Social Media Reacts To Donald Trump Mentioning “Black Jobs” During The Presidential Debate

#BlackJobs is trending on social media after Donald Trump made an absurd statement during Thursday’s presidential debate with Joe Biden.

In his statement, he claimed that people are crossing the border and taking “black jobs.”

Many weren’t shocked, pointing out this is just more textbook white supremacist rhetoric from Trump.

However, Black Twitter (X) quickly took over, making memes and witty comments with the hashtag #blackjobs.

Since last night, the internet has been filled with hilarious content and once again, the black community has showed resilience by turning absurdity into humor and solidarity.
