Of course anyone can chime in but Minorities may be better positioned to give an answer to it. Again may be, not for sure are.

Do Black Republicans/Conservatives like Thomas, Scott and Walker have the wraped racial views about racism that they do because they have the libertarian attitude about race (“Well if someone wants to be racist that’s their issue, it’s not the government’s”) or are they so desperate for White acceptance that they turn their backs on issues of race just to please racists and/or racially aloof fools like Trump and Fox News viewers?

IMO, it’s a probably equally both.

Instead of having an opinion about what they think, you could read what those folks have written/said about what they think...

But nah...

(White person here.)

Your question is stated in a biased way that will invite biased responses.

Or neither, but of course this is not exactly an objective, honest question or anything.

Democrats use race for their own advancement, and black people have virtually received no benefit from them.

The advances made by us have been on our own, and not because of government.

Maybe you can share the specifics of what Democrats have done positively for black folk?

Tim Scott kind of speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Sometimes he talks about how he KNOWS racism being a black man in the south and even recants a story of being racially profiled by police. He will also dismiss specific references to racism.

He also dismisses when a Democrat talks about racism.

He's politically motivated.

That's what politicians do.

You can have an argument between two black individuals based on their experiences with police.
Well, of course.

You'd have to actually PAY ATTENTION to what an individual black person has to say about her/his politics. Rather than issue a blanket opinion. Which is my original point.

There was a black conservative on Joe Rogan whom I actually thought had good points and seemed genuine. He wasn’t just spewing RW talking points.
Can you give a couple of examples of what are RW Talking Points?

Maybe someone could chime in with a few LW Talking Points.
