President Trump falsely claims ‘record Black employment,’ amid rising Black joblessness

President Donald Trump appeared to take credit for “record” Black employment in a Truth Social post amid rising Black unemployment during his second term. On Thursday night, Trump posted a meme aiming at former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and their record for Black Americans. For Clinton, the image reads “record Black imprisonment,” likely referring to his infamous 1994 crime bill, and for Obama, “record Black welfare.” But for Trump himself, the meme reads, “record Black employment.” During Trump’s […]

Jimmy Carter’s life intersected with slavery’s legacy. His record on Civil Rights is complicated

Young Jimmy Carter and his friends were walking across a pasture after a day’s farm labor during the Great Depression. As they came to a gate, his companions stood aside and let Carter enter first. This was no act of kindness or intuitive deference to a future U.S. president. The teens stopped because they were Black, and James Earl Carter Jr. was white, a 14-year-old whose father owned the Georgia land they all worked. After years of playing and working […]
