After the shocking results of the 2016 election, most analysts focused on the shift among working-class whites towards Donald Trump. However, there was another seismic transformation on election day that may have longer repercussions: young black men are leaving the Democratic Party like never before.
Exit polls of the nationwide House races showed two important numbers, black men and millennials voted for the GOP in numbers that hadn’t been seen in decades. According to CNN exit polls, 18 percent voted of black men for a Republican candidate for the U.S. House, which is more than three times the number of African American women. Meanwhile, only five percent voted for the GOP.
This is about a 40 percent increase from NBC’s exit polls in 2012 and CNN’s in 2014 when only 13 percent of black men voted Republican. Black women showed no change whatsoever. Only five percent voted for GOP candidates. Young African Americans also had a slow swing towards Republican House candidates. In 2012, only nine percent voted for the GOP. That number increased to 11 percent in 2014, and finally 15 percent in 2016.
In 2016, Black men voted Republican at nearly twice the rate of all African Americans, 18 percent to 10 percent respectively. If those percentages remained the same among all ages, it’s possible that about one-in-four young black men also cast their ballot for the GOP. Younger black men supported Trump at a higher rate in most 2016 polls.
While there’s no data or polling to confirm the exact number, exit polls over the years show there’s a clear sign that black millennial men are looking past the Democratic Party to provide them opportunities into the future.
Coinciding with the movement in House exit polls was a result that some majority black districts also saw a shift away from Democrats in 2012. Republican candidates increased their percentage of the vote in Michigan’s 13th and 14th district, Florida’s 20th district, Maryland’s 4th district, Georgia’s 2nd district, North Carolina’s 1st district, New Jersey’s 10th district, New York’s 5th district, and Missouri’s 1st district.
Winning 25 percent of young black men would be a gigantic win for Republicans, given that the African-American vote is a base of the Democratic Party.

PRACTICE.
HOORAY!!! GRRRRRREAT news. (should be 100% of all men)
WAKE UP, men.
That means the numbers are higher still once you get out of Philly, NYC and Chicago.
And as black people start to figure out that the Democrats are not going to provide benefit to loyal black voters, some of them might figure out that voting for Republicans might be a better deal for black people, or at least not being 100% Democrat. When that happens, the Dems will be hard pressed to win another election, unless they can get illegal aliens to vote in elections.
Not surprising. The welfare system gives poor mothers money and throws poor fathers in prison for not paying it back.
I guess they figure what the hell do they have to lose?
Imagine that.
Black men want jobs just like white men.
Maybe that’s they’re all just men.
Most black men want a decent paying job. That’s their #1 priority and hey often live in locations with no good jobs available.
Upon hearing THIS, BO’B will command an additional 20 lashes upon his subjects. It fails to fit in his narrative.
Why does the link say real clear politics, but take us to red alert politics?
Looks like some of the fencing is down on the Democrat plantation and the smarter ‘slaves’ are giving that whole ‘freedom’ thing a chance. Guess they were listening to Trump when he asked them, “What do you have to lose?”
BOOM!
Black millenials of any intelligence have no barriers to obtaining a decent education, and many of them are in fact educated. The black millenials are probably much better educated than any previous generation. So it turns out that at least 25% are not only educated, but smart, too.
It’s getting more difficult to baffle them with the usual liberal BS; they see what they see and have drawn their own conclusions from it.
Phase two will be Dr. Carson, HUD, targeted urban development, and charter schools. When Obama leaves office, black men can look around and ask themselves what eight years of Obama brought them. The answer for most will be “not much”. At the end of this Trump administration, the answer will be, “my job”, or “a business located in my neighborhood”, or “my kids new school”.
Huh?? This makes absolutely no sense.
This is awesome news. If we could get more of them to join us, we could really get a lot done to improve things for poor people.
Can Englishing (and editoring, and composting) much goodly.
