Is it really "political organization" if we literally always vote the same way even if it bites us in the ass each and every time? Is that real control or is that just the illusion of control? Why is it that whenever a Black person who wants to course correct comes along they get got?
As others have brought up before, Black people voting anything other than democrat is seen as anathema.
I think you underestimate what black Americans are able to do when it comes to organizing politically based solely on their race.
Just because the majority of black people are voting for democrat, they still have a choice.
Black Americans organize politically based on race nationally, with the Congressional Black Caucus, but they also get to do it on the state and local level too. Did you know that? Take for example, the Black Republican Caucus of Florida:
Say what you want about it, but I would say that this is about as much control as a group can get. Again, you can't touch the taboo topics so whether that's "real control" or not is debatable, but it's a hell of a lot more than what white Americans of European descent are allowed to do.

What do you mean by the bolded comment, Fortis? Are you talking about a black person "getting got" for correcting the course against the taboo topics, or are you talking about a black person "getting got" for correcting course by switching to the conservative or Republican party? If it's the former, that goes for every race not just black people.
If it's the latter, I respectfully have to disagree. Republicans are bending over backwards to get black people to vote for them, so much so where it's almost a cuck fetish at this point.
Trump can't go a day without talking about "black unemployment" and get a 95% white crowd to cheer their hearts out when he talks about it, despite him never uttering the words "white unemployment". Do you think you can get a crowd of 95% black people to cheer their hearts out for a politician talking about "white unemployment"?
Republicans have their campaign organizers make signs such as "Latinos for Trump" or "Blacks for Trump" or "Asians for Trump". No "Whites for Trump" signs are made, but the 95% white Trump crowds will certainly cheer their hearts out when a Republican politician talks about "Blacks for Trump".
Go to a campaign rally for any Republican as a black person and chances are you'll get a front row seat, especially if there are cameras around.
What black person who has tried to correct the course (again, excluding taboo topics) has had something negative happen to them in retaliation for correcting the course by the Republican party? By the Democrats, sure, to a small extent. But by the Republicans?
And even the black people who "get got" by Democrats, have any of them lost their jobs, lost access to banking services, banned from traveling and ostracized from society and most future employment by "correcting the course"? I don't think so, but I can guarantee if a group of white people spoke about the most PC and non-taboo political topics that you can think of, such as maybe tax rates, and started making signs that read
"Whites For X Political Candidate", while talking publicly in front of audiences about how tax issues are affecting
"The white community", I guarantee you it would get shut down so fast it would make your head spin.
And those whites that organized would lose their jobs, access to banking and find future employment and housing options very very limited moving forward since they would be branded as "White Nationalists" or "White Supremacists" for having the audacity to organize based on their race and holding up "Whites For X Political Candidate" signs while talking about something mundane like taxes.
For as little of control as you think the black community has in regards to how they can organize politically on the racial level, please understand that in 2020 your racial group and every other non-white racial group has the ability to politically organize based on your race on a level that is 10 times greater than anything white people are able to do. Leaps and bounds greater.
