In my latest for @ForeignPolicy, I argue that how we currently understand and discuss race in the U.S. erases important nuances within groups, leading to serious miscalculations and oversights in political strategy.

I completely agree. The days of flat-Blackness are long gone. I hope when Barack was cajoling Black men into voting for Kamala he was talking to Black immigrant men as well

Fascinating finding. More specificity is needed when we talk about "Black" voters.
A higher share of foreign-born Black American men voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election compared to U.S.-born and second-generation Black American men, finds @RyonCobb.

Amid recent discussions around VP Harris' efforts to engage parts of the Black electorate, I'm resharing this piece I wrote for @ForeignPolicy a few months ago. I argue that policy makers would do well to speak to the Black community's longstanding anti-war sensibilities.

1/My latest @CarnegieEndow piece based on findings from an August 2024 survey with @YouGov is out now. While Americans views toward foreign policy challenges are largely mediated by political affiliation, there are political disagreements along racial lines within each party.

In @ForeignPolicy , I reflect on the @NAACP 's recent commentary on Biden's Gaza policy and the opportunities this presents for fostering dialogue among Democratic leaders, progressives, and the anti-war elements of the African American community.

Thanks for having me on your podcast once again @terrelljstarr. Always a pleasure to discuss my research and the complex interplay of race and foreign policy.
NEW: I spoke with @ChrisShell95 about his work on Black folks’ foreign policy views, Gaza and the Black church and what Black folks REALLY think about Ukraine.

In my latest piece with @WPReview, I argue that serious engagement with the effort to address the ills of slavery and the colonial period might create a foundation for diplomatic trust between the West and countries of the Global South.

In @TheNatlInterest I argue that thoughtful engagement with Black American thinking on overseas military engagement offers a chance to build a more disciplined foreign policy attuned to the aspirations of the American people.

This morning I spoke with @CNN's Victor Blackwell about the Black community’s attitudes toward the Israel-Gaza war, and how President Biden’s handling of the conflict could potentially impact his bid for reelection.

In @ForeignPolicy, I argue that Biden's Middle East policy - which has resulted in the death of 28,000 people, 150 strikes on US troops, and the death of 3 Black servicemembers - appears to be hurting his credibility among Black voters.

Check out my latest piece with the @CarnegieEndow. Black Americans vote primarily on economic and racial issues, however, they want elected officials that have a common-sense approach to U.S. foreign policy.

It was a pleasure appearing on the @UnDiplomaticPod where I spoke about a range of topics such as Black Americans' views on Ukraine/Taiwan, thoughts about the US's role in the world, and trends in Black voting.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the US's invasion of #Iraq, I set out to understand how Black Americans feel about the two longest post-9/11 wars.

A new report from the @ChicagoCouncil found that Black Americans are "less likely than other Americans to back an open-ended support of Kyiv "for as long as it takes.""

Interesting stuff, indeed. Other surveys have asked the same question and reveal that the majority of Americans prefer the US take an "active part."

What is the African American perspective on the possible use of military force in Ukraine and Taiwan?
My piece with @CarnegieEndow answers that question.
