In light of the landslide victory of Obama, and basically what amounts to a national repudiation of the conservative agenda, what does it mean to be a Black conservative nowadays?
A lot of Black conservatives voted for Obama. Colin Powell endorsed him, teared up for him and still calls himself a republican.
Most Black Americans are socially conservative. You may be surprised.
Honestly, to me, Black conservative just means: "I had a hard time growing up and being black, and I want to distance myself from niggas as much as possible".
Black conservatives are niggas who got a little wealth and felt that entitled them to rub elbows with the good white folks (who still see them as niggas)and adopt their bullshit principals of the "good ole boy network".

Bingo.
When Politicians want to pander to the Black voting public, where do they go? BLACK CHURCHES
So why is it so difficult for people to link Black with conservative?
Same mistake the gays made in California.

I think people are confusing social conservative sentiments for political conservatism.

Some elections are about Social issues, some are about the economy.
My mother told me her pastor, who doesn't believe Blacks should be 95% democrats, was trying to bring up Woe v Wade, Prayer in school, gay marraige and other social issues that Republicans usually support to sway a few to rethink their message.
It didn't work.
I honestly think Blacks should be independents and make all parties beg for our support.
Because, the true basis of American Conservatism is: Separation of wealth (wealth in the hands of a few with a larger gap between the have and have nots), and No government regulation (to continue dirty business with immunity). All the other bullshit they say they believe (pro life, anti-gun control, capitalism, etc) is just a smoke screen to get the vote of naive common people to continue to support and to practice of their core values which are get money at any cost and keep money at any cost! And those core values do not include black folks. No matter how hard you try, Conservative whites will never see themselves as equals with conservative blacks!
