Better for Black Employment & Wages: Trump or Obama? (Pt. 2) | Jason Riley | POLITICS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Jason Riley, a writer at the Wall Street Journal and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, about identity politics taking over the Democratic Party, how BLM and the modern day civil rights movement is destroying the message of Martin Luther King Jr., and why Thomas Sowell has enjoyed a renaissance with young black conservatives. In this clip Jason talks about how race relations surprisingly worsened under Barack Obama and didn’t improve under Donald Trump. Despite this there was significant growth in the number of black Trump supporters and black Republicans. He finds the growth of black conservatives a promising development for the Republican Party and proof that Democrats do not have a lock on the votes of minorities. Jason explains how black unemployment declined significantly and wages in the black community increased before COVID. Jason also discuss the mistake Barack Obama made in thinking that he had a mandate for pushing through progressive policies and wonders if Joe Biden will make the same mistake.
