However, even at an annual rate of 6.6 percent, the black unemployment rate was still more than double the white unemployment rate of 3.2 percent in 2018.
The black unemployment rate has been about double the white unemployment rate for more than four decades,
The Trump administration should be judged by what they do to keep the rate down, and to close the persistent 2-to-1 racial disparity. That would be a truly historic accomplishment worthy of everyone attending the State of the Union rising to their feet in thunderous applause.

Do your fingers get dirty from being in your ears all the time?
"Americans of all backgrounds are experiencing economic success in the Trump economy"
No matter how much you dislike this, it's true. The facts don't care what you think of them. But when your agenda forces you to deny what is mathematically irrefutable, that's some agenda you got there.
"somehow Trump has helped out blacks on purpose as if it was his plan "
I don't know if it was his plan, you don't know that it wasn't. But THIS I know, this we all know...at the state of the union, Trump celebrated low black unemployment, and one side erupted in cheers, and the other side sat on their hands with scowls on their faces, just as you and Pete do when this comes up. It's GREAT news for minorities. Again, we all know you hate that, but it's true nonetheless.
"The black unemployment rate has been about double the white unemployment rate for more than four decades,"
Blame the absentee fathers, that's where the blame lies. Not with Republicans.
Black unemployment is at a all time low. And you can't say a single good thig about it, because you hate the man you know helped pull it off.
"The Trump administration should be judged by what they do to keep the rate down, and to close the persistent 2-to-1 racial disparity."
"The Trump administration should be judged by what they do to keep the rate down"
The rate IS down. Are you judging him on that?
"and to close the persistent 2-to-1 racial disparity"
I'll judge him on his ability
to give them the opportunity to close that gap. If they choose not to take advantage of the rising tide lifting all boats, that's not his fault.
Blacks aren't suffering today, because of racism. They suffer because their culture embraces unproductive behaviors, starting with fatherlessness. The unemployment gap will never close meaningfully, until that statistic improves. It all begins and ends with that.
