I'm conservative in many areas of my life. I'm christian, not for abortion, believe in the second ammendment and all that stuff. But I believe in being conservative only in your personal life. I dont think my beliefs based on my personal experience and my faith should be dictated on everyone in this country. And more personally I dont know why some people seem to be republican only if they got money. And my biggest problem with the Republicans are yes Black Republicans. Now i have nothing against those who are conservative in nature. And I actually respect Michael Steele but he is one of the few. My thing about black republicans not black conservatives is they mostly seem to be people who were born poor and got into a good school left their old neighborhood and since that seem to believe they made it by themselves and everyone else can. First of all, that is the dumbest clique in the world-You can be whatever you want in America. Bullshit...why are people homeless, why do some schools have no textbooks and leaky ceilings, why do people keep losing jobs but college tuitons keep going up, why doesnt everyone have healthcare(but those are another story). But my other problem with black republicans is their need to go against black people on every issue. It seems to me that black republicans have such a need to be accepted by white republicans that they forget where they came from and their common sense. I dont understand how black people could say that Obama is a terrorist or wasnt born in this country or he is a thug. How can you say that when you know the historical implications of those stereotypes.Now if you disagree with obama about spending and things like that I can understand. But to resort to ignorant generalizations to be on tv and to be different only hurts black people. And the main reason I dont like Black Republicans is the need for them to dismiss racism all the time even when there are valid examples. But thats why I dont hate Michael Steele. Yeah he seems to dance and act like a chicken for some of the republican staples(Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and rest of the gang at Fox News). But every now and then MIchael Steele slips up and says some real shit. Last week, in an interview on TV One( a black owned channel, what BET would be like if it was run by black people....yeah I said it) Roland Martin stated, "White Republicans have seem scared of black folks" and Steele responded, "You're absolutely right.I've been in the room, and they're scared of me," Steele said. "I'm like, 'I'm on your side." Now I'm sure he is gonna back away from that but that allowed me to see something. Black republicans cant really believe this shit. Michael Steele doesnt think racism doesnt exist or shit like that he just thinks he has to do that to be accepted. Its like when Booker T Washington said that blacks dont need political power or civil rights but they needed trade schools and jobs first. Washington and Steele are just playing the game the way they think it will help them the most. But they also dont see the effects of them doing that. For some reason people think that one person represents an entire group of people. So when they heard Washington say that blacks didnt need the rights guarenteed to all citizens in the constituiton people thought that he spoke for all black people. And when people hear black people say that the only thing that makes a kid growing up in the hood not suceed is themselves people believe it. They accept it as fact. And black people are more than just what the media portrays us as. We are not all drug dealers, pimps, rappers, janitors, athletes, ignorant, lazy, stupid, good dancers, and all the other things we get labeled as. more later lol
