Shine spotlight on her policies and philosophy, not light a cross against her parentage, gender and pigmentation.

I have little to nothing in common with national Democrats on key issues but am addressing a disturbing rush to racism I'm seeing regarding their Vice Presidential pick. Her American citizenship and even ethnicity are questioned in an increasingly demented and discriminatory manner.


Regarding civil rights and civility, it would be refreshing if the "Xeno Right," as I call them, would be silenced by reasonable Republicans who don't want a repeat of shrill, bigoted bloviating seen during the Obama years. I'm not an Obama supporter but don't support xenophobic conservatives either.


Grassroots conservatives and reasonable Republicans must muzzle the Xeno Right or risk confirming blanket bigotry allegations from the other side of the aisle. Adding more toxicity to an already toxic election cycle doesn't help the body politic. It's already on life support from a double dose of partisanship and pandemic shutdowns.


Early indications suggest otherwise but as Jack Kemp and John McCain rebutted xenophobic conservatives of their day, grassroots conservatives and reasonable Republicans can do no less now.


Shine a spotlight on her policies and philosophy, not light a cross against her parentage and pigmentation. 


It's the right thing for America's right wing to do.

What can Obama say about Biden's You ain't Black!, crack? He's checkmated unless he risks denouncing the comment, and possibly strengthening opposition, before also rallying offended troops back to vote for him. Cap Black

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

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. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

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
