Should more black people be conservative?
Being a conservative in and of itself is upholding tradition and keeping values intact. It is never specified which traditions or values are being upheld and as time advances, things do change. It is clear that "family first" is the foundation though. I was talking to my brother about this and we both agree that conservatism in and of itself is separate from republican just as liberal is separate from democrat. Both reps and dems are just voting classes who try to cater to one or the other without actually doing anything for either. Conservatives put their family and direct community first and it seems liberals put their family second to the greater good.
I was raised very conservative when I look back on my life. I was raised by a couple who is married, where my father worked and my mother took care of us and the house. She focused on gardening, cooking, housekeeping, and making sure we were learning and growing in appropriate circles. My father was the leader and protector of the household and my mother would always go to him before making any larger decisions. Our family as a whole is very close and tight-knit. We look out for each other and we make sure the community we lived in and myself as well as my brothers grew up in was safe.
I think white people and white supremacy muddied the waters and made being conservative a dirty thing. They made being traditional and having a strong family unit a dirty thing to a lot of people. I think we should reclaim it. After all, our people at one time had a stronger economy, stronger churches, and stronger family units not that long ago.
