Trump Campaign’s Stunt Threatens an Atlanta Man’s “Black Job”
While the media’s frenzy to topple the Biden campaign continues, there’s an appalling story that’s flown just under the radar and not getting nearly enough attention.
During the debate, Trump managed to make a claim that was both xenophobic and racist at the same time. He claimed undocumented immigrants were “stealing black jobs.” The typically lazy, irresponsible media did produce some reporting on this, but nobody bothered to ask Trump or his campaign officials, wtf a “black job” is? The assumption, given what we know about Trump’s racist attitudes (for example, he thinks his mug shot will get him black votes cuz..we all know “the Blacks” are criminals, right? They can relate!) is that he’s referring to low-level jobs like janitorial work, housecleaning, etc.
Meanwhile, here’s an example of THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN trying to take away a man’s “Black job” as a successful business owner.
Right before the debate, the Trump campaign conned Rocky Jones, a barber shop owner in Atlanta, into hosting a promotional event. They lied to him and told him his venue would be used for a seminar on how to help black small businesses. Much to his shock, once he gave them access to his shop, they turned it into a campaign event for Trump.
