Neither of those does that much for Blacks vs Lincoln.
The economic opportunity zones, disproportionately help blacks. Criminal justice reform, disproportionately helps blacks. School choice, disproportionately helps blacks. Which of those statements is false?

Paul, ask your self this. Would you be this resistive to giving the president credit for helping blacks, if Hilary had won and had the same exact results as Trump? Or would you be saying she deserves the Nobel Prize?

I don't like Trump as a person. But nevertheless, until we shut ourselves down by choice, blacks were way better off than they were on his first day. Obama deserves some credit for that. Trump deserves some credit for that.

I'm sorry you don't like those facts. Facts don't care about you feelings towards Trump.
