If you think about it, black America and conservative america have a lot in common. We are both very spiritual. Conservatives believe in small owned businesses and belive federal govt should stay out of the way. Blacks believe in black owned businesses which are usuallly small owned . Blacks also dont want the government teling running their lives.
The difference comes when you starttalking about civil rights and thats bigone. Most conservatives believe in the comcept of puling ones self up by his own bootstraps. They look at federal programs such as welfare and affirmative action as the federal govt taking care of one sect of america and leaving another out. They dont fully understand the whole concept of these programs and most are not open minded enough to try.
I think we more black conservatives need to come forth. I also think we need more blacks in the Republican party becuase we need to be a viable force in both major political parties in order to effect change in the way America views African Americans. We need to inflitrate the GOP just like we did the Democratic establishment during FDR's time.
