The incarceration rate was tied to the crime rate and Clinton did nothing but reduce the crime rate during his presidency. And that helped the black community (and everyone) tremendously
You overestimate the power of the president if you think Clinton was the reason crime went down (as is anyone who blames the president for the bad things that happen, too).
