As a graduate of Oral Roberts University, I was blessed to spend a lot of time with Oral Roberts himself.
Roberts repeatedly told me, “Go into every man’s world and meet them at the point of their need.”
He was referring to Christians evangelizing throughout the world. We Christians cannot wait for people seeking God to stumble into our churches. Rather, Christians must go to them and invite them to join our movement.
In a similar manner, conservatives must go!
They must go to black entrepreneurs. They must go to black parents. They must go to black preachers.
No more buffoonery. No more Stepin Fetchit. No more minstrel shows.
Blacks don’t need to be persuaded or convinced about conservative values. Blacks are the most conservative group in the country and have been for most of America’s existence.
Conservatives must start financially supporting legitimate, credible black organizations and individuals who have standing within the black community.
Conservative groups must form strategic partnerships with these credible black groups and individuals.
Far too often, conservatives attempt to address issues publicly that are of particular interest to the black community, but with not one credible black person on the platform with them.
Do conservatives not realize the optics of having a white person who has no standing in the black community attempt to address racial issues?

You’re an idiot. Wait, that’s an insult to idiots everywhere.
Argumentation eludes you.
“Blacks are socially conservative”
Really? With 70% plus illegitimacy rates? High rates of abortion? Voting democrat almost exclusively? How many black children grow up with their black father showing them how to live?
Shame, and possibly different among middle class blacks. Friends in Africa tell me modern American inner city black culture wouldn’t cut it in Africa. At all.
Thieves help themselves to whatever they like.
And God helps them to find the hangman.
What always seems to be missing in all these discussions of different ethnic groups is that we are all brothers and sisters who bleed the same color.
Too many of “us” seem to tend not to think for ourselves.
The Republic is doomed to failure and will remain so until we stop thinking of each other as hyphenated Americans.
I thought that for years and then heard Bobby Jindel (sp) ex-Gov. of La. say those same words in a speech.
Yeah, in the 1950’s!
Not so much today especially with the younger generation.
They are damaged no question. THey need ministering to, not condemnation. Trust me, if the Democrats did to whites what they did to blacks, we would be damaged the same way.
Would you want Christians to condemn us for our failings, for what happened to us or to minister to help bring us back up to where we once were?
This is why Detroit is so conservative..
I think the author is deluding himself. A lot of the black community think first and foremost of their race. There’s no way to appeal to such people without being racist.
No disagreement from me...
This is a flat out lie. Sure, as in every group of people, some break with the massive leftward tilt of the "black community," but the majority have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats since at least the 1960's. Blacks welcomed the welfare state with open arms. Blacks allowed the Democrats to craft laws that essentially destroyed black families. Blacks enable 100% of the pathologies that afflict their lives and neighborhoods, and always look to the Democrats to shovel money and privileges to them as bribes for their votes. There is nothing conservative about the blacks' slavish devotion to socialist/communist Democrats, and I use the word slavish deliberately.
The author lost me when he praised that con artist Oral Roberts.
“The gods help those who help themselves” was in Aesop’s Fables.
Done with you. You’re not worth the time.
Massa Democrat is doing everything he can to make sure black CAN’T leave the urban plantation.
There is more than one way to enslave a person. One is to work the person without pay, which Democrats were doing in the 1800s. Another is to pay the person without work, which is how Democrats do it today.
The Democrats’ view of minorities hasn’t changed since the day the party was founded almost 200 years ago. The only thing that has changed is the color of the hoods.
What about “What conservatives are too afraid, or not allowed, to say about the Black Community”?
There is a very slow movement of blacks toward the Republican party. President Trump in 2016 got twice the percentage of black votes that Romney had received in 2012, then he increased his previous percentage by another one quarter in 2020.
Ancient Greece is the origin of the concept. Sophocles wrote in Philoctetes (c. 409 BC), “No good e’er comes of leisure purposeless; And heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act.” Although the exact saying as we know it today is not in the Bible, there are multiple passages that essentially mean the same thing. The concept is also found in other religions, which only makes sense since industriousness is always seen as a virtue and laziness seen as a fault.
This sounds a little backwards...
Oh. Like the white people involved in Black Lives Matter doing "their part" to "address" racial issues?
