Black people pay taxes. Is demanding that tax dollars go to HBCU a “give to me” proposition. Zin not understanding your argument. Voters vote to have things they want in their communities covered by their tax dollars. The other schools weren’t turning down funding.

I often point to the group of Black women funding Black female entrepreneurs. Conservatives object. How is the funding not individual agency?

Edit to add:

Conservatives have stereotypes, and cannot see Blacks outside of their bubbles as individuals. We are poor unthinking Blacks, trapped on the Democratic plantation. They have no knowledge of Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party or Black Democrats in South Carolina saying no to the Liberals who were choosing Bernie Sanders. Conservatives can’t understand why the Republican Party is not an option for most Black voters, so you tell us that we are brain dead.

Diamond & Silk? Seriously?

When Tim Scott and Byron Donalds were told not to criticize DeSantis, they very obediently shut up. They love life on the Republican plantation. As long as Conservatives cannot address the illness in the Republican Party, they will remain an afterthought in the Black community. The GOP is telling you what they plan to do if Trump is re-elected. Ban on is shouting the plan. Conservatives remain mute.

The Black community won’t bend the knee.
