Adele, the black folks are voting for one of their own, just as whites have always done and still do. They have been the most loyal constituency in the Democratic Party for decades, followed closely by women, and this is finally their chance. Of course they are trying to grab it with both hands.
The main difference with black voters is that they have voted for white candidates for a long time. Every previous presidential election in the country’s history had only two white men running. The white folks haven’t gotten comfortable with voting for a black candidate and a significant number of them may not get there.
