Among black Americans, however, social conservatism is more pronounced. Research highlighted by professors Sherri Wallace and Angela Lewis in the paper “Compassionate Conservatism and African Americans” shows that though black voters routinely support the Democratic Party, black Americans identify with conservatives on a wide range of social issues. The Pew Research Center found that black Americans are the most religious race or ethnicity in the nation, whether the measure is church attendance, frequency of prayer or reliance on religion in daily life. Black Americans are the least accepting of changes to the traditional family structure—there’s a reason President Barack Obama’s and both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s views on gay marriage took so long to evolve. Black parents have the most socially conservative views about premarital sex and abstinence (pdf). Even the prevalence of homeschooling, a sacred cow of the socially conservative crowd, doubled (pdf) among black families between 2007 and 2011.
