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.
