How would African-Americans vote if these were the candidates for each party?

[WalterWhite]

Republicans:
- Want to expand social welfare programs
- Open to reparations for descendants of slaves
- Supports BLM and police reform
- Is a civil rights activist/attorney
- Center-right on most other issues

Democrats:
- Want to cut welfare spending
- Completely opposed to reparations for descendants of slaves
- Opposes BLM and police reform
- Is a former member of the KKK
- Center-left on most other issues

African-Americans started supporting the Democrats because of the New Deal, and they have continued to support the Democrats because of the Democratic Party's support of social welfare programs and their egalitarian social policy. In theory, a Democrat who does not support these policies would do poorly amongst African-Americans.

However, partisanship in American politics is very high, and African-Americans overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Would this mean that African-Americans would vote Democratic even if the Democratic nominee were toxic for the African-American community on both economic and social issues?

Case in point, in the 1982 Alabama Senate Election, Democrat George Wallace, one of the most notorious racists in American history (the one who said "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"), won a huge majority of the African-American vote despite his racist political history.

This would never happen in today's political climate but in this hypothetical situation I'd say Dems would still get somewhere around 60% of the Black vote. People tend to underestimate the number of people who'd support someone with a "D" or "R" next to their name despite their ideology.  For example in 1978, Edward King who was a Conservative  Dem won over many strongly Dem areas in the Massachusetts despite clearly being to the right of his Republican opponent and many post-CRA segregationists did well with the black vote when they ran for re-election.
