Tina Knowles takes a swipe at Donald Trump with 'Black jobs' remark
Tina Knowles began her speech and said, "This is what you call Houston proud! I am honored to be back in Houston tonight, the city where my girls got their voices."
The fashion designer and philanthropist continued, "I’ve been so blessed in my life to have many careers, many Black jobs. But I have said before, the best job that I’ve ever had is being a mother."
The "Black Jobs" remark was a dig at Trump as the Republican candidate had stunned people in June 2024 when he referred to "Black jobs" during a debate against President Joe Biden.
During the debate, Trump aimed at Biden’s border policies and claimed that "millions of people" crossing into the US are taking "Black jobs" and "Hispanic jobs," per the outlet.
