The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement

[Dana7360]

Until now, Black Conservatives were expected to act like Uncle Toms, spouting Conservative blame the victim rhetoric.

If the Republican Party really wants to attract blacks, they have to abandon their “plantation” rhetoric and stop their support of the Deplorables

Exactly. That's what blacks keep telling them and it is certainly what these black republicans are doing.

Wouldn't it make more sense to burn the Republican Party down and start over with a party which wasn't cobbled together on a foundation of racism? The Ronald Reagan coalition welcomed Dixiecrats and racists of all stripes because Reagan was smart enough that he couldn't win without them. He pitted rural whites against urban black, declaring ketchup a vegetable for school lunches and railed against inner city "welfare queens" popping out babies to increase their income.

Republicans have betrayed everything that conservatives stand for: expanding the size of government, not shrinking it; running huge, fiscally irresponsible deficits. Their fiscal policies have now crashed the economy during three of the last four times they've held the White House, and the Reagan tax code created the biggest transfer of wealth in world history - all of it upward.

The whole party is toxic to minorities, women, religious minorities and gays. Even mainstream Christians are poorly served by Republicans. If you're not a straight white male, Repubicans have nothing for you. Even worse, they'll see your membership as a validation of their toxic white male agenda.

You make sense and I think that the black conservatives could be the ones that burn down the current republican party.

Yes them being less racist is a good thing.

However.

They still have the most irresponsible, destructive and down right deadbeat political, social and economic policies in our nation.

It's not the Democrats who have crashed the economy 3 times in the past 40 years. It's not the Democrats which have continually expanded government, while cutting revenues.

Exactly. Except you left out one. I'm sure you did because he crashed our economy soon after he was first elected then went on a spending spree never seen before in our nation in non war times. reagan. He put us in the worst economic recession since the last republican Great Depression. reagan, bush the first, the bush boy and trump have collapsed our economy.

Conservatives not being racist is a good thing but they still come with the most irresponsible, destructive and most deadbeat economic, political and social polices I've ever encountered in my life.

Ever since reagan changed our economic, social and political policies to conservative America has been in decline. We have bubbles and bursts with our economy. We have ultra rich being able to buy politicians and legislation. We have states that don't have proper health care for women. Rural areas that don't have a doctor much less a clinic for anyone not just women. Conservative states that look to me more like 3rd world nations than the United States of America.

America will never return to our once greatness while conservative policy is allowed to control or even influence our nation.

Its the Progs who increase program after program as the people become less educated and more primal. If we kep the same Federal Income Tax practices from before the Reagan Tax Cuts with inflation indexing, A person or family would be in the 45%/55% tax bracket earning 50 thousand dollars a year. And that is just Federal Taxes without the current 15% social security/medicare tax. And then there are the state, local and city taxes in every way possible with fines and fees that can bring the real taxes to near 60%. Maybe more.

If that is your perception of reality, you have poor perception.

Yes, I know. The Trumpsters tell me the same thing.

I agreed with something you posted. In fact, I took it further.

So, I guess my perception is pretty good, but only when you agree with it.

We didn't actually agree but we can agree on part of something and not completely agree. I don't call recognizing racism being obsessed with it. That's where I would disagree with those black conservatives. And you did not really take anything further. You dismissed racism by make the claim you did about enabling racism.

We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left, but we also do not discount its impact as many do on the right.

Bravo. My position precisely. Although it does go further than just "discounting its impact". "Enabling more of it" is closer to reality.

How you think that dismisses racism can only be a mystery.

This is the same kind of bizarre fantasy I get from Trumpsters. I remain amazed at how similar the two ends can be.

 

[IM2]

Do ewe idiots remember Colin Powell, Condeleeza Rice, Allen West, and on and on and on and on? Dew ewe remember what the left called them?

I know people who are related to Alan West and they call him a sellout. Rice and Powell were sellouts and only in recent years have stood up against the racism in the republican party. You can go on and on, but the black conservatives in this article do not represent the philosophy of the black conservatives republicans have pushed out in from of the American people. Most of you in here will not like black conservatives like the ones who are part of this movement.

‘Racism in the Republican Party’. Do you think it is unique to the Republican Party and does not exist in the Democrat Party?

Look, the republican party is opposed to all policies that have allowed blacks to inch closer to equality and have done so since Goldwater opposed the civil rights act. That is the difference between the p[arties today.

Factually speaking, Goldwater supported the propose Civil Rights Legislation of ‘57 and ‘60. Kennedy opposed Civil Rights legislation a few short years earlier in ‘57. Neither man was opposed to Civil Rights.

I do tire of whites trying to argue with me about this. There is a reason black republicans did not support the republican platform or candidate in 1964 and called both racist.

Tire yourself all you want but that does not change the fact that Goldwater opposed the legislation in ‘64 but not Civil Rights just as Kennedy did in ‘57. What is disturbing is how almost overnight many Democrats with names like Fulbright, Gore, Byrd... who spent years pushing segregation now all of the sudden embraced the Legislation and are credited for “supporting civil rights”.

