I've heard that Police who don't feel supported Dems might not vote their way. Same principle at work, perhaps.
Anyway, with respect to the topics broached on this thread, I am wondering about the recent spate of protests against a video of police violence against black citizens, which has generated more videos of police violence against all kinds of people--will that affect proportions of the vote? Turn MORE blacks to Biden? I believe Trump only got 8% of the black vote last election. Not much left to drop there, but could it go down 7%? Might black police and their families who have traditionally voted Dem turn away, offsetting other decreases?
Your statement contributes to the idea that there’s a “right way” to be black. That type of thinking leads to people like Terry Crews being called a “coon” and an “Uncle Tom” because they don’t think the “right way”. Maybe that wasn’t your intention and I’m certainly willing to give you the benefit of the doubt given your explanation.
