Your mindset is an elitist one. Also, they have Marxist, liberal, and conservative ideologies in Africa. I like you as a poster dude, but stop being a dikk. You remind me of myself a few years ago.

Here is the thing though those groups in Africa started their own INDEPENDENT political movements, the same way the NOI, Black Panthers, MOVE, etc started their own INDEPENDENT movements. These groups may have had "similar" elements but they did not call themselves "Black Republicans" or "Black Marxist".

Taking elements from existing political ideologies to create a new one that caters to the issues of your people is completely different from Joining the Political parties of the same people who oppressed you.

Once again taking elements from something to form a new custom solution is different than aligning yourself with an existing movement let alone run by people who hate you.

Like I said, I'm not in a political party. However, some of my social views are centre-left and my economics position is left. The goal is for the Black Community to unite. Your views won't change and I doubt my political views will. So, this topic is just ehh at best. I'm for Black unity to help the community. Same as the Black Conservatives. I just wanted to be respectful as I could.

I mean children are entitled to belief in Santa Clause, it does not mean I can't think it is a foolish ideal. This is a message board so at the end of the day differing opinions will be expressed. I don't go around shaming "Black Democrats" or "Black Republicans", but if we are having the discussion I`m going to give my POV on the concept.

And I don't want Black Unity, all Black people do not deserve to be saved nor do they want to be saved. You have many blacks who are fine with the current state of things, and it is not my job to tell them something may be wrong. I only care about building with like minded people, anyone else is free to do whatever they please.

Alright and I respect your point of view. Hopefully, you respect mine in return. Like I said, I want the community to prosper and I'll always feel that way kindsir (no malice).

My brother in law is a huge conservative republican who is in absolute love with the Founding Fathers. He's one of those old school conservatives :francis:

Now, that's a Sambo :heh:

He also hates it when people get checks from the government! :russ:

But here is the kicker: he's disabled (dialysis and he just got surgery for a catheter today) and he gets a big check. My nieces both get a check because one is badly autistic and the other one is hyper like me lol but he hates benefits :lolbron:. My mom and I had to help my sister and her family off and on for almost a year and a half because of him. He is also addicted to gambling. Years ago when I was getting unemployment this n*gga got the insurance check for his car and blew it gambling and they were behind on 3 house payments. They were about to get evicted and I had to give up my unemployment checks I saved up to keep their house.
He doesn't do it as much because he can barely drive now but hates government help :dead:My mother and I still cook food to bring over there. My sister works but it's not enough to cover everything. This man is conservative in all matters but if it wasn't for government assistance they would be out in the streets. If it wasn't for my mom's VA and Social Security and retirement (and having to sell some jewelry last year) they would have no heat, air, water you name it.
I will never take poor/struggling conservative republicans seriously at all, especially him :bryan:

He sounds like a lot of Republican white working class supporters, typified by Craig T Nelson's statement I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? Welfare is bad because it helps the wrong people and they are just unlucky and more deserving of that assistance. They somehow coexist with a party that likes gutting social assistance is a nod to those guys and hence Reagan's welfare queen positioning. Other conservatives are the free market types who would rail against Government interference and the "Democratic plantation" and identity politics while they only appear on Fox to comment mostly on black issues.

You guys do realize that Conservatism is an ideology and the GOP is a political party (its literally in the name)?
You realize that the two don't mean the same thing and are not interchangeable right?

Nvm, i'll let ya'll cook.
