to this demographic group (half of 13.3% of the population) for their critically important contribution as a group.

But moving from the old days of making sure that they didn't count to considering that they count more than everyone else is the flip side of an old, corroded coin. Could we really take away an equal number of black male or white votes and it wouldn't matter? Those didn't "propel" anything?

How about a headline saying that the demographic group most committed to fighting for equality is black women, half of 13.3% of the population, and the least is white men? Simple truth.

As are the facts that the vote, when it can be cast and excepting the presidency, is truly equal and race-and-creed-irrelevant, that all committed, reliable Democratic voters regardless of color and creed are our base, and that our wins are all the result of the totality of the votes of everyone in our grand, diverse coalition.
