Personally, I thought the whole ‘black jobs’ controversy was a tempest in a teapot pushed by race hustlers and Democrats (but I repeat myself) in order to alienate black voters and cat ladies from Donald Trump.
So I am neither shocked nor appalled that Joe Biden has adopted the term himself. So what? Everybody knows what he means, and it wasn’t meant to be derogatory by either Trump or Biden.
Hi @axios, I look forward to your reporting blasting Biden for using the term “Black jobs” pic.twitter.com/MGjmhhYprN

What IS striking, though, is the failure of any of those race hustlers or mainstream media folks who PRETENDED to be outraged by Trump’s use of the term to express similar outrage when President Biden used the term.
I’m not surprised, but it IS striking because it is so obvious that none of these people were sincere in their outrage.
Con artists should avoid being so obvious about their fraud. The mark gets suspicious.
What are “black jobs?” We all know exactly what both of these men mean. He isn’t referring to jobs reserved for black people, or that black people are by nature incapable of doing office work or intellectual labor. It’s pretty simple: the black population is disproportionately urban (hence, “urban music” and “urban culture” usually refer to a certain portion of the black population) and, on average, more likely to have jobs not requiring a college degree.
Here’s Biden a few weeks ago blasting Trump for using the term “Black jobs.”
Here’s Biden today using the same exact phrase.

That means they are more likely to fill the same niche as immigrants. Simple. Those jobs are just as honorable as any other and can be high-skilled and high-value. I wouldn’t be surprised if roofers made more than me, and probably they should, given the nature of the job. Certainly, tradesmen do, and it doesn’t bother me that a plumber or electrician makes more than me. It is supply and demand. My nephew, the electrician, makes more than I do, and he is still near the bottom of the union ladder.
More importantly, most black people competing for jobs understood and probably agreed with Trump, and I doubt they are planning any protests against Biden for using the term.
The left and the MSM depend on pushing ridiculous race narratives to keep us divided. The last thing they want is normies banding together to push back against their anti-working class agenda. When black, brown, yellow, and white people struggling to get ahead join forces against the elite, it will be glorious for us and scary for the elite.
No, I am not calling for a working-class revolution, and am not saying that working-class ideas for fixing America are some panacea. There is a role for public policy wonks to slave away in think tanks examining the pros and cons of various policies.
But it’s quite clear that the people doing so in Washington are not plotting policies to help all Americans; what they want is to create a transnational society run by technocrats for technocrats.
I prefer an America run by Americans for Americans. When push comes to shove I need farmers, electricians, and roofers a lot more than I need bureaucrats and media figures in DC.
