Donald Trump's track record of prejudice is so prodigious that keeping all of the incidents straight is difficult.

Bob Greene : No serious person expects Trump to win anything close to a majority of Black voters in this year ’s election.

Greene: Trump has increased his support among African Americans since he was elected to the presidency in 2016 .

He says polls show Trump substantially growing his share of those voters, particularly young Black men.

Many Black voters are quite conservative, especially culturally, and may hold views on issues like abortion and gender that are more at home in the Republican Party .

David Gergen : Democrats have been bleeding male Black voters for nearly two decades .

Democrats seem unwilling to believe that a small but significant portion of Black voters might be willing to overlook Trump ’s racism, Gergen says.

Experts agree that Democrats tend to take Black voters for granted, and that the Harris campaign should have started doing targeted outreach to Black voters much sooner.

Black voters are perhaps the most culturally conservative wing of the Democratic coalition, but tend to be among the most progressive on economic issues.
