Historically speaking, blacks in the United States have traditonally been IDEOLOGICALLY CONSERVATIVE!!! Its only been since 64' that blacks have been thought of as liberal mainly due to the marketing job far left liberals have done. So Id like to first start this thread with the great black conservative thinkers of the 20th Century
Booker T. Washington - "Self Help"
Marcus Garvey- "Self Reliance"
Carter G. Woodson- "Mis-Education of the Negro"
George Washington Carver- "The Black Leonardo"
Macolm X- "By Any Means Necessary"
Jackie Robinson- "Reinforcement of Black power through conservatism"
Plenty more Black Conservatives in the early 20th century but I will leave at these great gentlemen for now and we can discuss specifically why each were ideologically conservative in their own right and how their message is the blueprint for saving the black population today.
Now I caution, this thread isnt about democrats vs republicans for both parties has its racists elements (white far right southern republicans and gay far left democrats). This thread is about black conservatism in general and how different issues today are seen from the black conservative perspective.
