Listen now | This episode is a message to white conservatives with a platform who are using their influence to attack Dr. Martin Luther King and/or Black History Month while simultaneously presenting themselves as people who want to expand the conservative movement or the Republican Party. Regardless of how anyone feels about either of these observances, is it wise for white conservatives, such as Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh, to use these celebrations to alienate black people, whom they supposedly want to reach with their message?
I enjoyed what you had to say. My belief is black people are by nature conservative but don't want the republican label. I like Matt Walsh and I am neutral on Charlie Kirk. Like libs many conservatives write then post before they stop and think. I think they are mostly trying to build their brand and get more like. What Kathy Barnette would call "click bait" conservatives. There are conservative blacks who believe the same thing and have said the same thing but they are never heard or are shouted down by blacks and whites alike. I'm all for free speech as long as you're ready for the blow back that comes with it. As far as bring more minorities to the republican party, white savior syndrome is not the way to accomplish that.
I enjoyed reading your response, Cecil. I agree black people tend to lean conservative--at least socially. Well, actually, many may have veered away because of the sad shift in culture, but overall, I agree the inclination tends to be toward social conservatism. Like you, I believe in free speech. My goodness, though, it's important to mix that with some wisdom! Many a person exercising free speech has stuck his foot in his mouth. LOL!
