The black voter turnout rate declined for the first time in 20 years in a presidential election, falling to 59.6% in 2016 after reaching a record-high 66.6% in 2012.
The obvious moral of this tale is that the Democratic Party has become so dependent on the African-American vote that it cannot hope to win a national election without generating a level of enthusiasm in that community comparable to that which former President Obama enjoyed.
When over 90% of a community is voting for one political party, they become irrelevant.
Our voting predictability made it so that neither side needed to make good on promises to our community.
Between 1870 and 1932, African Americans voted almost exclusively for Republicans because the GOP presided over their manumission, the first civil rights laws, and the very Amendment to the Constitution that granted them the right to vote.
The Republicans made the same mistake that the Democrats are making now - taking their vote for granted.
Democrats who believe that they have a permanent hold on the African-American vote should take a look at how these voters view their position on immigration.
