Myth is that Trump has done more for black and other Americans. Trump often takes undeserved credit for a strong economy inherited from Obama. In the first year of new Presidents, previous President has a bigger impact. So Obama still deserves credit for gains in employment, stock market, GDP growth, lower poverty rate and household wealth.
According to US labor department, employers added 1,189,000 jobs from February to August. This fall short of 1,375,000 jobs created during Obama's last 7 months. This level of job creation has existed for years.
Another myth is that Obama has done nothing for blacks. According to factcheck, black unemployment rate is lower now than when Obama took office and the gap between races is below historical averages. For decades, unemployment rate of blacks has been double that of whites and that hasn't changed. Besides, growing income inequality is a worldwide trend in many countries.

Trump has always been racist for a long time. Decades ago, justice department sued Trump for racial discrimination which violated Fair housing act. Trump casino paid $200,000 fine for ordering black dealers off floor. He brought an ad demanding death penalty for latino teenagers accused of rape despite their later exoneration.
Trump promoted false conspiracy theory of Obama's birth. He smeared immigrants as violent criminals. Described Syrian refugees as snakes. Encouraged violence against minority protestors. Pledged to ban muslims from entering the United States. Proposed a database to track American muslims.
Accused an American born hispanic judge as being Mexican. Kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed. Retweeted anti-sematic messages. Mocked Japanese and Chinese trade negotiators. Started a commission to perpetuate the myth of rampant voter fraud. Declined to condemn white supremacists after violent rally in Charlottesville.
What African country was Obama born in, I forget?
