More and more I see Democrats as taking advantage of Black people, using them for leverage and patronage, talking down to them, tokenizing them, patting them on the head and telling them, We know you’re not very smart, but don’t worry, we’ll take care of you. Wokeism only exacerbates the problem. Black voters are slowly slicing off from the Dems. I don’t see the Republican Party as a very viable option for them either, though. Meanwhile there’s a growing cadre of Black intellectuals who seem to be showing the way using brains, commonsense and critical thinking. Loury, McWhorter, Hughes, Foster, etc.
You forget Ibram X. Kendi, Michael Eric Dyson, Jamelle Bouie, Charles Blow, Ta-Nahisi Coates, and the rest of the crew. Each and every one of them better known, with greater reach, given more awards and kudos, and younger, stronger, and likely longer lived than Glenn Loury.
