Yes, black voters really aren't progressive. Only 29 per cent of black Democrats describe their political views as liberal, compared with 55 per cent of white Democrats. The progressive/moderate divide breaks along educational lines, and 24 per cent of black Democrats have college degrees vs 42 per cent of white Democrats.
Black Democrats are far more religious than white Democrats, with 55 per cent saying it's necessary to believe in God to be moral, compared with 11 per cent of white Democrats who hold that belief. Three-quarters of black American women and two-thirds of black American men pray daily.
