Black pundits say that to be black and Republican makes one a despicable race-traitor worthy of no-holds-barred punishment. As a black conservative Republican, I'm not frightened by this; it just angers and frustrates me.
My frustration comes from the knowledge that those claiming to have black America's empowerment and best interest at heart are the “elephant-in-the-room” problem. They lie to black America. Who are “they”? They are democrats committed to keeping blacks viewing themselves as victims. They are racist bitter black politicians with huge chips on their shoulders, seeking eternal “payback” for America's original sin of slavery. These black politicians are rewarded by the democrats for delivering black votes.
So there you have it, black America: these are your so-called advocates. And how do they help you? They lie to you. They tell you that 70% of black youths dropping out of high school is not your fault. They tell you that prisons filled with black males is not their fault. They tell you that 80% of black kids growing up without a father is not your fault. They tell you that black genocide – half of black pregnancies ending in abortion -- is not your fault.
They tell you English is too difficult to learn and that standards must be lowered. They tell you that blacks who speak correct English are traitors trying to be white. They tell you that despite the fact that showing proper ID is required to board an airplane and a za-gillion other things, requiring ID to vote will disenfranchise blacks. Thus, their message is that blacks are too stupid to acquire ID.
When I was growing up in the black ghetto of east Baltimore, several corners had grocery stores owned by Jews. Later the Jews were replaced by Asians. Huge families lived upstairs, and their store was down stairs.
The community resented Jewish and Asian store owners in black neighborhoods. I always thought, “Why?” These people did not receive a start-up check from the government. They took a risk. They rented in the black ghetto because it was cheaper. They worked long hours. Experience taught them to install a wall of bullet proof glass, separating them from their customers. Fourteen, fifteen family members lived above their businesses. These Jewish and Asian people were pursuing the American Dream the best way they knew how. What was stopping their black customers from doing the same thing? Answer: In many cases, blacks were relying on democrat welfare programs.
I hear you – democrat brainwashed fellow blacks yelling at me: Lloyd, you Uncle Tom SOB! America is racist, and blacks did not have a fair shot in those days!
Yes, racism was an issue in those days. But how do you explain the entrepreneurial success of black millionaires in Harlem in the 1920s?
Blacks have been congressmen and business owners in America since the 1800s. And yet, democrats continue to tell us that we are incapable of finding our way to acquire an ID.
Democrats and bitter, small-minded blacks insist on forcing blacks into their “black box”. They say authentic blacks must have had a “ghetto experience”.
When the Bill Cosby Show first hit TV, it was highly criticized because the sitcom black father was a doctor and his family lived in a nice home. I heard the same criticism of Diahann Carroll in her TV sitcom, Julia in which she played a successful black nurse – not reflective of the black experience. The Cosby Show and Julia were outside of the democrat-promoted “black box”.
In my youth, I met a black Master Swordsman. Excited, I carted him around to black community centers because I wanted black kids to see that blacks could be successful in fields beyond entertainment and sports.
Despite blacks succeeding today in almost every area of American life, democrats continue to portray black Americans as still getting-the-short-end-of-the-stick. Democrats promote an image of the authentic black experience as a majority in need of government entitlements, as people who can't find their way to acquire ID – sitting at home watching Maury on TV, anxiously awaiting for the results of the DNA test to discover the name of Keysha's baby's daddy. This is the democrat's black America.
This is not black advocacy or empowerment. It is demeaning, humiliating and crippling. Why can't my fellow blacks see this obvious truth?
I am a Republican because the Republican Party respects my intelligence – no special concessions or lowered standards.
In the 1950's, my dad was one of the first blacks to break the racist color barrier into the Baltimore Fire Department. The white firefighters rejected my dad and made conditions horrific for him. Still, dad won “Firefighter Of The Year” two times. That's what I am talking about!
Given the opportunity, in their typical denigrating of black intellect, democrats would argue that requirements for Firefighter Of The Year be lowered to give my dad a “fair” shot at it. Lowered standards would have robbed dad of the dignity and pride of his achievement. Thank God such was not the case.
Dad, a black man, won Firefighter Of The Year because he was the best! Yes, I am a black conservative Republican and proud of it. All you blacks who think the democrats are your friends, wake up and smell the betrayal.

My father was a democrat and after he saw how the Democrat leaders, along with all the others who were following the lead of the Democrat party, he could not take it anymore and switched to Ronald Regan! At that time, he also became a Christian! He then said, I am ashamed for all the votes I gave to the Democrat party! He looked at th party from our town all the way to the White House and he said he could NOT find one that he was proud to say I helped that man or Woman get elected!!! We are seeing it now in this election how dirty it is becoming!! We are seeing it in our own party! Mitt Romney if you cannot win on your own, DO NOT TEAR APART THE OTHER REPUBLICAN TO WIN!! You have done that in almost every state you have won so far!!!! I wonder just how it would come out, if you would have spent that money on something useful, like feeding those who cannot find work!!! All of you unemployed and are voters, think about that! He spent MILLIONS ripping apart the other guy (REPUBLICAN)! I am REALLY ASHAMED OF THE WAYS OF MITT ROMNEY!!! I KNOW, I WILL BE RIPPED APART for feeling this way; however, I am ashamed of Mitt Romney!!!! We are just getting Started! My Personal best, I think is either Newt, or Rick. NOT MITT, Even George Soros says there is no difference between Mitt and Obama. You can find that on You Tube, Check it out!
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND I THINK OF ALL THOSE WHO CAME BEFOR ME AND DIED! We are handing our Country over on a gold platter!
Not much time now so I'll just say I watched David Barton's "American History In Black And White".
We are showing it publicly.
Unfortunate circumstances.
Most of us have experienced some kind of hate and discrimination at some time in our lives however if we stay focused on past bad experiences we will never aspire to anything better.
The Democratic party intentionally ignites the memories ( real or created) past bad experiences as a means to manipulate and enslave black and minority people yet they (the minorities) seem to have Stockholm syndrome as they usually sympathize and vote in the very party that victimizes them.
thank you Lloyd, we are of Irish , cherokee desent we grew up dirt poor, growing up as a kid , i can remember being told that i was nothing but white trash and that i would never amount to a hill of beans. you know i grew up believeing that. so i ended up on the street in alot of trouble back in the 60's. you know it took almost going to jail. for me to make up my mind that i had to turn things around, that i was playing right into peoples hand, i was being what people told me i would be. it took a long time but i developed an attitude that you tell me i can't do something and bye jolly i'll show you i can
