Indeed. I've always found it strange when I hear about evangelical churches getting directly political. Don't get me wrong, I've attended several evangelical churches, and nearly all vote pretty uniformly. However, I've never heard any mention of any political candidate by the pastors at any of those churches. You can discern how they feel of course, but that is because one side usually aligns with issues the church cares about, and one takes a fairly opposite stance.
I have heard some snippets of the politicization of the black church, but not much. I have basically zero experience with black churches, but it does seem they're often more overt when it comes to advocating for "social justice" discussing political matters.
