More black people in this country would admit to their conservatism albeit for one thing.......
They live in fear of the white hating blacks who will call them a “white man’s boy” or a “coconut”.
They are afraid of being shunned by their own people. It’s a very powerful fear.
Like always. Just my opinion....

It's not just your opinion. That's dead-on accurate.
Most blacks hew toward the existent status quo, whatever it is at the time. Call it "a black thang", if you will, but it's real. There's a rigid orthodoxy of thought among American blacks that is as lemming-like as you'll ever find in a people.
I've been something of an iconoclast my whole life, and even before politics was important to me, I was taking flak from fellow blacks. That goes all the way back to childhood. I just never could follow the crowd.
My ‘tribe’ I left a long time ago when I realised they didn’t have my best interests at heart. All I’ve wanted is the same as everyone else, a shot so I can stand on my own feet. I don’t need you to watch after me I just need you to stay out of my way and let me do what needs to be done.
