Doesn't diabetes affect the AA community heavily? But yeah...none of this affects black folks
I keep seeing this "none of this affects blacks" talk. It's funny in a sad way, cause im sure Trump has something in store for us. Slowly but surely, our turn is coming up.
No one ever said that Trump wouldn't do anything that wouldn't affect black people. Because some people believe that there is a silver lining for black people in Trump's presidency and no matter how many times you explain it, they'll still parrot that " none of this affects black people".
False.
That was a DIrect Quote...
In response to someone explaining all the ? Trump would do if he was elected.
I knew that the sheer STUPIDITY of that statement could not be fully realized while in the throws of a campaign.
That's why I continuously bring that quote to light while Adolf Cheeto is actually in office.
So people like you can't make up #AlternativeFacts.
Find a quote where someone on here said that Trump isn't going to do anything that wouldn't affect black people. -

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/white-house-detainee-order-numbers-discrepancyMore People Affected By Travel Ban Than White House Initially Claimed
During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Patrol, offered very different numbers for the people affected by the executive order barring travel from certain countries than the White House provided to reporters on Monday.
During a press conference Monday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that only 109 people were impacted by the order at airports over the weekend.
However, Kevin McAleenan, the acting commissioner of the CBP said on Tuesday that the U.S. denied entry to 721 travelers and granted waivers to more than 1,000 people letting them into the U.S. as of Monday. These numbers differ greatly from those Spicer told reporters on Monday.
John Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, attempted to explain the discrepancy to reporters on Tuesday, saying that Spicer was using numbers from "early on" in the implementation of the order. Kelly said that the government can only provide numbers with about 24 hours delay.
McAleenan added he believes the "White House was referring to the initial hours."
Spicer caught lying again... -
I'm wondering how this is going to affect Farrahkhan(?) should he decide to travel.

http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/232856168-storyDetroit family caught in Iraq travel ban, mom dies waiting to come home
DETROIT (WJBK)
- A local business owner flies to Iraq to bring his mother back home to the US for medical treatment. But under President Trump's ban on immigration and travel from seven predominately Muslim nations, he was forced to leave his family behind.
His mother died just one day after being told she couldn't return to the United States.
Mike Hager fled Iraq with his family during the Gulf War, returned during the Iraq war and worked alongside United States Marines and Army forces. He now owns a business in Metro Detroit and said his mom would still be alive today if President Donald Trump had not instituted his travel ban on Muslim countries.
Hager said he was returning home with his family that included his sick mom. They were returning home to the United States where his mother has lived since 1995. As they were waiting in line at the airport in Iraq on Friday, he was told that he could pass through because he was a U.S. citizen. But his family members - including his mom - weren't allowed, despite holding green cards.
"They destroyed us. I went with my family, I came back by myself. They destroyed our family," Hager said.
Hager was born in Iraq and fled during the Gulf War. He lived in a refugee camp with his family for four years before settling in the United States. In the 2000s, he returned to Iraq where he worked as a contractor for the United States Special forces between 2003 and 2008 as an interpreter and cultural advisor. He even survived being shot in the back while serving.
He's a proud American citizen whose family has now been torn apart.
"The immigration told us that the President of the United States put an order right now - you guys cannot go," he told FOX 2's Amy Lange.
Hager, his niece, and two nephews were traveling with his 75-year-old mother, Naimma, home to Michigan. They traveled to Iraq to visit family and when she fell ill. Hager said he didn't expect it to be a problem for the family to travel since they all had green cards and had lived in the United States for 20 years.
"I was just shocked. I had to put my mom back on the wheelchair and take her back and call the ambulance and she was very very upset. She knew right there if we send her back to the hospital she's going to pass away - she's not going to make it," Hager said.
Sadly, he was right. Naimma, lived in the United States since 1995, wasn't allowed to come home. She died in her native country. Hager said if it weren't for the order, his mom would still be alive today.
He blames her death on President Trump.
I really believe this in my heart: if they would have let us in, my mom - she would have made it and she would have been sitting right here next to me," Hager said. "She's gone because of him."
Just as the family was traveling, President Trump signed an executive order banning travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries.
Travelers from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia are banned from traveling to the United States for 90 days so the country can detect "individuals with terrorist ties and stopping them from entering the United States."
Hager says he has no idea when his nephews and niece will be able to return to the United States and he's worried about his own status - even though he is an American citizen.
"This is our home. We've been here for too long, we've been here since we were kids," Hager said. "If I'm not wanted overseas in Iraq and I'm not wanted here, then where do I go? What am I supposed to do with my family?"
Hager is mourning more than his mother; he's also mourning the way of life he believes that makes America great. He also has this message for the Commander in Chief:
"You have to understand you have a daughter - you have family - imagine if somebody does that to your mom. You put the terrorists on this side - the bad people - but don't mix everyone together," Hager said.

I want ? to understand that when settling for a life of minimum wage this is what can happen. If you don't further your education or get a trade that's what happens. Plus being Black society already against a ? .

I'm saying immigrants make it harder for the average young black man...
So ? em, and idk why you ever replied to my post when you agree....
I truly think you are an idiot. Like legitimate you are dumb. I agree in that I don't care about Muslims. I don't agree because what he did is illegal and can be used against Blacks. I honestly don't know how much simpler I can make it for you.
As for immigrants making it harder maybe on your side but all my ? getting there's without destroying their community
How can banning immigrants be used against black people
I'm not a ? immigrant
Your parents, grandparents or their parents etc were though, youre in a nation of immigrants, unless youre a native american, hating on immigrants makes you a hypocrite sob...
America (and Canada aswell btw) are huge lands with very low populations, there is more than enough room when yall let go of the fear of change...
My people been here over 500 years
No matter how they got here, it's 500 years
I'm not a ? immigrant
Well all the presidents, senators etc are and were immigrants or descend from immigrants, the natives of the land are actually a minority....you speak English but its probably not your ancestors native tonque, ? everything about America is foreign...whether it came there 500 or 5 years ago, it is still foreign...
