    Doesn't matter..
    what is true is that the more money a Black Person makes..the more likely they will vote Republican...
    I WONDER WHY THAT IS????

    Maybe the Democrat party should be less concerned with racist whites and getting the votes of the poor downtrodden black folk...and they should be more concerned with actually LIFTING up the black population into the higher ranks of income and education.
    But they aren't.
    Blacks have been decimated by the Democrat party....

    I never said blacks made more than whites or that more blacks were upper middle class than whites.

    Actually 16% of Blacks generally voted Republican over the past two decades. However only 8% of Blacks voted for Trump. (Note these figures are for percentage of voters).

    "By contrast, more black Democratic voters continue to characterize their views as moderate than as liberal. This year, 40% of black Democrats call themselves moderate, 30% say they are conservative and 28% call themselves liberal. Among Hispanic Democratic voters, 36% describe their political views as moderate, 41% as liberal and 22% as conservative." - http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...reasingly-likely-to-call-their-views-liberal/

    From your source

    Exit polls suggest that in the past 12 presidential elections (so 1972 and every one since), the Republican candidate won only about 10 percent of the black vote, on average; the Democrat averaged 87 percent.

    black college graduates voted for Clinton at a smaller margin than black voters as a whole. Black women without college degrees were the most strongly in favor of Clinton, giving her 95% of their vote (compared to 91% for black women with a degree), while black men with a college degree gave only 78% of their votes to Clinton and 16% to Trump. This may be due to the fact that Democrats' positions often favor low-income populations, whereas educated African-Americans with a higher socioeconomic status may be more inclined to vote for more conservative economic policies.

    Btw,blacks are moderate and conservative in many ways but wont vote republican because of racism.Things like republicans support for the confederacy,most republicans supporting George Zimmerman,white supremacist support of the republican party,trying to end affirmative action,trying to stop them from voting etc.
