Nice to read a piece about black conservatives without seeing Alan Keyes' name.

Black conservative ping

Its been a long time coming. Sharpton and co must now take notice. They are NOT the representatives of the black community. We are individuals and we represent ourselves.
We've come a long way baby!

Black, red, yellow, brown, purple - I DON'T CARE.

(This RINO REVOLUTION is about to kill us all.)

Just give me some conservatives!

2004 was a bad year for African-American Republicans. Herman Cain, Dylann Glenn, and Vernon Robinson lost their Congressional races in the GOP primaries. If Republicans wish to increase their share of the African-American vote, then they must recruit qualified blacks to run in safe GOP districts. Too often, the RNC recruits blacks to run against black RAT incumbents in ultra safe RAT districts. As result, such GOP candidates receive little funding and are treated as "jokes" by everyone. Such actions only reinforce the idea that conservatives don't like black folks. If white conservatives want black voters, then they should be treating black conservatives with respect. In fact, I suspect having Ken Blackwell as the lone black statewide office holder in OH may have contributed to Bush's increase among OH's black community.

"African-Americans respond well to conservatives who are not just there on election eve or election day, but who are in the trenches with them."

Bears repeating.

[hinckley buzzard]

"Polls show African-Americans still hold a dogged allegiance to the Democratic Party,"

Especially the aged demographic who are about 100% 'rat.
They are passing day by day, and just by that alone the percentage of open minded Black voters is increasing.

Now it's up to the GOP and us to show up and let Black America know they're wanted in the party and have something to give and something to gain.

We can complain all we want about the 'rats campaigning in Black churches, but it's a fact of life and GOP politicians should be doing everything they can to be there too. It's where the voters are! And we have a more legitimate message including support of faith-based initiatives and support of traditional virtues like responsibility.

. President Bush has helped legitimize black conservatives

What were they before, Illegitimate?

This line gives me the impression that the author really thinks if you're black you should be a Democrat.

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
