Do you think conservative blacks should lose the right to vote because the majority of blacks vote Democrat?
You think men like Allen West should not be able to vote since he is black?
Do you think all whites vote in the best interests of the nation?
Anyone, regardless of their skin color, who votes for abortion, homosexual “marriage” and adoption, gun control, and socialism, does not deserve the right to vote.
What you’re advocating is collectivism. That’s not conservative. Conservatism recognizes individual responsibility.
It seems like the nonstop mental assault of the leftwing media has taken its toll on your thinking. You are accepting the narrative that blacks must vote liberal. Instead of attacking all blacks, you need to realize that conservative values are beneficial to all who embrace them, including blacks.
And if conservatives could win over just ten percent of blacks to conservatism, it would tip the scales. And everyone—black, white, or whatever—would benefit.
But statements such as yours are not helpful to win over any blacks. It just reenforces the stereotype of conservatives being racist.
Not at all. To the extent that any individual subscribes to the tenets of Conservatism, welcome aboard! You are though, ignoring realities of where we are today. I don't accept that blacks must vote liberal, but the vast majority of them do, and in so doing, they are ruining our country, and I am not going to give them a pass for their actions that contravene those same Conservative values you mention.
It's interesting that you mention turning 10% of Blacks to Conservatism, because years ago that theory was brought out in a slightly different context. Realizing that Blacks were disadvantaged by being new to Western Civilization, it was postulated that if ten percent of Blacks could achieve success, that they would “show the road” to the rest. And there is no question but that a goodly number of Blacks have achieved success, but they have characteristically NOT USED THEIR GOOD FORTUNE TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE MEMBERS OF THEIR ETHNIC GROUP. Actually, the converse has been shown to be largely true. It's like the conundrum law enforcement faces. They know that their safety depends upon correctly assessing their situation and acting accordingly. Any cop who engages a Black does so with trepidation based on statistics and not on the individual, and while that's sad that he does, it's reality. My daughter dates a man who is mixed race, and he looks African. She tells me about how he's mistreated (he has a masters degree in Engineering from a major university) when they are out in public. But he understands that his treatment is based on the broader statistic that says people like him are more likely to present a problem. So I am all for a plan that fixes this problem, but I don't see one on the horizon any time soon. In fact, thanks to eight years of Obama, the situation has become demonstrably worse, and it's thanks to his policies and pronouncements.
I’d thrown in there, that the only people allowed to vote are the property and business owners, as they’re the ones paying the large majority of the taxes and lose out the most, when certain demographics vote themselves goodies from guy’s like Conyers.
