is the reason Jemele Hill is getting less air time.

There he goes again - attacking the powerful black folk to the point where he can't seem to distinguish the difference between his craven utterances about African countries and the oppressed African American population here in the U.S., many of whom were here at least a century before his sorry ass ancestors got off the fucking boat.

He is so insecure in his self-worth that he is literally the living, breathing example and embodiment of that LBJ quote -
