Blacks and Trump

Durning the 80's and 90's when the democrats controlled both the house and senate by wide majorities they were accused of being soft on crime and so they set about to increase the penalties on drug crimes and Senator Biden led the way. Comprehensive Control Act: This 1984 law, spearheaded by Biden and Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), expanded drug trafficking penalties Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 This law, sponsored and partly written by Biden, ratcheted up penalties for drug crimes. Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 This law, co-sponsored by Biden, strengthened prison sentences for drug possession, Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act: This 1994 law, partly written by Biden and signed by President Bill Clinton, imposed tougher sentences In spite of this Biden is considered a friend of the black community and Trump is the enemy yet today Black unemployment is the lowest ever and wages among the low income groups are rising. In addition Trump signed a sweeping criminal justice measure intended to reduce the number in prison and this helps Blacks more than any group. Black voters are becoming aware of these things and a recent Emerson poll showed Black support for Trump at 34%
