How to Perform Effective Black Outreach by Understanding Black History and Knowing the Reasons Behind the Voting Bloc Shift

Greetings Beloved,

Welcome to My Beloved News, the #1 newsletter that delivers 100% accurate insight into securing conservative victories using effective Black Outreach.

Before I jump into this lesson, I want to invite you and a guest to meet me in-person in Atlanta, GA this coming October 2023. I will be hosting the 1st Annual Conscious Conservative Leadership Convention to help Conservatives like you activate as content creators, chapter representatives, evangelists, campaign development managers, and conservative candidates.

You will experience 3 full days of leadership development in the conservative political space. Sessions include building your political platform, networking with key leaders and influencers, applying spiritual laws for your success, and much more!

Our event is sponsored by The Felecia Killings Foundation and our affiliate organizations, whose focus is investing conservative politics in Black communities nationwide.

​VIP Ticket Holders will receive signed, print copies of The Conscious Conservative Deluxe Book Collection. In addition, you will receive lifetime access to our CCM Think Tank, which contains valuable courses that provide more training to help you activate in 2023.
​
Don't miss this exciting time to receive my direct coaching in person.

The Fifteen 20 Rise Formula: Why Evangelism Matters

I don't know why this is so, but my conservative activism has led me to several Conservatives who believe the Republican Party has no obligation or responsibility to evangelize in Black communities. Several on the base have argued that Black Americans need to come to the Party and show interest in it, despite both political agencies working to appeal to other demographics.

Such nonsense is one of the reasons I backed away from helping the base win, because I realized it is not ready for whatever "Blexit" it claims to be championing.

As with anything that must be sold, effective evangelism or persuasive communication strategies are necessary to win over any voting bloc. For example,
​

• Republicans evangelize to White Christian Conservatives.
• Republicans evangelize to White farmers.
• Republicans evangelize to Latino communities.

But Republicans will not evangelize to Black Americans. Yet, they insist Black Americans are "slaves on a plantation" for voting Democrat. A legitimate criticism is, "If you're not present in Black areas, how else are Black Americans supposed to vote for you?" But I suppose such logic is too deep for the GOP nationwide.

Since bringing my activism to Twitter in 2019, I'm proud to say I've seen more Conservative Candidates apply the lessons I (and other conscious influencers) have delivered. They recognized how the GOP's ridiculous marketing tactics have not work, and many have made adjustments themselves as they seek political offices in the local areas. 

It's hard to scream at the general base when things are changing; and I can only expect more to follow in their footsteps as we seek to ensure conservatism remains the dominant ideology in America.

​For this reason, I'd like to share what I call "The Fifteen 20 Rise Formula for Effective Outreach." After engaging in research and studying the political landscape via social media, it's clear that with a new approach to Black outreach, the conservative base will be prepared to welcome a new breed of Conscious Black Conservatives, who have the power to reach Black voters.

(Note: This lesson is a chapter in The Fifteen 20 Rise. It has been republished on the blog for your empowerment.)

1. Know History ... Black American History

Let's begin with the basics. 

To understand current politics, Conservatives must know history.

To understand Black politics, Conservatives must know Black history.

Again, this is only if the base is ready to accept a flood of Conscious Black Conservatives, who believe strongly in conservative values and will elect politicians who serve our best interests.

Black history is not separate from American history. In fact, Black history serves as a pillar in American history. No other ethnic group in this country has endured systemic oppression as Black Americans; and in modern times, Black Americans continue confronting policies that stifle their constitutional rights (i.e. "Stop and Frisk").

​When Conservatives say racism is non-existent, or that Black people should ignore their history, they reinforce the notion that Conservatives hate Black people. I don't care if you happen to be that one Conservative who "isn't racist." Your Party and your platform push the narrative that Black people (their history, their struggle) do not matter to you. 

The Conservative base makes light of current events and racial oppression, which happens at the hands of Democratic leaders; and it tells Black people, "Racism really isn't a problem." Couple such rhetoric with Republicans' unwillingness to be present in Black communities, and you see why Black people feel completely abandoned in the political fight.

What we see currently happening is the direct result of history moving forward. And until you're brave enough to study what took place centuries ago, you can never expect to reach more Black voters with authentic conservatism.

2. Understand the Voting Bloc Shift

Now we come to the more specific issues; and this point goes back to the first one: knowing Black history.

Many Conservatives have asked me, "Felecia, why do Black voters continue voting for Democrats who have harmed them?" And my response is simple: "Have you studied the shift in the voting bloc?" Nine times out of ten, Conservatives reply, "No."

Within the conservative camp, there is the pervasive narrative that the political parties never switched. The camp calls it a myth; and in a previous lesson within The Fifteen 20 Rise, I argued that no ideological shift happened; but clearly, the voting bloc did and for good reason.

A person need only study the historical context surrounding:

1. The rise in Progressivism among Black Americans
2. The Lily White Movement among the Republican Party
3. The Civil Rights Era of the 1960s (and how Democratic leaders supported some initiatives)

Many Black Americans are issue-based voters; and if a Party seeks not to address their political issues, Black voters will not vote for that party.

In recent decades, Democrats have marketed themselves as the party of the people. They are the party that will fight for the rights of the underclass. They have strategically positioned themselves to be political voices against the majority-White Republican Party that pushed Black voters out during the 1900s.

To understand the current Black voting bloc, you need to see how Republicans were equally complicit in alienating Black voters; and when you put in context the current GOP's marketing tactics, it's no wonder the majority of Black Americans want nothing to do with conservative politics.

But that all can change, and I’ve proven it can be done in Georgia.

In my newest release, How We Did It, I documented the CCM’s effective Black Outreach, which influenced a solid conservative victory against one of the most renown political figures today: Stacey Abrams.

The strategies I’ve shared over the last few years worked.

And now I am ready to invest that same training to Conservatives across the nation who want to engage effectively this next round.

​Will you be among them, Beloved?
