Ah. So slavery doesn't represent most of the abuse. That's just a footnote in the story of blacks. Let me guess, Trump did more to hurt blacks than slavery did? Please, keep talking about history.

Let's talk about the post civil war...Which side advocated for segregation? Which side advocates against school choice? Which side wants a Planned Parenthood on every single corner in black neighborhoods? Which side dismisses how crucial dads are in the life of kids? Which side refused to celebrate lowest black unemployment ever at the state of the union?

What's the GOP done to blacks that even comes close to all that? Trump, for all his flaws, got black unemployment to its lowest ever recorded, increased funding for black colleges, got companies to invest in economic opportunity zones in blighted urban areas, advocated for school choice, and pushed for criminal justice reform (which liberals have demanded for decades, which Obama could easily have delivered when the democrats controlled congress, but which took Trump to actually pull off).

Make any of that wrong.
