Trump takes on JAY-Z in black unemployment beef

President Trump took a swipe at JAY-Z after the rap icon referred to the commander-in-chief as a racist "superbug."

“Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

The “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” rapper blasted Trump a day earlier for allegedly referring to Haiti and some African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting on immigration.

“Everyone feels anger, but after the anger it's really hurtful because he's looking down on a whole population of people and he's so misinformed because these places have beautiful people,” he said on CNN’s “The Van Jones Show” in an interview that aired Saturday.

Trump allegedly made the comments to a group of senators during a meeting earlier this month to fix the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The remarks sparked outrage and criticism both in the U.S. and overseas.

JAY-Z, whose birth name is Shawn Carter, said the remarks played into a bigger conversation on racism that needs to happen in America.

“You don't take the trash out,” he said during his CNN interview. “You keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable and then, you know, as those things grow, then you create a superbug.”

“And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug.”

But he then took a softer tone on his fellow New York native, saying the President “is a human being, too.”

“Somewhere along his lineage, something happened to him,” he said. “And he’s in pain and he’s expressing it in this sort of way.”

Unemployment for black Americans, at 6.8%, is indeed the lowest rate in the 45 years that the statistic has been tracked.

But a recent report in the Philadelphia Tribune noted that it is disproportionately higher than white unemployment, which is 3.7%, and higher than the national average of 4.1%.

The rate of black Americans out of work has also steadily dropped since early 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
