see, I think it's cool that you're old enough to ask questions, but usually when someone mentions the words "fact" or "facts" in a context such as this, it means they had better have supporting evidence; especially when it's a self quoting fool such as yourself.
Now, why don't you be a good little democrat and get me that supporting evidence?

No need to be dialed into the black experience. You just need basic familiarity with socioeconomics in the US.
First, the black poverty rate. You can find that here:
https://www2.census.gov/programs-sur...le/hstpov2.xls
As you can see, since black poverty rates began being tracked every year, in 1966, here's the change in the poverty rate by Democratic presidential era:
-7.1 in 2 years for Johnson
+1.4 in 4 years for Carter
-10.9 in 8 years for Clinton
-2.8 in 8 years for Obama
For the Republicans:
-3.6 in 8 years for Nixon/Ford
+0.9 in 12 years for Reagan/Bush
+2.1 in 8 years for Bush
So, that's -19.4 in 22 years for the Democrats and -0.6 in 28 years for the Republicans. That works out to a rate of improvement under Democrats a little over 40 times the rate of improvement under Republicans. Now you know I was right when I said "the black poverty rate tends to fall much more quickly, on average, when a Democrat is president than when a Republican is."
As for NAEP scores, you'll need to use the engine yourself, since they have a tool for making your own tables, rather than having static tables to link to. Here it is.
https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/ndecore/landing
We could do different tables for different grades and subjects, but just to take one, select "reading" and "grade 8" and click on it. Now select "all states" and set the variable to "race/ethnicity" and click "Create Report." That will show you the average score for black eighth graders for reading in nearly every state (a few didn't meet the reporting criteria and were left out in 2017). Click "show report data" and you can see it. Here they are, listed by Trump states and then Clinton states:
Georgia 255
Indiana 255
Arizona 254
Florida 254
North Dakota 252
Missouri 250
Pennsylvania 250
North Carolina 248
Oklahoma 247
Texas 247
Alaska 246
Kansas 246
Kentucky 246
Michigan 245
Nebraska 245
West Virginia 245
Ohio 244
Iowa 243
Tennessee 243
Louisiana 242
Mississippi 242
Alabama 241
Arkansas 241
South Carolina 241
Wisconsin 239
Massachusetts 258
New Jersey 257
Washington 255
Maryland 251
New York 251
Virginia 251
California 250
Colorado 250
Connecticut 249
Delaware 248
Rhode Island 248
Illinois 246
Nevada 246
Minnesota 245
Maine 235
If you do the math, you'll see the average score for the Trump states was 246.44, while the average for Clinton states was 249.33. You can run similar reports for different grade levels and different subjects, but you'll see the same trend: Clinton states have better-scoring black students. You could also cluster those states in different ways, to represent other proxies for how liberal or conservative they are, but with any reasonable method that shows relative Democratic or Republican dominance in recent decades, you'll find blacks tend to do better, academically, where Democrats tend to be stronger.
