Black conservatism is as old as black enslavement, which has caused economic devastation for Blacks. Black conservatives represent a potential danger to their race because of their alignment with white conservatives, who have always been anti-black. When black-white conservative alignments occur, black conservatives become a liability to black and an asset to whites.

Black conservatives who place their personal advancements above the welfare of their race often gain significant benefits, recognition, approval, and access to power. They’re anointed by whites as leaders and touted as role models. Politically/socially, a black conservative is closely akin to ‘Sambo’ in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom's Cabin. Sambo was black America's worst nightmare. Sambo represents the extraordinary success of social control, which was the ultimate goal of a slavery conditioning process of social control that transplanted a white mindset into a black personality.
