You know that would stick in their crawl
Or Ben Carson, or Allen West, or Colin Powell (before he flip flopped back to liberalism)

But ofcourse they would have to endure persecution, alienation, and ostracizing from the black community for daring to be different.

See, we blacks aren’t allowed to be politically diverse like Hispanics, we’re only allowed to be monolithic.

Ben Carson has said the ACA was the worst thing to happen to the country since slavery. IOW, he's termed an attempt to make healthcare more available/affordable to Americans worse than a civil war, two world wars, the Korean war, the Vietnam war, 9/11, etc., etc., etc.

That'd be a HARD PASS to me.

Nah…that’s just particular to a certain group of conservatives. Plenty of black conservatives have no issues within the community.

It’s the ones who sound and act as if they hate their own people that get clowned. And i jump right on in and join in the merciless clowning too.

It's people like Jesse Lee Peterson that I can't be on board with. If you're Black and you have conservative views on morals and values, okay. However, if you focus on criticizing Black people, I can't get on board with that.
