Jared Kushner Slammed for Suggesting 'the Black Community' Doesn't 'Want to Be Successful'

Jared Kushner on the Black community: "President Trump's policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they're complaining about, but he can't want them to be successful more than that they want to be successful." pic.twitter.com/SX9vWiAfag

He's on FOX though, and thus only talking to white people. He knows what that audience wants to hear. He's energizing the racists.

The New Tone.
“We will not control the pandemic."
“We will not help black people more than they want to be helped."

"problems they're complaining about...?"

"more than they want to be successful...?"

Wow. How do they put this guy in charge of anything?

So Jared Kushner is referring to the Black community as lazy

Typical racist behavior

Trump and Kushner were born into wealth. Most Americans are born into debt. It must be nice to have “success" written on your birth certificate.

Trump connecting with the black community - by refusing to rent apartments to them? But Little Kush's case is different; the Kushner own swaths of “garden apartment" complexes where black folk live in rat infested, mould ridden units. I call that a personal connection.

Right up to November third, they will continue to shock those of us who think we can no longer be shocked by them.

Wow. White privileged kids telling black people they do not want to be successful. Also trumps policy are pretty much anti anyone who isn't rich, white, or a friend or family member.

In fairness, Jared Kushner's definition of success is using his dad's name to buy an old office building nobody wants to lease space in and then using the power of his access to the Presidency to get a bailout from corrupt emirs in the Persian Gulf.

Jared Kushner told Black Americans that Trump was delivering for them if only they would stop “complaining."

One thing that's clear is that Trump has delivered for Kushner. He's delivered him wealth, political power and access to top secret intelligence.https://t.co/JmtVxp7NbA

To Jared Kushner, Black Americans' grappling with inequality, racism is 'complaining' https://t.co/26oeSn8Iek

Also, the phrasing: "...the problems that they're complaining about."

Not "conditions they're experiencing." Not "Issues that concern them."

No, it's "those people" COMPLAINING.

Jared Kushner wants to distract white voters with images of “complaining" and “lazy" Black people so they won't vote to make billionaires like the Kushners pay their fair share in taxes.

Our country will be truly great only when we put an end to their divide-and-conquer tactics. https://t.co/GPRm2ioC2E
