As a black man, I find it pretty laughable that there is a Blexit of any kind happening. Black voters have never been a liberal monolith. We vote Democratic even though the Democratic party is far from perfect, because for the past 55+ years, one party has been doing everything it can to disenfranchise us and punish us for asking for equal rights. And that party isn't the Democratic party.
Using the political and social zeitgeist of the 90s to judge where the party is now is silliness, and I think you all know that. The crime bill was unilaterally popular, and it was an unmitigated disaster, and there are few Democrats who would stand by it now, and even Biden isn't one of them. Populism can suck.
Black voters tend to be way more conservative than the Democratic party because active black voters tend to be older, but that is changing. Of course you can find black voters who will vote for Trump, but that isn't a sign of an exodus. In 2016 "Superpredator" Clinton got the largest share of the black vote in history, and early polling suggests more of the same in 2020.
Don't be obtuse.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
