If black conservatives are voting solely based on the historical significance of possibly putting a half black man in the White House, they were never conservative to begin with.

“If black conservatives are voting solely based on the historical significance of possibly putting a half black man in the White House, they were never conservative to begin with.”

So true. But let’s give black conservatives the benefit of the doubt. It takes a lot of courage to be a black and be conservative at the same time. In my family, it was even hard to be a Republican, and an extremem Republican at that, with all of the Dem history.

I can’t even imagine how tough it is to be a principled conservative and be black. But, let’s not take NPR’s slant here, wait for Williams and others to speak on their own. I think we’ll see Williams and others at McCain rallies.

There are a few conservatives who won’t even vote for McCain. They don’t seem to be on the hook.

They why didn't they strongly back conservative blacks running for office in the past,including the presidency?

Has anyone listened to J.C. Watts lately? Whenever he visits Sean Hannity, he is making excuses for Obama and for Rev. Wright, etc. Even Sean is beginning to catch on.
