Yes, some of "us" Blacks have Conversative leanings. Either way, such categories are silly at best. I agree with Elephant Walk.

Yes, Walter E. Williams is loved by some of "us" and hated by some of "us." I've always liked him even if I didn't agree with every single thing he said. We had a Black folks meeting decades ago in which we decided that we don't all have to agree or form alliances with everyone on everything. We left the slave plantation a long time ago.

Elephant Walk, most of the people (who have heard about the book and) who are against this book tend not to have read it. They are going based on the author and the "Conversative" label. That's dumb but old dumb dies hard, and it's largely based on the demonizing of many sociopolitical-socioeconomic approaches in the overall Black community (which doesn't have to be a physical community, of course, it is cultural). Many people still haven't realized that EVERY "-ism" bypasses labels and categories.
