    Anyone want to make some animated gifs you'll probably get famous off of? I don't have the time at all, but the more I hear Trump and Republicans claim that "black unemployment is at the lowest it's ever been" or that the economy is at the highest it's been, I wonder... do they even consider acknowledging the eight years that precede whatever change has occurred under Trump's administration?

    Case in point: black unemployment since 2010:

    Someone needs to make a nice animated gif, maybe a better looking chart, that shows the following:

    - First screen: chart showing change since Trump took office, with the heading "You don't get this..." that only shows the recent change, with a label "black unemployment under Trump"

    - Second screen: chart showing the full reduction since 2010, highlighting the Obama admin years, with the heading "...without this", with the label "black unemployment under Obama."

    - Third screen: text that reads "Thanks Obama!"

    You get the idea. Some of you have far better gif and visual design chops, I'd love to see this made and I don't doubt that if you shared it the right way you'd see fame. Who's up for it?
