Is that you, yourself? If so, I hope you don't mind my saying:
You go, girl!!
May the spotlight find you. May thousands of rising voices be added to you.

As this is more well known, people will stop stereotyping.

Thinking for yourself is an admirable quality.
You are not alone in your feelings. Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder should also be on your list because they also think for themselves.
Welcome to this site, the thickness of your skin will be more important here than the color of it.

Excellent. You didn't mention how much courage either black or Jewish conservatives NEED TO HAVE in political discussions with family and friends. There is a huge shaming institution that goes on. I frankly think there would be more of us if our relatives had the guts to stand up for what they believe. Most just want to be liked and agreed with, so they stick to the liberal talking points that are so easily found in any media source.

Great post, and welcome to Free Republic! African-American conservatives are some of the bravest people in America.

A bump and a big Welcome to FR! About time we had a bona-fide conservative newbie instead of our usually two-a-day newbie DU troll.

Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder should also be on your list because they also think for themselves.I thought the exact same thing. I really like Walter Williams beliefs, but I think Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder are better writers.
My only concern is the idea that: "She is (name a race), she'll like (name an writer of that same race.)"
I love Elder, Williams, Sowell not because they are black, but because of their intelligence, passion and clarity.
To: kimimac
It's very painful to resists peer pressure, particularly if it's instigated by the clintons. So painful infact, that if you resists, it could cost you your happiness, property, or worst. But my hat's is off to you, it appears you value your dignity, and self respect more than the risks. I wish you the best, and may more African Americans derive more courage by your example.

About time we had a bona-fide conservative newbie instead of our usually two-a-day newbie DU troll.Not to mention the newbies who come around pretending to be conservatives while advocating socialism or the ones who act like knuckle-draggers and say they are conservative in order to paint all conservatives in a bad light. The most recent are advocating nuking the world as if that was a conservative goal. I call it the "Archie Bunker strategy".
Management gets the out and out DU'ers right away, but seem to get taken in by the more crafty ones.

I love Elder, Williams, Sowell not because they are black, but because of their intelligence, passion and clarity. So do I. I mentioned their names in the context of her not being alone. She had her own short list of role models as well.
To: kimimac
Excellent, Kim. Wonderful! Really well written.
To: kimimac
Welcome to Free Republic, Kimimac! I appreciate the thoughts expressed in your article. It is regrettable that the predominant force in American media does not allow more socially conservative people, whether black or white, to express their views. One day, a more direct kind of force may be required to silence the voices of the leftist pinko fairies.
To: ThomasJefferson
Only a nagging thought. Remember, I thought the exact same thing.
To: kimimac
Good for you kimi. The issue is standards, not skin color. You can make these arguments without being called a racist. Thank you for doing it.
