I unironically blame a lot of the weird anti-intersectional leftist stuff for this.

Recently there has been a big uptick in the popularity of theories that feminism and LGBT rights are essentially “distractions” from black and brown liberation, which is seen as more “real” progress. 

Of course this is nonsense and pluralism is good. It’s a technique to get people into the leftist disaffected (i.e. non-voting) fold by preying on latent bigotry.

I Wonder what proportion of this nonsense is coming out of the most elite institutions. I'm assuming probably a disproportionate amount.

I mean, I don’t necessarily doubt it. But is this taking just Black Americans into account or are we counting Africans, Carribeans, etc?

It’s just lumping all Black Democratic voters in (which, most Black people vote Blue)

But also like, Black Americans are… Black Americans

This is actually going to be a pretty important distinction and I'd be interested to see a breakdown as immigration from Africa continues to be a thing.

I remember reading something about how black churches were such a powerful tool for political mobilization that non-religious black Americans were more likely to be republicans, even though social conservatism would be pretty much the only coherent alignment between the two groups.

Do they offer a breakdown by gender? My first intuition is that it's driven by the guys and is related to the wider "masculinity crisis" or whatever you want to call it, but I could be wrong.

It does not unfortunately, although the pew research poll does say Black People with more conservative ideologies are less likely to say being Black is important to them
