Black Protestants are turning away from the Democratic Party
VERBATIM: According to data analyzed by Eastern Illinois University Professor Ryan Burge, 60% of African-American Protestants strongly supported the party in 2008. Today only 49% do. Burge says Democrats are losing Black Protestants in part because the party has embraced the LGBT agenda and other causes that run contrary to black voters’ religious beliefs.
