Q & A Session: Black Conservatives


Image from callofduty-8-modernwarfare-3.com
The intention of this post is have a virtual question and answer session with black conservatives. It is not intended to stereotype or label this group in any kind of way. Actually, it’s intended to have the opposite effect. I want for my blog readers to have a better understanding of this group. So please, if you are a black conservative, chime in and answer whatever questions you feel comfortable answering. And of course this is a blog; so please feel free to discuss whatever you want or critique the Q and A at the end. I may adjust questions accordingly. I encourage you to cut and paste the questions to make it easier on the reader. As long as the language is fairly appropriate, I will not delete or alter your comments in any way at all- that’s not what I do here. I’ll be conducting Q and A Sessions in the future for other groups as well. Please, you can comment on this post no matter who you are; but only answer the questions if you are truly a black conservative. Thanks in advance.

  2. Are you a registered voter?
  3. What’s your primary political party association? 
  4. Are you affiliated with the Tea Party? 
  5.  What state or region of the U.S. do you reside? 
  6. Do you own a firearm? 
  7.  How long have you considered yourself conservative?

  13.  If married, is your spouse black? 
  14.  What’s your religion? 
  15.  What’s your sexual orientation? 
  16.  Did you vote for Barack Obama in 2008?

Taking Our Country Back!

"White" and "Jim Crow" rai...Image via Wikipedia
I need help with this one. What do the teaparty people and conservatives really mean when they say this...we want our country back? Who has the country and who are they trying to take it back from? What era in American history do they want to take it back to...post civil rights, segregation, jim crow, slavery, new world (taking from the indigenous peoples)? What? Hey, maybe it's only as far back as the Reagan years. Let's Talk...
