Rap tycoon Jay-Z criticized President Trump on CNN. He said in a new interview that lower unemployment for the country’s African-American population is not enough, when people in power are still mistreating minorities and others.
President Trump responded in a Tweet on Sunday.
Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!

Jay-Z watches ‘Fake News’, his information is distorted. #FakeNews = CNN

CNN would not tell Jay-Z that his information was wrong so he continued to speak. He said that lower unemployment for the country’s African-American population is not enough, when people in power are still mistreating minorities and others.
He said in the interview, “It’s not about money at the end of the day. Money doesn’t equate to happiness. It doesn’t. That’s missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings. That’s the main point.”
In January, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate for black workers was 6.8 percent in December. That is the lowest rate in 45 years.
Comments with no facts may have been attributed to what Trump said about African countries. Those comments have been pulled completely out of context.
The Jay-Z rant comes ahead of Sunday night’s Grammy Awards for music, at which Jay-Z is an awards nominee.
Jay-Z told CNN Trump’s alleged remarks initially invoked anger but are ultimately “hurtful” and “disappointing.”
Well, I have an opinion and I can’t help myself from responding on Twitter and with an article.
I guess Jay-Z should stop getting his news and information from ‘Fake News’ outlets.
All these haters, just want to be more relevant, and throw their pennies in the pot, thinking people will think they really are intelligent. The only reason some think they are intelligent, is that someone else, writes the words in their scripts. When will they realize, that hate begets hate, and this is the very thing we used to teach our children, not to do, when they were young. Accept others, no matter race, creed, or ethnicity. It is sad that these are no longer taught in the home, the only thing taught now is
H A T E.
You are so right Joyce. There is no more love or tolerance. Thanks for commenting.
Money doesn’t buy happiness, that much is true. However, whilst Jay Z chirps from his ivory tower, having a job happens to be the difference in being a free person and a slave in a country that hands out free money in exchange for votes to the Slaver Party (the DNC, as they call themselves). Maybe he’s afraid free people won’t have any need for his kind of entertainment?
I wouldn’t buy his type of entertainment so you may have a good point there Randall. Thanks for the comment.
