A "Black Republican" typically refers to an African American who identifies as a member of the Republican Party in the United States. The term is used to describe a person who is both black and supports the principles and policies of the Republican Party, which is traditionally associated with conservatism and right-of-center political views. It is important to note that while African Americans have historically supported the Democratic Party in large numbers, a significant minority have also identified as Republicans and have played important roles in shaping the party and its policies.
