If ones only source of conservative content is Fox News, One America News Network or many online sites, one would conclude it's a White ideology, with a short list of Black folks making appearances or serving as regular contributors. As with liberalism, by virtue of this being a (shrinking) majority White country, that accounts for the predominant pigmentation of conservatism. However, Black America has its own conservative traditions, independent of strains practiced by mainstream ones. We have religious conservatives whose fundamentalism in Christianity, Judaism and Islam is as old school as any observed by ethnicities popularly considered representative of those faiths. Our business and professional class, regardless of how they vote, are intensely conservative and not given to anything remotely considered "radical" or worse, "militant." Voting twice for Obama is about as risky as they get. Ironically, even Black nationalists, often considered separatists, ...
The famed liberal Republican newsman just tweeted: "If #Chicago authorities had any guts they'd bring #StopAndFrisk to gang-riddled streets. At yesterday's funeral massacre every man there was illegally armed. 14 shot. It's not a rap song. It's real. A ghetto civil war, gangs fighting for drug turf-Kids getting caught in crossfire." As if resurrecting a problematic public safety policy like Stop & Frisk isn't bad enough, his use of the racially loaded phrase, "ghetto civil war" raised eyebrows until they touched my ceiling. Racially loaded language doesn't help captive communities. My safety advocacy was born opposing sudden waves of violence and theft when Crack Cocaine hit Black America, so I know the problem all too well, including threats and confrontations. Creating urban safety and liberating hostage, law abiding residents written off as collateral damage can't be done with toxic tweets, especially from a minority r...
When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare...
