Allen West hosts Conservative Black Forum at the Capitol

My heart breaks this video only has 7,554 views...if my fellow FREEPers have anyone on their email list who thinks all blacks are liberal, ask them to watch.

Look, this takes on the Republican party for their failures, too...but overall, the message is this: conservatism is a better home for all Americans--including blacks--than liberalism.

Very interesting point by KCarl Smith...he says he doesn't use the term "conservative" when he talks to fellow blacks because the word "conservative" has bad connotations for blacks. The reason, he says, is because "conservative DEMOCRATS" were the ones who fought against civil rights.

The term KCarl Smith uses, which he says means the same thing as what we mean when we say "conservative" is this: "Frederick Douglass Republican".

Oh, here is a quick rundown of the agenda I got from Star’s website:

Other topics discussed:

— Perception vs. reality when it comes to black conservatism.
— Urban issues in the 21st Century.
— The black church and state.
— The true history of civil rights.
— Conservative principles in the black community.
— GOP outreach to black conservatives.

Next year, West can start a CCBC.....Conservative Congressional Black Caucus....<{>
West, SC’s Tim Scott, and Utah’s Mia Love..

[SoFloFreeper]

An amazing thing happens about 1 hour, 15 minutes in...this is when the Q&A begins.

Democrat Emmanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus and the only liberal who bothered to show up at the meeting, gets an earful from people in the audience—blacks—who are pro-life and are demanding he help stop abortion and funding for Planned Parenthood.
