You forgot money. The more black people are able to gain upward mobility the more those black people vote with their bank accounts. Within that group are a lot of “I did it so, these n****s on the streets are just lazy and hide behind racism.”

Being a republican is the ultimate way to distance yourself from “them” and they believe their money with protect them.

I live in Atlanta so there's plenty of black folks with plenty of money. No idea how common the Republican voters are in that crowd. The Cascade road Old POC money is the Democrat machine that runs the city.

Only a matter of time before being a token gets you spent.

Ask how that upward mobility worked out for Herschel Walker, Candace Owens, Herman Cain, Vivek Ramaswamy/Byron Donalds/Tim Scott's VP hopes. And that's just off the top of my head.
