They are a small group, but they are loud and often have an audience (and they aren't exclusively black either). I prefer to consider them special interest puppets who brand themselves as civil rights leaders. They prioritize their union/party/organization over their own people, and it's disgusting. If there is a crisis, they are instantly dispatched to agitate and distort with hopes that public outrage is channeled and shaped in a way that is beneficial to a specific group, usually one that supports the Democratic Party.
I think that's what the OP is about, but I'm not reading all of his subsequent posts to double check.
People that actually think for themselves don't have as big of a soap box, so they appear smaller in size.

This is excellent analysis. While I agree that there are more and more Tbirds and BHPs every year, their voice is not increasing in proportion to their numbers.
Again - if that voting pattern will just shift 10 points from 95/5 to 85/15, or, even better, 70/30, blacks will become as important as Latinos, particularly if turnout in elections without a black man running for President also increases.
As it is now - they're written off by the Republicans (although Rand Paul may make me rethink this) and taken for granted by their Democrat overseers, black and white.
