Does it Matter if You’re Black or White? Understanding the Limits of Descriptive Representation
Existing research on descriptive representation maintains that political candidates often receive more political support from in-group voters than their out-group competitors. Scholars claim this is due in large part to the assumption that descriptive candidates have a greater inclination to act in ways that benefit their shared identity group. This paper explores the other side of these heightened expectations and asks—How do voters evaluate a d…
We Are One: The Social Maintenance of Black Democratic Party Loyalty
Despite growing ideological diversity within the group, black Americans have maintained their overwhelmingly unified support for the Democratic Party. We argue that black Democratic partisanship is upheld, in part, through black Americans' use of social sanctions (both positive and negative) to encourage compliance with a group norm of Democratic Party support. Leveraging the exogenous assignment of racial social context provided by the race of a…
Missing the mark? An exploration of targeted campaign advertising's effect on Black political engagement
Extant scholarship on campaign advertising focuses on the effectiveness of microtargeting for Latinxs, women, and religious groups, spending little time on the efficacy of advertisements targeted towards Black Americans. In this paper, we examine the ways in which racially targeted advertisements shape perceptions of candidates and the subsequent political mobilization of Blacks. Using a novel survey experiment with approximately 1,410 Black resp…
A Certain Type of Descriptive Representative? Understanding How the Skin Tone and Gender of Candidates Influences Black Politics
Although sociologists and psychologists have repeatedly demonstrated that colorism shapes how Black Americans evaluate members of their racial group, the literature on colorism in electoral politics remains curiously and ironically bereft of studies of Black Americans. We fill this lacuna in our article by asking how and in what ways might the skin tone and gender of Black candidates shape Blacks' vote intention along with perceptions of represen…
Set in Stone? Predicting Confederate Monument Removal
Recent events have led to a renewed conversation surrounding the relevance and potential removal of Confederate monuments around the country, and several monuments have already been removed. However, we have little insight to explain why some monuments have been removed while others remain. This article seeks to understand the social and political determinants that can better explain the recent removal of Confederate monuments throughout the Unit…
The power of post-racial: An exploration of post-racial rhetoric’s influence on candidate evaluations
While there has been much discussion among scholars and pundits about whether American society has become post-racial since 2008, the conversation has yet to delve into how politicians who call for citizens to move past racial divisions are evaluated relative to those who use other kinds of racial language. We offer a theoretical framework that explains how and why post-racial language is an effective rhetorical tool for any politician, and estab…
