19: Block the Vote

Cultural Stigma and the "Secret Society" of Black Republicans

Clips from "Black Folks Don't Vote Republican" illustrate the social and familial pressure within the black community to remain Democratic. Participants in the video describe black Republicans as "cray-cray" or part of a "secret society." Moe and Adam discuss how this cultural programming effectively maintains the voting block through social stigma rather than policy debate.