Again, there is a reason blacks condemned Goldwater and the republican platform of 1964, walked put of the convention, supported Johnson and publicly declared the platform and candidate as racist.

You republicans spend a whole lot of time lying about your history. I know all about those democrats you named and Al Gore Jr was not his father. Later on Robert Byrd apologized and publicly denounced his past position. Meanwhile:

View attachment 336701

Strom Thurmond apologized too yet that did not stop Democrats from excoriating him over the years. Byrd oversaw a group that terrorized, assaulted and killed Blacks. Thurmond was a segregationalist. Big difference. The bullshit factor is the that Blacks and Democrats stood shoulder to shoulder with Byrd not because of his apology but simply because he had a (D) at the end of his name.

Strom Thurmond stayed racist and didn't apologize until he was on his death bed. I didn't like Robert Byrd and never voted for him. Nor did most every other black person unless they lived in West Virginia. You talk about Byrd and I'm talking about your party's opposition to civil rights, affirmative action and racial equality up to right now. Look at these republicans here in this forum, so fuck that shit about Robert Byrd, you 've got people like Steve King, Kris Kobach and other white supremacists in your party today. And spare me your whining because you support trump and all his bullshit only because he has an R by his fucking name.

You believe that people are enabling racism for speaking out on it whenever they see its existence. That's trumpism.

The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
January 1, 2020 by Jeff Charles

It is a new year, and a new decade. Changes are occurring in American politics. The Democratic Party is currently embroiled in a heated war between the establishment and far-left progressive factions. The Republican Party is also caught in a conflict between its own establishment and those who want to bring change.

But there is another evolution occurring, especially on the right, one that has gone largely unnoticed until now. This change is happening in the realm of the black conservative movement with a growing number of right-leaning black Americans pushing for a change in GOP and the overall conservative movement. In essence, they are a new breed of black conservatives, and if their efforts are successful, it could make an immense mark on the nation’s political landscape.

If you have read my work regarding the conservative movement’s relationship — or lack thereof — with the black community, you have seen some of the ideas we espouse. Our message differs from that of the traditional black conservative establishment in that it emphasizes a different view of, and approach to, the black community. We recognize that the messaging strategies used by the black conservative establishment, though well-intentioned, have been woefully impotent when it comes to reaching black American voters. It is time for a new approach.

So what does this look like?

It looks like conservatives talking about blacks as people deserving of dignity instead of treating them as mentally inferior. It means seeing them as fellow Americans instead of slaves on a fictional plantation. It means emphasizing truth over narrative and seeking a genuine understanding of those we wish to reach instead of relying on lazy stereotypes and meaningless platitudes. It means not being limited by the statistics the media selects for us and digging deeper to understand the true issues facing the black community. We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left, but we also do not discount its impact as many do on the right.

Instead of a conservative movement that relies on talking points and narratives lacking nuance, the new black conservative movement seeks to foster a holistic understanding of the black community. This means promoting a real understanding of the black community, its culture, and its history. Rather than holding events that are ostensibly tailored to reaching black voters, but are attended by mostly non-blacks, we wish to see the Republican Party, right-leaning media, and conservative organizations engage directly with black Americans in their communities.

We favor an approach that involves up-close conversation and discourse instead of the mindless repeating of banal platitudes about Chicago’s homicide rates from a distance. The non-establishment black conservative wants to sell the virtues of conservative policies that promote free enterprise rather than only bashing socialism.

Our focus isn’t just on Trump and the presidency; it is on winning black voters at the local and state levels, and in the legislative branch. We’re more likely to favor an organization like the Empower America Project, which is training minority and women candidates to run for office, over a group like Blexit, which has failed to reach black Americans because it still uses the traditional black conservative messaging strategy.

The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement

There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.

www.redstate.com

Now these are black conservatives I can work with or even become a part of.

You might be able to but the crazy far right radical extremists who are the majority of the Republican Party now since they've driven all the sane people out, will never, ever accept any compromise or any moderation.

Sure they will be nice to black conservatives to their faces but behind their backs they are the same far right radical extremists who walk around with swastikas and stupid red baseball hats made in China.View attachment 336847

True. Those black conservatives have a difficult task because they are going to be rejected because they don't do the step in fetchit like Owens, Carson, Elders, William or Sowell.

 

[IM2]

Senator Tim Scott from S Carolina is one of the new black conservatives.

He calls Republicans on the hate rhetoric and pushes new conservatism

What's new conservatism?

Bankrupting and collapsing our economy in record time?

Giving huge tax breaks so that more rich and big business can not pay anything in taxes and get refunds in the millions?

Driving our allies away so we're left isolated?

Destroying non aggression treaties so more nations lead by those who hate us can develop more nukes?

Lying every time they open their mouths?

Sorry, that's today's conservatives.

While these black people aren't racists, they still advocate the most irresponsible and desructive political, economic and social policies in our nation.

