That's not even the full story. In addition to the significant number of Black voters who switched their votes from Democrat to Republican candidates, overall Black turnout in 2022 was at its lowest level since 2006, indicating that large numbers of Black voters sat the last election out because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for either party.
That doesn't surprise me. I've seen firsthand how Democrats have neglected the needs and interests of the Black community. For decades, they've proclaimed themselves to be champions of the Black community while implementing policies that perpetuate the cycle of poverty, deny us the opportunities we need to succeed, and leave our neighborhoods at the mercy of criminals.
The solution to economic inequality, for instance, cannot possibly be more government handouts. We know this because that approach has been tried over and over, at the state, local, and federal levels, and we haven't made any real progress toward solving the problem.
