Today I read an article on CNN that was talking about Trump's speech that he gave earlier in the week in Michigan. In this speech he said:

"You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed -- what the hell do you have to lose?"

In this attempt to woo African American voters into voting for him, he ended up actually offending them by categorizing an entire race by saying that they are all in poverty and are in need of help. He also asks the audience "What do the have to lose?" Many people found this offensive as well. The article says that this is not the first time Trump has talked about this 58%. 42.7% of this percentage are of people from ages 16-24 Who did have a job in July. This 58% is an incorrect statistic because not everyone in that percentage may be looking for a job. This also caused a lot of debate as well.
