The MSM and Democratic Party viciously and relentlessly block any and all patriotic black voices from the main stage – that is, anyone touting achieving success and wealth the old-fashioned way, via education, hard work, and morally right choices.
And we know they attempt to silence such voices because their mission is not to empower blacks, but rather to further their big-government socialist/progressive agenda.
That is perfectly true - but what and why is "their big-government socialist/progressive agenda?” IMHO that gets closer to the fundamental point. Start with what that agenda is not:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena
The agenda we oppose is precisely the opposite of that; that agenda is to discredit “the man in the arena” who actually does things, in order to claim superior credit to that which “the man in the arena” gets for his hard work and his assumption of risk and responsibility.

The journalist’s natural inclination as a reporter of bad news is to criticize. That by itself is sufficient to explain the typical journalist's political tendency. The socialist politician simply takes the path of least resistance in making common cause with journalism.

The bottom line is that the journalist, the “liberal” politician, and the “liberal” voter all join together in a pity party of envy of the person with diligence, initiative and self-control. In that context a black conservative is a party popper.

Summary of my #59:
Journalists and “liberal” politicians are engaged in a pity party of envy.

To “liberals,” any black conservative is a party pooper.
