Wasn't Malcolm X exactly that? I mean, he did support Barry Goldwater

If Kanye is any indicator, the answer is no.
If you think just because you are a fan of marriage before having kids, and not drinking, going to church and stuff, that you are conservative, then i would ask that you understand the difference between being politically conservative and simply behaving conservatively.
Like putting a liberal amount of mustard on your burger, doesn't mean you would go around calling your self a liberal. But thats what some of yall do essentially with the word conservative. Most of them aren't.
You voting record should tell you if you are conservative or not, not your behavior. What conservative candidates have you supported?

Well first can you define what does it mean to be pro-black in a political sense.

People think the GOP brand of “conservative” is textbook conservatism.

I literally just watched this the other day. It's about 9 minutes and focuses on multiple groups of people, but a black woman in one pairing named Anita shocked me. She claims to be republican but is pro reparations. She also is pro choice.
I timestamped it but you have to watch entire thing to see her talk about other stuff.

There are tons of positions I have that would positions me as liberal to a conservative and conservative to a liberal
I'm also not a fan of the term "progressive" anymore either because many of them are just left wing grifters at this point, especially when "progressive" varies from place to place in this country.

White liberals never told blacks it was not cool to be a conservative. For the longest blacks were scared to say they were Republicans because what others would think. Still, I would say the majority of blacks are actually old school conservative. They just don't identify to what it has become today which is a white christian nationalist.
Lower case conservative, as in socially, yes, we tend to have more conservative values than mainstream but politically in this day and age I would hope not, can’t really untangle it from the blatant racism and classism.
Yeah basicallyConservativism 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.
Yes…… you negros that conflate your politics with being pro black are ACTUALLY mentally ill. You have no solution, and you’re lost.
Most of y’all are just obsessed with fighting the other side and explaining away behavior that you can’t defend, and deflecting when the actual conversation happens…
Kind of similar to when Candace Owens and Killer Mike were on that Revolt stage.
Difference between black conservatives and black liberals is that a a black conservative has probably been on the other side of the fence and basically felt it’s not working.
A black conservative is more open minded than a black liberal simply for the fact that they have actually switched their beliefs after a long thoughtful process.
Liberal mindset has no solution for black American problems. Id argue that you can’t be liberal and pro black
