    Wrong. That stat wasn’t specified in that article.

    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 moreconservative economic policies.

    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),


    So 95% of black women without a degree voted for Hillary and 91 %with a degree voted for Hillary.Amazing

    I think a more important question would be "How many black Americans do you know well enough to have a meaningful conversation about politics?"

    Let me state that the majority of blacks who are my age who I know as neighbors, friends, or co-workers in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina are all Democrats except for a couple. In my social/work/neighborhood circle all of these people are educated and upper-middle class.

    I will note one interesting point is that a number of their children diverge from their parents' political affiliation and align themselves as either Republican or non-affiliated - which I find rather odd but I think it is more a "be different than your parents type of thing" rather than some deep political metamorphosis.

    99% of the blacks I know vote Democrat (or I would wager, they vote Democrat)....
    98% of them are broke as a joke...

    One of my closest friends is an African (1st generation American) who runs a successful business. He's Conservative and votes Republican..

    Only insignificant if you don't understand statistics.
    While 15% of Blacks are upper middle class or higher, you will not find your 90% number there..
    It's less. Significantly enough less to warrant a discussion: WHY do blacks who make more money, and achieve higher levels of education, vote more with Conservatives than their poorer brethren?
