It DID help black Americans, only not nearly as much as it helped white American workers. Blacks benefited as much as whites from things like the minimum wage legislation and the prohibition of child labor. But for instance the Unions' refusal to accept blacks as members meant that many improvements and benefits for Union members passed them by.

On another level, the New Deal did not attempt to end segregation or create equal rights for blacks and whites. But president Roosevelt DID appoint an unprecedented number of black Americans in high-level administration posts and actively supported the creation of black political organizations, which later on assured a long-lasting political support for the Democrats within the Black American community.
