Over the decades, as more blacks entered the middle class, the old division between the mass of blacks and the "Talented tenth" of educated professional blacks has narrowed considerably, but not disappeared.
Donald Trump's economic policies, which have lowered black unemployment to historically low levels, and raised black workforce participation and wages, are discrediting the old Democrat racialist appeals for the black vote.
Coming after the two terms of the country's first black president who did little to improve the lot of ordinary blacks, Trump's improvement of their lives is likely to peel off black support from the Democrats.
The progressive secularist media play down this fact, but it represents a dividing line within the black community that separates black public intellectuals, pundits, and newscasters from many ordinary blacks.
The same division exists among many Latinos, in part a consequence of faith, but also a reflection of the culture of machismo evident among southern Mediterranean cultures as well as among blacks.
Then there are the conflicts between the various ethnicities comprising the "Rainbow coalition." Another that the progressive media ignore is the division between blacks and Latinos, a divide obvious in every American penitentiary, or in regions like the San Joaquin Valley, where we had been living with real diversity and its conflicts decades before "Diversity" was invented by Justice Lewis Powell in the 1979 Bakke decision.
A graphic indication of Mexican dislike of blacks can be found in the Spanish dehumanizing slur for blacks, miate, which is also the word for a black beetle.
