Black men's votes courted as some search for political home
Trumpโs positions on race and Bidenโs decades-old controversial record on criminal justice make neither candidate particularly attractive to Black men. โYou donโt lie, you acknowledge the truth, and admit that the choices before Black people in the year 2020 are abysmal,โ said Agnew, an organizer with Black Men Build, a group created to empower Black men. Iraq War veteran Leo Dunson is a 35-year-old Black conservative activist and former Democrat who feels both parties have forgotten Black men. And 39% of those votes were by Black men โ a similar gender breakdown to numbers reported in the 2016 general election. Harrisโs tenure as a top prosecutor in California includes the disproportionate incarceration of Black men for drug offenses.
