Former President Donald Trump went viral after a Presidential Debate comment on what he called “Black and Hispanic jobs.”
Trump did not explain what he meant by the comment during the debate. The moment, which came as Trump was discussing illegal immigration, proceeded with him remarking that “immigrants allowed into the country by President [Joe] Biden have taken Black jobs and Hispanic jobs.”
The reaction from the internet was swift, from the NAACP asking: “What exactly are Black and Hispanic Jobs!?!”
And many others asking the exact same thing:
To people wondering “what are these specific jobs that we are only allowed to have!??
There was also some criticism for the moderators, who did not push back on the comments, with people saying: “I’m deeply tired of moderators like this that have nothing to say about “Black jobs” and “Hispanic jobs.”
And making fun of the fact that after Trump’s comments, the moderators just moved on like nothing.
There were also people pointing out Trump always seems to come for marginalized communities. “Frmr. President Trump saying that illegal migrants are “taking Black & Hispanic jobs” & then using the term “Blacks” in the same response is appalling. The vendetta that the former president has against marginalized communities, INCLUDING immigrants, is vile.”
A second Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is expected to take place before the election. Hosted by ABC, it will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 9 p.m. ET.
