People who adhere to a religion ferociously as dedicated Leftists/Marxists do, hate people who are not members of their religion, much the same as Fundamental Islam does.
But, if you once belonged and have left their “Church” (which is how they no doubt view a black person who accepts conservative premises) you are then viewed as an “Apostate”, which is far, FAR more egregious than someone who never believed to begin with.
YOU once belonged to their “church”, and after weighing the facts, decided it was not for you.
That makes Apostates a special kind of threat to them which must be wholly eradicated. In Islam, there is a special circle of Hell for Apostates.
So, blacks who are conservatives are Apostates, and must be destroyed at all costs.

Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell are attacked by the likes of Joy Reid and Maxine Waters, and Booker T. Washington was attacked by the likes of W.E.B. Dubois back in the early 20th Century.
