Does "better" mean "worse"?
Unemployment for blacks has dropped by 3.7 percentage points from Jan '09 to July '15. (13.4 to 9.7)
Unemployment for whites has dropped by 2.9 percentage points over the same period. (7.8 to 4.9)
So the unemployment numbers for blacks have improved more than for whites.
