The party assumed blacks had little choice but to support Dukakis since the only alternative would be to defect and vote Republican—an option ostensibly more unattractive than an inattentive Dukakis campaign.

In his seminal book Behind the Mule: Race and Class in African-American Politics, Dawson argues that because race has been the predominant factor in blacks’ American experience, “it was much more efficient for them to use the status of the group, both relative and absolute, as a proxy for individual utility.” In more practical terms, black voters prioritize the well-being of the group over their individual in- terests, and consider what’s best for the group as a whole because history has shown them that “we are in this thing together.” The cohesiveness of young African Americans remains strong, and is the genesis of the increasing social-protest activity in response to issues like the Confederate battle flag in South Carolina and aggressive policing of black peo- ple nationwide.

In 1988, the late Ed Brown, then-ex-ecutive director of the Voter EducationProject, watched as the DemocraticParty ignored blacks’ growing dis-pleasure with Massachusetts Gover-nor and Democratic presidentialnominee Michael Dukakis. The party assumed blacks had little choice but to support

Dukakis since the only alternative would be to defect andvote Republican—an option ostensibly more unattractivethan an inattentive Dukakis campaign. The party waswrong: Black voter turnout rate plummeted by nearly 5 per-cent, the second largest decline for this bloc ever observed.In the lead up to the 1992 presidential election, Brown

admonished an overconfident Democratic Party for againtaking the black vote for granted. Lest its short memory fuelundue overconfidence, he famously reminded the party,“The view is that blacks have nowhere else to go, butblacks always have somewhere to go—they can go fish-ing.”And the intervening years have largely borne him out.

to be nothing more than an interesting exercise in impractical punditry.The allegiance typically occurs despite the demonstrable fact thatblacks hold a variety of policy views and are not entirely aligned to theDemocratic Party’s platform—a reality best seen in direct-democracyreferendums from California to North Carolina where blacks have beensplit, particularly on social issues.Linked fate, in a political context, suggests that black voters approach

elections with one simple question: Which candidate is better for theAfrican American population? The analysis begins at the most funda-mental level by ascertaining which party or candidate is most likely toprotect civil rights and support equal access to economic opportunityfor blacks. Everything else is secondary. For example, a politician’s stance on renewable energy, free market

economics, abortion, immigration, national debt, and role of the militaryin regional conflicts all pale in comparison to basic considerations of lib-erty.African Americans may ask themselves: Can we vote? Can we work?

Can we prosper? Can we live? With game-changing statutes like theCivil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 being signed intolaw by a Democratic president and routinely the target of Republicanopposition, the Democratic candidate immediately emerges as the pre-ferred candidate. A recent study also shows that when the candidate is black, the ef-

fects of descriptive representation raises the level of black voter partic-ipation and support even higher—an occurrence confirmed by historicalblack turnout rates in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.A competing view of linked fate is that black voters are not loyal to

the party, but to each other at a deeper level than other races and eth-nicities. A centuries-long history grounded in the shared experience of racial

subjugation and discrimination produced a common bond amongAfrican Americans that leads them to view the world through the sameprism. No matter how respectable and educated an African American was

in the early 20th century, he or she was unlikely to be granted civil-rightsprotections until they were guaranteed for the whole race. The remnantsof such views are still seen today, most prominently evinced in the BlackLives Matter movement. In short, there is no personal liberty withoutgroup liberty.The uniform support of the Democratic Party may begin to erode in

the post-Obama era. New research suggests that the political utility oflinked fate has waned. Two recent papers—one from Harvard University and another from

Harvard professor Jennifer Hochschild and Yale professor VeslaWeaver—argue that the impact of the linked-fate framework, now over20 years old, on political views and participation has effectively beenovercome by the influence of economic class on policy preferences.The original conception of linked fate was crafted based on the be-

havior of black voters who lived through the Civil Rights Movement orwere born shortly thereafter. There was more uniformity in the African American experience for the

civil-rights era generations. But since then, three new generations of blacks have entered the

electorate with a wider range of lived experiences and views than thoseof their parents and grandparents. Hochschild and Weaver found that income inequality among blacks

today is higher than all other racial and ethnic groups, and that blackswith better economic well-being are much less likely to be victims of vi-olent crime than those who are poor. This produces tangible stratifications in the African American experi-

ence that has ramifications in black political behavior. The authors alsocontend linked fate has taken on a form of social, not political, solidar-ity—and this may be welcome news to Republicans.While data shows that in 2012, black turnout increased overall, so did

black support for the Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov-ernor Mitt Romney. Black voters over 45 drove the increased turnoutsince youth turnout decreased—additional evidence of an emerging lineof demarcation between generations and their actualization of linkedfate. Further, in 2012, for the first time since 1980, a decrease in registered

black Independents resulted in an increase in blacks identifying as Re-publican. The relationship between black voters and the DemocraticParty therefore is primed for disruption, and a Republican candidatewith the right message may begin it in earnest, provided he or she un-derstands the intricacies of this latest evolution of linked fate.The late civil-rights icon Julian Bond once said, “I’m old enough to re-

member when the political parties competed for the votes of AfricanAmericans.” For a number of reasons, those days were long gone. But they are

due for a resurgence. A younger, diverse, more politically active blackelectorate is uninterested in having its voice muted by a blind adherenceto a partisan loyalty established before its birth. It realizes that the bestthing that can happen for African Americans politically is for politiciansto actively court the black vote.Whereas linked fate in the latter part of the 20th century meant polit-

ical solidarity with the Democratic Party, the 21st-century iteration re-quires political competition to prioritize black America’s concerns. And much like those young people who marched to obtain passage

of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, this new segment of the elec-torate will not simply bow out and go fishing—instead, they are willingto go to the mat.
