Maybe The Polls Of African Americans Have Been Accurate
Every time independent journalist Michael Tracey has shared polls showing Biden losing black support, such as the one below last week, he's received a lot of skeptical comments.
A new Siena poll says Biden has only an 8 point lead over Trump in New York. In a June 2020 poll, Siena said Biden had a 25 point lead. Biden ultimately won New York by 23 points. Trump has nearly *quintupled* his share of Black voters in New York -- 2020: 6%, 2024: 29% pic.twitter.com/deGt1oaJBr

Maybe the polls have been accurate after all. To be clear, everyone still expects Biden to win the vast majority of black votes, but even a relatively small drop in the votes of the Democrats' most loyal demographic could be enough to sink Biden in November (assuming he's not saved by 4am ballot mail-in ballot dumps again).
Judging by the posts by black accounts on X on Thursday night (a sample of which appears below) Biden's disastrous debate performance may have cost him even more black votes.
Black X Users React To Biden's Debate Performance
The bulk of the black posts on X highlighted Biden's apparent senility and frailty, often in humorous ways:

One compared Biden to the Hector Salamanca character from the show Breaking Bad, who is only able to communicate by tapping a bell.

Another compared Biden to a rusty robot, or perhaps the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.

Another user suggested Biden was near death by saying he was close to meeting the late basketball great Kobe Bryant.
This nigga Joe Biden is one McDonald’s sprite away from meeting with Kobe

Another compared him to an underpowered, 28-year-old car.
Biden wanna roast this nigga so bad but them neurons backfiring like a 96 Sentra.

Another metaphor for Biden's cognitive decline:
This nigga Biden’s brain falling off the bone bro 😭😭😭

The Urban Dictionary defines "Zooted" as "Deliriously high".

Finally, the reluctant black vote for Biden appeared as well, illustrating why he'll still win perhaps 85% or more of the black vote.
I’m not the biggest fan of Biden but ya’ll have to understand we cannot let that fucktard trump into the office again. Please fucking consider this in your vote we are EXTREMELY fucked if ya’ll let that orange nigga back in there

It may not be enough for him though.
