A few thoughts:

1) It's important to distinguish between old-school African-Americans, and recent diasporan communities from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. The latter group is younger, more closely resembles Asian-Americans socioeconomically (in both the "model minority" and "refugee" senses) and therefore may be receptive to the GOP in ways that the Michelle Robinsons and Cleveland Browns of America might not be.

2) One-drop rule. This could be a case of biracial people being more acculturated by their white relatives, but still identifying as black. @HillGoose knows what I'm talking about.

Let's just ignore what the GOP and even some Dems have done to a large segment of the black male population, and how we would expect those maligned to vote if given the opportunity.

There's not any meaningful trends toward the Republican Party at any level of the black community. The young male vote is skewed by incarceration rates and the number of voters serving in the military.

I can still see black Americans trending R overall in a less racially polarized future. They won't vote Dem by 70-80 point margins forever.
