There has been A LOT of talk about Black men re Democratic support. I think the convo has gotten kind of out of wack. Black men still support Democrats at rates of ~80%+, which is far higher than every American demographic except Black women. This is not an anti-Dem group!
Now we hear a disproportionate amount about Black men who are conservative or Republican but this is NOT the norm of the demo. Not even close. 80%-85% of Black men will vote for Biden. The Trump curious Black men demo is very small, but you hear about it constantly.
Are there more Black men who are conservative/GOP leaning than Black women? Yeah no question. Is the Black Republican group very small? Yes. We’re talking 10-15% of Black men tops. Check any other racial/ethnic group’s men, their GOP % is multitudes higher. Like many times X
Is it an interesting phenomenon? Yeah, but don’t lose the sense of proportion or scale. That is super important. Black women BY FAR lead on Dem support. But Black men are the next demo in terms of Dem strength and its not really close. Its not like 40, 50, 60% of BM are GOP
