Why you can't be a black conservative

[Freedman]

LGBT and feminism are the first two that come to mind.

Feminism isn't even on the radar of issues most black people care about and on the LGBT issue I think it might be alot of Older black folks in Love with white Jesus who may be on some I hate the gays but younger folks don't care as much

They are who they are and they're not changing.

You ain't them. Figure out who you are and get to work.

This sums it up in one simple sentence. If you are black, you belong to the out-group, so black conservatives are tap dancing in defense of a social order that is designed to marginalize their own.

And before coli milic00ns get mad and start arguing to the contrary, another excerpt from the text that quote is taken from:



This is it

Repped.

I just made a thread that explains how conservatism is essentially American branded fascism.

Black people can only fight fascism or be its victim.

Either or.

We can't benefit from fascism because of its structure. Essentially establishing a pecking order through brutal politic and subjugation of the lower orders to exploitation and servitude.

The pecking order doesnt favor any black person to succeed within it

Indeed conservative politics is designed to favor the white power structure.

Bro. Im be honest.

We need to.have this convo more.

Im not going shy away from it now living here in denver.
Black folks are getting pushed to the back for hispanics.
Its not even a question.

What are some of these social issues that black people are conservative on

Lgbt issues = no
Church/Religion = yes
Government in business = maybe
Traditional family structure.

I understand those.

This current republican party is turning into some American Nazi shyt though
Its making me look at some of my neighbors in my familys neighborhood who support him look real suspicious now.

Socially, most Black Americans are Black conservatives. It just doesn’t make sense to be a member of the GOP because they are actively racist. If they made a few fiscal concessions and were not overt White supremacist, they could have White House on lock for at least the next 50 years.

I disagree . We have gay music directors In the most strict churches, we don’t promote abortion but will use it when need be, we In general are the most helping people for anybody. These are a few things that go directly against the notion of use being conservative

 

[BaltimoreTwilightMarauder]

I consider myself a black moderate. I'm politically liberal but socially kinda conservative. I agree with the left on many political policy but them pushing feminism and "that agenda" disgusts me.

I consider myself a blk pragmatist.

Conservatism is some of the most anti-blk political stances you could possibly take. It doesn’t make common sense.

The black community overwhelmingly doesn’t hate trannies enough to justify supporting:

-voter suppresssion
-Taking funding from public education and giving it to private white schools
-Hating public transportation that is used primarily by poorer demographics to get to and from work
-Privatization of healthcare
-Privatization and expansion of prison system
-Compromising of mental health programs, social welfare programs, after school and enrichment programs,
-Rolling back basic civil rights
-Right to work states with no protections for workers
-Lack of government interference unless it’s to rob from the poor to give to the rich while stoking racial tensions to justify economic disparities created and maintained by these policies to line big business pockets.

Do ya’ll even know WHY NCLB act went into place under Bush?
-Pro-police and state authoritarianism
-Fukk the environment.

Black community is not conservative. They don’t like abortions, believe in God and guns, and are ambivalent on homosexuality.

Otherwise, socially and fiscally conservatism has ALWAYS been an anti-Black political stance. It’s literally just code to pass any legislation you can to take their money, give nothing in return, support white supremacist ideals, and make it harder for them to do what we say when we tell them to pull themselves up by the bootstraps—although we stole the boots from them in their sleep and gave them to the rich people down the street.
Following the policies is untenable for black Americans.

I really don’t know who people are fooling. Even if you got rid of the labels and just analyzed the POLICIES. Hey guys! Would you support a platform that is explicitly socially racist, supports voter suppression, doesn’t want the government to “interfere” with anything except to take ur money and give it to the rich, wants to kill you, hates any public enterprise and wants to privatize it so it can make even more money off you to benefit people who are already rich, hates giving u any help, and loves using racist rhetoric to justify policies that hurt everybody? Sounds great right?! You don’t like it, well at least we hate those trannies! Oh yeah fukk global warming and the environment.

I can’t speak anywhere near as eloquently, but I’d agree black folk are either extremely pragmatic, or religious traditionalists.

We are not and don’t need to be conservative. And the people that call themselves conservative have other dishonest motives... and if anything most black folk are not dishonest. Not even a little bit, we’ve never had the power TO BE dishonest even if we wanted to.

NCLB
No Child Left Behind Act

Under this educational act, high stakes testing became the law of the land. If you wonder why ur baby gets tested damn near 80 times a school year, it’s directly linked to NCLB.
But why? Follow the money.

Big business testing companies get paid out the wazoo for standardized testing.
“The Business Roundtable, an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. companies with more than $7.3 trillion in annual revenue, released its “2013 CEO Growth Agenda” and included a section on education reform. It has been involved for years in fostering education policy that its members believe will help grow businesses, helping to push a corporate-based reform agenda that includes high-stakes standardized tests and school choice.”

They literally take authentic learning experiences from children, test them to death, and when they don’t perform adequately, they use that to justify taking money and resources away from public schools where MOST blk kids are to give to rich white private schools—who btw don’t have to do all of that unnecessary testing and are going on camping trips.

B-b-b we conservative...really?!
Let’s talk about conservative cuts to over hundreds of other programs that have been PROVEN to help blk impoverished communities next.