The thing here is if you are black, its dumb to argue about limited givernment. Black liberals are for free markets, but if not for the federal government, we'd still be slaves.

I didn't read a word of this propaganda piece, because I already read it loud and clear.

The party of slavery, destruction of black families through welfare and excuses, thought-control, weakness, projection and victims roles have revealed their colors. Your party can't even hide it well, contradiction and failure has become their comfort zone.

Blacks are coming to light and it's awesome.

So your story is an attempt to disrupt and make excuses for your party's demise under the worst group of members in our history.

There is no demise and blacks are not running to the republican party. The root cause of the problems blacks face is white racism and both parties have been responsible. Todays republican party is the racist party of these times and you are an example of that racism.

 

[OldLady]

plantation owners used racism to divide poor blacks and poor whites because they feared that they would be powerless if poor people banded together and joined forces.

I've read some interesting takes on the problem lately. In many ways, it is a social class issue. Poor white communities face many of the identical problems as poor blacks. The poor have always been looked down on and probably always will. And most likely there will always be poor among us unless we go communist, and then we'll ALL be poor.

The party of slavery, destruction of black families through welfare and excuses, thought-control, weakness, projection and victims roles have revealed their colors. Your party can't even hide it well, contradiction and failure has become their comfort zone.

Blacks are coming to light and it's awesome.

So your story is an attempt to disrupt and make excuses for your party's demise under the worst group of members in our history.

What are Republicans offering minorities?

Vote Republican because.....

I guess we are suppose to vote republican because they tell us to. They oppose everything that has allowed us to make the smallest inroads but we are supposed to vote republican because they tell us democrats owned slaves in the 1850's. They don't talk about The 1877 compromise made by a republican that ended reconstruction. They don't talk about northern democrats that opposed racism and southern republicans that supported it. One of them bought up Byrd and Thurmond, but Thurmond left the democratic party because of integration, Byrd stayed a democrat and accepted integration. They think we are stupid because that's what racists believe about black people.

plantation owners used racism to divide poor blacks and poor whites because they feared that they would be powerless if poor people banded together and joined forces.

I've read some interesting takes on the problem lately. In many ways, it is a social class issue. Poor white communities face many of the identical problems as poor blacks. The poor have always been looked down on and probably always will. And most likely there will always be poor among us unless we go communist, and then we'll ALL be poor.

I don't know if we'll all be poor if we go communist but capitalism is about who can acquire the most capital and a economic system like that will breed inequality. Race has been an issue because poor whites have been part of the oppression. Poor whites were the ones burning down black communities.

These black conservatives do not get the exposure by the RWM as the Candice Owens types and it is done on purpose.

The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
January 1, 2020 by Jeff Charles

It is a new year, and a new decade. Changes are occurring in American politics. The Democratic Party is currently embroiled in a heated war between the establishment and far-left progressive factions. The Republican Party is also caught in a conflict between its own establishment and those who want to bring change.

But there is another evolution occurring, especially on the right, one that has gone largely unnoticed until now. This change is happening in the realm of the black conservative movement with a growing number of right-leaning black Americans pushing for a change in GOP and the overall conservative movement. In essence, they are a new breed of black conservatives, and if their efforts are successful, it could make an immense mark on the nation’s political landscape.

If you have read my work regarding the conservative movement’s relationship — or lack thereof — with the black community, you have seen some of the ideas we espouse. Our message differs from that of the traditional black conservative establishment in that it emphasizes a different view of, and approach to, the black community. We recognize that the messaging strategies used by the black conservative establishment, though well-intentioned, have been woefully impotent when it comes to reaching black American voters. It is time for a new approach.

So what does this look like?

It looks like conservatives talking about blacks as people deserving of dignity instead of treating them as mentally inferior. It means seeing them as fellow Americans instead of slaves on a fictional plantation. It means emphasizing truth over narrative and seeking a genuine understanding of those we wish to reach instead of relying on lazy stereotypes and meaningless platitudes. It means not being limited by the statistics the media selects for us and digging deeper to understand the true issues facing the black community. We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left, but we also do not discount its impact as many do on the right.

Instead of a conservative movement that relies on talking points and narratives lacking nuance, the new black conservative movement seeks to foster a holistic understanding of the black community. This means promoting a real understanding of the black community, its culture, and its history. Rather than holding events that are ostensibly tailored to reaching black voters, but are attended by mostly non-blacks, we wish to see the Republican Party, right-leaning media, and conservative organizations engage directly with black Americans in their communities.

We favor an approach that involves up-close conversation and discourse instead of the mindless repeating of banal platitudes about Chicago’s homicide rates from a distance. The non-establishment black conservative wants to sell the virtues of conservative policies that promote free enterprise rather than only bashing socialism.

Our focus isn’t just on Trump and the presidency; it is on winning black voters at the local and state levels, and in the legislative branch. We’re more likely to favor an organization like the Empower America Project, which is training minority and women candidates to run for office, over a group like Blexit, which has failed to reach black Americans because it still uses the traditional black conservative messaging strategy.

There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.
