think a lot of opposition to conservatism isn't based on the ideals/principles within it, but the power structure behind it...

conservatism at it's core is free market, small government, and upholding traditional institutions and values...

say the situation in America was flipped and black folks were now the majority and in power and cacs were only 13% of the population and at the bottom of the social hierarchy...a lot of us would be conservatives fighting against the progressive ideals of the chads and karens...

conservatism is essentially protecting the status quo so if black folks established the status quo, would we be so willing to disrupt it?

to answer your question tho, for sure there a smart black conservatives...the talking heads and political pundits aren't representative...but given how easily we're manipulated by mass media today they just may be...

too lazy to look up data, but i don't think it's a reach to say a good percentage of black business owners, doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. lean conservative for various reasons...

of course you have your c00ns in the mix but i'd also think you have a good amount of black folks that have seen enough success in their families, in their communities, and in their peer groups to feel like the system isn't setup for them to fail...

That is not what conservatism means at all

Conservatism has two groups of people

One where the law protects but does not bind and the other where the law binds but does not protect.

Thats the essence of "traditionalism" root of conservatism

If you are an "out" group, group without power. You are fukked by this ideology.

you may be right...i'm far from a political person, so i don't know the deeper meaning/history behind conservatism....just giving my perspective based on the knowledge i have...

Never. I had to kick one out of my house. One of my homies brought this nigerian breh to my house and he was straight up kicking fox news and breitbart nonsense

"Trump is far better than Obama in every single way" "Michelle obama is a tranny" "Trump is not a racist, people like you just like to play the race card" I had enough and kicked him out

shyt was wild to me. rhetorically, it was like listening to candace owens in flesh

Uncle tom isn't on the SC because of his brilliant legal mind or lack, He's there to provide cover for conservative/republicans racism, he's their "black friend"

From your experience, what types of black people are likely to c00n?

From my experience, black c00ns come from the following groups
1. Black people who grow up in impoverished conditions. So they subconsciously associate white with success and wealth and black with struggle and poverty. So they reject blackness.

2. Black people who grow up in mostly white, especially conservative, neighborhoods. c00ning becomes a way to fit in and they internalize all the self-hate and become full-blown c00n. Also black people who are in the military or law enforcement around right-wing white people

3. Black immigrants ( This is just my observation; I'm not starting a diaspora war)- Immigrants associate success/ assimilation with whiteness so they try their best to get to proximity with white people.

But if you were born a wealthy white male, you would be a fool NOT to be a conservative. On the same vein, You're a fool as a black person to be a conservative.

there are many who are book-smart, formally educated etc. but as you said their ideology, logic, etc. as it pertains to certain issues is severely flawed
