As a matter of fact, conservatives force “real” blacks to make a false choice: to be black or conservative, as though we can’t be both.

Stopped reading right there. Total BS!

Yes, BS to the tenth degree.

I have black friends and family.

That statement is 100% true. A cousin of mine is black. He was adopted along with his sister by my cousins.

Growing up, they were made to choose. They could be black, and by black all the Jesse Jackson crap you can imagine, or they can spend their life as the Other between races.

My cousin chose to be a redneck, his sister chose to be a black liberal.

There is very little room to be black and non liberal. The community will not allow it in most places.
