Can you respect a black republican?

[3333broadway]

It seems to me that these black republicans all deny racism as a problem in current America and spend more time attacking white liberals than actually addressing what conservatism can do for black america.
They spend time admonishing the "culture" and heavy critique of people calling out racism than actual racism.


edit: just want to point out that most conservative ideals like "small government" and "state rights" are an antithesis to the Civil Rights Act which was basically the Federal government forcing the jim crow states to end apartheid.

I have a hard time respecting people’s political opinions if they stan for Republican or Democrats as if either are in their best interests

Ones that don’t suck up to whites could be cool but where are they... why can’t they be black jingoists... they’re always trying to suck up to cacs instead of our own people

I disagree this is a false equivalency i feel most people that don't pay attention to politics make just to seem like they know what they are talking about.

Can you please give reasons why you feel that the democrats are not the obvious choice for poc

 

[YouMadd?]

If you read about the history of this country, most of the first black politicians were Republicans... so yes...

Stanning either side is kinda corny

The one black Republican I know has mad money & supports them for their pro-business/lax tax stance, he was quiet during the last presidential race tho

This sounds like Fox News when they say "Republicans freed the slaves!!!!"

What a fukking joke....

 

[Booker T Garvey]

anybody black here saying "yes" is full of shyt.

there is nothing worse in the black community to be than a black republican; nothing.

don lemon can go into any black community town hall meeting and be good, none of these people in these youtube videos can say this.

 

[Take It In Blood]

Nope

I have read the history of this country. Have you?


If you did you would know republican party from 19th century is not the same GOP we know today.
A simple google search on the southern strategy would mute your point.

There is a reason the majority of red states are places like Alabama, Tennessee and other KKK states.

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Card carrying Republican? No

Conservative? Yes

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Didn't take long for the both sides bullshyt to show up.

Not to sound like a broken record, but this ignores the party realignment that took place in the early 20th century. I can't respect a modern-day republican. They're fighting hard to suppress our vote.

Theres no such thing as poc bro

And here’s the reasons why Democrats are trash

They singlehandedly destroyed the black family with the introduction of the welfare state and the war on drugs. Creating broken homes with locked up fathers and enabling women to treat the government as their man.Now they are destroying the American family in general cuz white people are feeling it too.

They enable and treat minorities esp black people like kids

They pass every law for every other group (gays, mexicans etc) under the guise of people of color but black people get no laws made specifically for the black community

Treat the black vote like a jumpoff bc they know black people will blindly vote for them but dont make any laws in favor of them.

Bring about an insidious undercover type of racism that keeps black people down without them realizing it (which is worse than in ur face racism)

Name me one law Democrats have passed for black people specifically that actually helped

 

[3333broadway]

Nope

He speaking straight facts "Conservatism means maintaining the STATUS QUO"

The status quo in this country is white supremacy
