Based on this convo in another thread.

Does being conservative align you to close with Republican’s?


This is disgusting but the twitter it was posted on is comical.
There is no such thing as a "Pro-Black Conservative".
These things are inherently contradictory.

Is it?

Most blacks are socially conservative.

Yes.
It is.

The story of black political engagement is largely progressive on many fronts.

Conservativism for black people just means being religious. Occasionally, it can be tied to tax avoidance.





It's not the same thing as white conservativism which is a movement to fix things in America the way the way they were in in 1865.:francis:

Conservatism does not equal Republican.
It's literally conserving values... whatever they may be.
Now if you're trying to conserve some white ass shyt that Ronald Reaga/Repbublican then... :mjpls:


But as Black people, we have our own values to conserve and uphold. I don't take on that title given the connotation around it today but I understand the nuance.

Sure. One of the only political ideologies I'd say is straight up anti-black would be libertarianism. If you're black and don't believe the government has any role in domestic policy - and thus that that Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, etc were unconstitutional then yea...I'm gonna question you. And I'll question your blackness if you make arguments I hear white people make: "well discrimination isn't good but the government shouldn't do anything about it. Let the market decide. If some businesses don't serve black people, they will be at a disadvantage and naturally go out of business." Nah you gotta go.

Being liberal or progressive socially doesn't mean single parent homes, alphabet gang, or societal dysfunction. All other 1st world countries that are socially and financially progressive have intact family unit s.

That's not Libertarianism lol. That's Anarcho-Capitalism or Anarchism
