The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

An interesting perspective on the reason more black males than black females may vote for Trump.

" When Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress, announced her intent to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972, she faced pushback from Black male colleagues who felt she should have sought their approval. “Black male politicians are no different from white male politicians,” Ms. Chisholm said at the time. “This ‘woman thing’ is so deep.”

"A small but significant slice of Black men have historically been hesitant to support Black women seeking the highest positions of power. The numbers are on the margins but could be crucial to carrying Ms. Harris to victory in November.

Dr. Moya Bailey, a Northwestern University professor who coined the term “misogynoir” to describe racist misogyny, said in an interview that while patriarchy is not unique to the Black population, “the consequences are much higher.” Scholars note that a demographic group that is conservative on many social issues has historically equated leadership with masculinity, borne out in the dearth of Black female leaders in the church, business and elected office.
