 Greetings Beloved,In this new lesson, I provide Conservatives historical context that proves why Conscious Black Conservatism is the only philosophy that will destroy the ongoing animosity we see among each other.

 Greetings Beloved,Today's political climate continues stirring racial animosity between Black voters and White Conservatives. In this article, I dive into a better solution for handling educational topics that often conflict with our conservative values.
 Greetings Beloved,For Black Americans today, we have a unique culture and experience. Our history binds us together, even if we live in different parts of the country. For this reason, you will see many of us call each other brothers and sisters, although we may not be related by blood.
 Greetings Beloved,If you take a moment to digest Sonnie Johnson's content, you hear her say repeatedly, "The Civil Rights Era is DEAD! Something else will fill the vacuum." And I would like to expound upon that statement here.
Most of us are familiar with the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. We are familiar with their grassroots, civil rights work and how their presence proved influential to Black Americans in some way. In a former lesson, I taught why, for many folks, Sharpton is an icon because he brings Black stories to mainstream audiences. Like him or not, if a Black mother witnesses the police brutalizing her son, she can count of Sharpton to give that story attention. Jackson and Sharpton are just examples of what we mean by Civil Rights Era politics: the idea that Black Americans continue to strive for civil liberties that other Americans exercise freely. And we have to ask ourselves, is there any civil issue left to fight for? Are Black Americans still fighting for the rights to life, liberty, and happiness? Are Black Americans still considered second-class citizens in this country? Are Black Americans overwhelmingly confronted with overt racism that prevents them from achieving success? Some folks would argue, "Yes," and if you follow the ADOS Movement, they will deliver tangible issues that still must be addressed. But for those of us on the other side of this fight, we must ask, "What are we fighting for?" We aren't fighting to sit in the front of the bus. We aren't asking to sit in the same restaurants as White people. We aren't asking for the right to vote. So, what is the purpose of today's Black Conservative Movements? What causes are we fighting? And what are the results we desire? Certainly if you turn to the mainstream punditry class, who -- again -- hate reading history books, you would see the goal is simply to get Black voters to vote Republican. Now, they will pretend like that isn't the goal, but it is. They lie to the public because they know the public reads at an elementary level. They say whatever they want to the public just to get buy-in. Mainstream Conservatives have one mission, and that is to keep in power the folks who are already present. Anything to maintain Lily White-ism. But if you turn to the grassroots Black Conservative Movements, you will see something different. I'm talking about movements like Hotep Nation, Empower America, and Conscious Black Conservatism. These works have no desire to pander Republicanism to Black voters. Instead, we focus on values and what they bring to our communities at large. Very rarely do you hear us speak about the same Civil Rights issues that Progressives push, that is unless we need to teach history to explain current events. But every movement has a motive. Every movement seeks outcomes. And with the rise in this newer political space, younger leaders are asking for more than Civil Rights Era politics. |
