“Majority of black Americans are conservative.” - @amerikan melanin

[COLI MANDINGO]

I find blk folks to be very liberal—our women love the gays, more and more are rejecting religion, there’s no longer a big emphasis on marriage or a family unit… we just had a thread about how our families aren’t married, even our churches no longer preach about the issues of bad behavior

I feel like whenever someone says that their examples start and end at anti-LGBTQ sentiments.

It 100% truly does. "Traditional family" and they type of yapping. There is zero depth to the argument but its a whole idea that LGBTQ should be wholly rejected. Its always the base of the argument.

So we love cops, obey the 1%, think racism is non existent or overstated, are anti-reparations or government assistance, etc etc?

Completely miss the point

 

[No_bammer_weed]

He clearly didn't mean politically.

Anti-black racism isn’t strictly “political”, so how do we align with that?

That's a bullshyt right wing talking point.
You can kind of make a case of social conservatism but even that's a stretch.
We are liberals...there is nothing here to conserve since it doesn't benefit black people economically.

What are black people conserving in America? We are constantly fighting to change the system...that's progressive not conservative

@Amerikan Melanin is talking about Black Americans are culturally conservative, not politically conservative, meaning traditional values. For example, Marriage, Family get togethers ie Family Reunions, Educational, Religious and etc.

Black Americans started family reunions, after slavery ended, we would search for our family members sold off and would have get annual get togethers:

The Historical Legacy of Black Family Reunions

As waves of emancipation swept through the country, many African Americans sought to reunite with lost family members and to define family roles and responsibilities in ways they believed best suited their new circumstances. Their efforts highlighted the importance of family as foundational to...

Facts? I don’t think @Amerikan Melanin was talkin about politically but culturally

Y’all agree?

I don’t really see it. I think they used to be but not today…

I’m not going to speak for the man. I believe when people call the monolith of Black people as conservative. They mean we are God fearing and don’t rock with the alphabet agenda. We believe in the concept of Law and Order, although it has been used historically against us.

Election season is here so the usual suspects are out in force trying to earn those MAGA bucks. And then when Biden gets 90%+ of the black vote they'llgo into hiding and prepare for 2026 midterms.

Conservative in culture does not equal to conservative in politics. There’s nothing conservative about those republican politicians
