I wouldn't mind seeing this program so I hope C-span will re-air it at some point.
I will say that regardless if you (as an african american) identify yourself as "conservative" or "libertarian", because it is not the label of "democrat" there is a majority of other african americans that have a misconception that you are somehow disconnected or (to put it plainly) don't care about the plight of AfAms. Truth be told I do think more AfAms would identify themselves with the conservative - maybe even libertarian thought, but don't for fear of being ostracized by the black community.
In general, I really do think that most african americans want to see more families staying or getting together, more responsible parenting, better schools, educational opportunities, a return to familial values and respect (How many threads are on GC that we speak of some bad kid that "needs a good whuppin'" to straighten out bad behavior or how we wouldn't dare talk to our parents in a certain manner?). Whether you subscribe to a conservative or democratic thought, those principles are typically shared by all.
Now how we implement these things....that's another story.
