Now famous federal officers in Portland, Oregon, are members of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and US Border Patrol deputized by DHS agency, Federal Protective Service (FPS), to help FPS secure federal property and investigate riot suspects. Critics accuse them of being "secret police." Name tags on uniforms were removed to avoid doxxing of agents home addresses and families. The military style of these uniforms are due to use for riot duty and officers SWAT team role in their home agencies, requiring durable, chemical and ballistic resistant garb. Agency insignia are on camoflauge uniforms but not in large print. Derrick Hollie , the Black conservative who recently debated this deployment on Roland Martin Unfiltered, could have researched this information.

I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent.

Highlight how they really see th...
Here's my definition of what a Black Nationalist Conservative is: My safety and homeless outreach puts the "office" or "service center" on sidewalks and streets. It is a repudiation of top down solutions to problems and other elitest approaches. It's an expression of non racist Black nationalism where I am a service provider to anyone in need, instead of a stereotypical service recipient. It's key that Black men independently provide infrastructure to address issues surrounding us and to dispel notions that we're passive recievers of other's good will. It's also an expression of non mainstream conservatism that privately contributes to America without automatic alignment with majority population conservative camps. That said, I have more in common with these camps than differences. I'm a Black nationalist conservative, an old school brother with an open mind, doing his civic duty to community and country and alliance ...
