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.

IDK a lot of Black people who claim to be conservative don't really live like it ime.
2nd guy is right. most black people are socially conservative and fiscally liberal
although, american conservatism is considered right-wing extremist in other democratic countries. so it would be hard to say most black people are extremists by global standards

"Conservative" and "Liberal" became slurs at some point, and have been painted with definitions other than what they mean.
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...
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.

You can be just not the Republican brand of conservatism.
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.

It's been a good run. Wish y'all the best ✊🏿
Both MLK and Malcolm X were culturally conservative compared to most ppl today. There's a difference between being culturally conservative and co-signing republican politics.

Black people before 2000 were majority conservative until White Liberals told them it wasn't cool anymore.... and they listened lol
Some people are too slow to understand that.

You have to have something before you can make moves to "conserve" it. Otherwise it's the literal definition of hustling backwards.
