'“We're getting into generations of young Black voters that are not just once removed, but maybe twice or three times removed from a civil rights generation,” Towler said. “The way that they form their identity is less likely to be directly attached to the civil rights struggle...they're less likely to be suspicious of political institutions and they're more likely to support Trump and the Republicans.”'

@dynamic Unmentioned in the article is that the Obama administration oversaw the largest reduction in Black household wealth ever, while protecting the perpetrators and ensuring they got to keep their ill-gotten gains. Given recent history, I don't think the Dems should be surprised that they're losing people who they always assumed they could safely ignore as fully captured voters. The prob is w/ the Dems, not with Black voters.

Disengagement with Democrats is one thing. Support for Republicans is another.
