What I meant was that the black women who continue to support dims are apparently satisfied with the status quo of living on welfare.
The men apparently want to be able to actually support their families and want to have jobs and pride in what they do. They were willing to take a chance with Trump to change the welfare policies that took hold with LBJ’s so-called Great Society which drove the men from their homes - since they often had no jobs - and had to abandon their wives and children to be dependent on the government.
I still think you are being unfair to black women—despite their dreadful voting records. Along with overwhelmingly raising the next generation of black Americans themselves, black women have only a slightly lower workforce participation rate than black men: 62.5% to 68.4%. (For comparison, white women are at 57.5% to white men with 71.4%.)

Also, black women do far, far more as far as attending college than do black men: http://www.jbhe.com/news_views/51_gendergap_universities.html
Also, approximately a third of African American men in the country have been convicted of a felony. I haven’t come across ready stats for the women, but it is of course much lower.
So black women are relatively working and studying hard and staying out of legal trouble, compared to black men. I wish there were more Diamonds and Silks among them, but they are not the primary slackers, if there are any, among their race.
Well, you are entitled, of course, to your opinion.
I have lived and worked in the black ghetto of Seattle known as the CD for Central District and employed black men and women in my businesses.
No doubt you also have personal experience with the lives of ghetto blacks.
What profession? She sounds like she might be one of those to whom a Great American once referred:
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their jobs. - BOOKER T WASHINGTON
