Dear Friends,
It seems to me the politically bravest people in the US today are black conservatives. Vitriol is heaped upon them without regard to any humanity whatsoever. The unbiased media use thinly veiled racial epithets while the progressives forward every negative stereotype against them. Even in the black community, I am taken to understand, black conservatives are threatened and pilloried. The lot of the black conservative is hard at best and being made harder by the direction our political elite are moving society.
Don’t think that you don’t have a dog in this race… because you do. Our primary attribute, is that we are all human beings, so what is done to one of us, could be done to any of us. If we turn a blind eye to a blatant injustice, we not only become complicit in the crime, but become the perpetrator’s possible next victims. To think that, someone else’s secondary attribute makes them more likely too suffer an ill, is epically stupid.
Look at the way Clarence Thomas was treated by the unbiased press as well as the political elite. They conspired to promote the most negative racial stereotype against him to derail his nomination for Supreme Court Justice. They threw filth at the man, that had so little basis in reality, even the coordinated action of the unbiased media and the political elite, couldn’t keep it corporeal. Clarence Thomas got a thumbs up from the Senate, despite the blatantly underhanded means the progressives used, to keep him off.
Why do you suppose it is, that black conservatives are so dangerous to the progressives that they will cross any bridge and burn that bridge behind them, to personally destroy a black conservative? Going to such an extent they will undermine every one of their stated principles and objectives in doing so? The evidence is incontrovertible. So why? I believe the black conservative represents an existential threat to the progressive ideology and power. That’s why no limit is ever set… when attacking a black conservative.
Until the 1960’s blacks in America were a concrete voting block for the republican party. Reams of articles were written about the dangers of a race in America being so decisively behind a single party. The deeper problem the democrats had back then, was that they uniformly stood against voting rights for blacks, they enforced segregation, democrats were the party of slavery before the Civil War. It had been the republicans who led the suffrage movement, had liberated the slaves, and voted against segregation. But Lyndon Johnson successfully flipped the old paradigm to the modern one we see today. One where blacks in America almost universally vote democrat. Black conservatives pose a threat to this new paradigm simply by their very existence let alone if their message is ever heard!
What it boils down to however, is that republicans and conservatives need to do a much better job at rallying around black conservatives, when they come under fire. The democrats have no problem rallying around the pedophile who was getting free trips to the Dominican Republic to hire child prostitutes. The democrats have no problem supporting this dirt bag, but if a progressive makes even the most absurd claim against a black conservative, the republican establishment runs away like he or she has bubonic plague. Perhaps because most of the elite in the republican party are progressives at heart?
Until republicans start doing their job, promoting conservative/libertarian values, and defending themselves and their allies, the democrats will keep winning elections. Our republic is threatened by this absurdity. Blacks and Latinos are a natural voting bloc for libertarian and conservative values. It is the job of the republican party to explain how these things work and why we need them. Tossing black conservatives to the side shows disdain for them and is as self defeating as it is witless.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
