And to think he calls me tough. Ha! I've already told him that he's seen nothing yet. ;-)
Challenge him. Question his assumptions and views. Toughen his resolve so that he can speak fearlessly. Face it, as it stands today, one can not be black and an outspoken conservative without strength and heartfelt conviction.
Finally!
In the first half of the 20th century, in spite of all the obstacles, blacks in America busted their butts through hard work and strong families. Black men raised their sons to be tough, tough as nails, and to prevail and succeed in spite of the odds. Crime was low, children were succeeding, and black communities were the safest to be in, even for whites. Discipline and hard work was instilled.
Then came the liberal vision.
A higher percentage of Democrats in the Senate voted against the voting rights initiative in the 60's than Republicans.
Charlton Heston marched with MLK.
Robert Byrd was a grand wizzard in the KKK.
With all due respect, do you realize what you are saying? You do realize that you are standing at a threshold of a door that is hard-pressed to be opened, right? You're absolutely correct. The liberal vision "came." But why did that vision retain its traction, even though it is destructive to hold on to?
Think about that one. I'm sure you will get it.
No mercy.
