more that i don't see that part really matter since the good thing is that there's improvement. if he wants to take credit for it, fine, whatever. life is better - that's all that matters. which, on MLK, sure seems to be the main point.

I just do not think you are seeing in between the lines here. The primary statement being made is "I am an awesome president and you should be grateful for me," and his motivation behind this statement is that he has a huge ego and he gets antsy whenever people aren't lavishing praise upon him. It has literally nothing to do with black welfare and if you don't see that then you've just being misreading the guy for years. (Yes, all politicians do try to score points in this way but most would invoke the entire country when doing so; hence me saying "50 years" vs "3 years" which is obviously a petty statement about himself and a slight against his predecessor)

Also it's highly questionable whether or not black lives have improved in the last three years, I would probably say "about the same" at best, it's more likely than not a scarier time to be black
