So much for tolerance. There's a ton of hypocrisy in this video. I'll name one. I'm from south la, never went to school with more than 2 white boys, and lived in the ghetto. Never saw a white dude till they came around looking for black votes. Blacks are conservative; always have been. We've been played. White liberals have been using the black vote to further their radical agendas which we don't even agree with. I'm a true independent brother. This dude here, is the uncle sam; not me.

Did you even write your own stuff? And yeah - and affirmative action should end. I am now dumber for having watched this. If this is the logic of progressives, no wonder conservatives have such a following.

I am sorry that liberals have convinced you that living on hand-outs is the best you can hope for. Clarence Thomas in 2012!Check out MachoSauceProductions - but, hey, if you have all the answers, don't bother. It was funny how Howard Stern had Harlem residents ssying how they support Obama because he knows what's best as the interviewer attributed McCain's stances to Obama. I guess institutionalized racism extends as far as the white house.

You mention the KKK...hmmm do at least SOME research bud. KKK is liberal democratic group. Oh wait, liberals are now calling themselves "progressive". And did you say "progressive" values?????? LOL!!! what values? I guess the black conservatives you mention that have more degrees must be pretty smart...main reason...they are conservative. Stopped watching vid at 2 minutes because you are lost brotha.

Amen to that. As a black conservative its really tough because we are demonized and considered to be mentally ill. Its like I have to be in the closet. In addition to this I grew up in inner city Detroit and I know the problems blacks are facing. And pro Government programs have destroyed them. But if I get up and say something like that in the national spot light. I am toast.

it says "...they LEND themselves to being house niggers...". you've just proven who the ones who don't read truly are. nevertheless, you cannot compare black ethos to white ethos. self reliance sounds good to those that aren't in vulnerable positions like most black people are. strong defense sounds good until you're sent to the front line 1st. less gov't intervention sounds good until you observe the fact that EOE & AA got your black ass through that door that you just slammed. enjoy the lawn

House niggers? Nice comment.You've just proven who the truly judgemental ones are.By the way, tell me how self-reliance, low taxes, less government intervention, and strong defense is bad for ANYONE, black, white, or otherwise? You never addressed that.

you'll find your own take; that's mine. i try not to be an angry black man. BUT this is the reality, black conservatives (to me) are lawn jockeys. it's kinda like they're showing how wel they're assimilated to the western ideas of how we're all 'supposed to behave' according to the classical western ethos. i don't really have contempt BUT i want people to understand what it truly 'IS'. so go find your truth OR share yours with me; perhaps, we'll find a middle or a collective. right? |
