As A Conservative Black Man I Just Do Not Get Any Respect
« on: January 02, 2013, 04:45:54 PM »
I have been on a couple of boards but these liberals will not accept me because I am a conservative.  They call me Uncle Tom and stuff like that.

So I thought I would try this one.

As a proud conservative African American--I just don't get any respect.

Welcome, XY.

FYI, there is an introduction forum. You may want to open a thread there and discuss why/how liberals won't accept a black conservative. Maybe a few details would be in order.

Boosey & Co. Imperial Euphonium, built in 1941
Edwards B454 bass trombone, built 2012

Hmmm...

The libs I work with say that a black conservative is just a myth.  I want to believe, I want to believe...

Ahoy.....welcome aboard    :texas:

I'm sure there are a lot more black conservatives out there than we know about.  They are like the conservatives in Hollywood, keeping it to themselves.  In today's ugly climate, it's understandable.

Well, they would accept you if you "knew your place" and didn't get "uppity".

But once you cut through your chains and leave the plantation, you're through.

Around here, though, you can be anything you want from a lily-white sissy-fag Maoist to a Black Conservative to a redneck anarchist, and as long as you stick to substance, you'll get a fair hearing.  Naturally, conservatives of any color get the best treatment.

As an aside (and anyone who knows may answer), is it true that the Dred Scott decision is still on the books, having been superseded only by the 13th Amendment?

Welcome.

I have been fortunate to know many Black conservatives over the years, courtesy of the US Army. How did you come by your conservatism?

Well, don't apply for a job at WBT radio....they fired black conservative radio talk show host Vince Coakley.

Welcome, XYiftah!  There are some great boards on this site that discuss many things.  I have to warn you, though.  Stay away from a poster named Smilin' Jack; he's a punkass, racist piece of shit that thinks minorities are the ruination of this country.  He claims to have left but we know he still hangs around.

 ;)
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Ann Coulter said something like, "If I were a racist I would be a Democrat."

And that is pretty much how I feel.
