What description would you give to African-American voters who voted enthusiastically, or held their nose, and voted for Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld for president and vice president last year in 2016?

AA voters who were turned off by Trump's white-centric populism but couldn't bring themselves to vote for Clinton given her husband's "tough on crime" stances in the 90s and her "superpredators" rhetoric.

^^^ This, or simply Black voters who are independent thinkers. I would say Black voters (or any other voters) who voted Johnson/Weld in 2016 were not much different from those who voted for Alan Keyes in the GOP primary in 2000: young, educated, non-ideological but wedded to some American idea of "freedom" and opposed to groupthink or despotism.

Black voting did go down but more whites than anyone voted for Johnson/Stein than Blacks or Latinos because they were attracted to Bernie Sanders. Latte Liberals who refused to vote for Trump.
