President Donald Trump is urging his followers to inform rapper Jay-Z that “because of my policies,” unemployment among black Americans is at the “LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!”
The president’s tweet Sunday appears to be in response to a CNN interview in which the rapper said the president’s vulgar comments about African countries and Haiti were “disappointing” and “hurtful.”
Jay-Z said on the debut episode of “The Van Jones Show” on Saturday that lower unemployment among blacks doesn’t make up for the president’s attitude. Jay-Z says, “It’s not about money at the end of the day,” and it “doesn’t equate to happiness.”
The black unemployment rate of 6.8 percent is the lowest on record and has reached levels not seen since the end of President Bill Clinton’s administration.
Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!

He has to grow up and keep his silly comments to himself! I think he needs someone to be with him all the time to rephrase his remarks. Or to remind him not to say certain things at given times. Bottom line stop talking just do!! We like what you do but not what you say.
While I know nothing about such things, Wikipedia shows me that this Jay-Z is obscenely rich (at least on paper Forbes in 2017 puts his net as $810 million) In his own book 2010 he describes a 1999 altercation (with another person of colour). He states how he went over to sit at the bar openly stating things like the F-word mixed with the N-word relating to this guy.
