Conservative Blacks Love Black People

Cynthia's Interests asks:

If you are Black and Republican, is it a Party requirement to automatically have a disdain for anything that represent or remind you of Blackness?

Quite contrary to the line pushed by the victimology aristocracy, we do like, and even love black people, and we know we are black. If we didn't how would you know by reading our websites?

Racial disclosure is not something required. It's a choice.

Look at the blogrolls of the Internet's conservative opinion makers. Usually you find links to other black Conservatives, and often links to black Leftists!!! Black Pride meets Free Speech!

Though we consider our conscious choices to often be more important than our born-in-skin-color, we recognize that our skin color played a role in where we are today. We also see the fact that others with our same skin color are often in sad positions. The issue here is that we think the best way to address the issues of blacks, and others, is to face them by putting our best foot forward and do the most we can do on our own.

The left seems to want to blame someone else, or demand apologies, or beg for favors from others. While we must balance the politics of leveraging our interests and using available advantages, we should not force others to help us because of their guilt about what was done against us. We must be able to pedal our talents and virtues based on our talents and virtues alone. Only then can we leverage those assets into demands for more from others.
