The question is whether AAs should trust Hillary and what we can learn from the Clinton's history.
The charts that you've presented do seem to indicate that the Bill Clinton years were a time of improving economic circumstances for black people in America. (Of course those years were an economic boon to just about everyone)
However, others here have pointed to policies that disproportionately locked black people in prison (among other problems). That's certainly a serious matter and not something to skirt around with talk about changing the subject.
Beyond that, Hillary's recent history and current ties indicate that she'll only help the rich. Presumably, that includes rich African Americans...but the rest of us (any color) will not benefit.
