A lot of white people here talking about what party best represents the needs of black people. As though you have a fundamental clue what's going on with black people.
There are a lot of things about and within the so-called "community" of black people that you don't have a clue about.
Black people in America have had a strong traditional social culture, mostly Christian. The biggest non-Christian impact over the last 50 years has been feminism, which has had a larger impact on black families than it has had until now on white families.
The biggest problem with Democrats right now--and you will see it expressed more in black men and black women--is that the Democratic Party has become strongly anti-male. That's pretty much why the only male they tolerate as a "leader" is a doddering old fool who will do what he's told...or any other male who is willing to do what he's told, rather than express any level of masculinity. Black men have noted that the Democratic Party is anti-male and are pushing back. If you don't specifically look for it, you won't see it, because the liberal press certainly isn't going to talk about it, and the right-wing press hasn't picked up on it yet.
That's not to say that black men are then going to flock to the Republican Party, because we don't necessarily see politics as a binary process.
Black people learned back in the bad old Jim Crow days to watch what a politician does, not just listen to what he says. So, down in the Jim Crow south every politician was a Democrat, but some were segregationist and a few were not...we knew which was which.
We're still watching what Democrats are doing, and right now the anti-male feminists (both Radical Feminists and Liberal Feminists) have a stranglehold on the party. It's causing a rift between the sexes, because most black women are firmly tied to the Democratic Party for that reason.

But black men are not binary about politics.
Ice Cube talks about the toxic masculinity label in the interview with Tucker.
He also says he is an independent and not a part of either political party. He seems very open minded and thoughtful. Not partisan.

It's been a bit since I watched the interview, but didn't he also say the reason he goes on more right or independent leaning shows is that there are leftist ones that won't have him on?
Ice Cube is only one black rapper, he's not even in the top ten, he's a has been. The biggest black rapper isn't a right winger.
He may no longer be making music and today live the life of a multi-millionaire. But I suspect his street cred as a former member of the influential rap group NWA and his solo career still carries weight in the Black community. Ice T. maybe no but Cube? He starts publicly bashing Dem policies and that can turn into a problem.
I don't know if, or why, Black rappers are aligning themselves with the right.
I've read that Black men are increasingly voting Republican, but Black women are not...likely due to the abortion issue.
The Black community is harmed by; defunding police, trapping kids in failed inner-city schools, & by a wide open Southern border...all Democrat policies.
Blacks see that Trump got sentencing & prison reform passed, after Obama failed.
Blacks also saw how Trump supported traditional black colleges, more than Obama did.
Blacks saw how Trump increased employment rates & wages for Blacks...Obama never did that.
Blacks are tuning in & paying attention to the Right more than ever. They're tired of being taking for granted by the Left...like when Biden said "if you don't support me, you ain't black".
Blacks make up 13% of the US population. The number who actually vote is probably much lower. Forget them. Go after the Mexicans, if you want votes.
Black male voter turnout has been improving, & the Pubs need every vote they can get. I don't want the Pubs to forget anyone...especially blacks when they just recently started having some success with black males.
I say the Pubs need to go hard after EVERY vote they can get from EVERY demographic. But not by pandering to them, but by doing what's right for America as a whole....like strict border control, school choice, & supporting law enforcement.
