I very proudly wore the label "Black Conservative" in the 90s. I fit rather neatly into Glenn's first and third categories--especially the third.
But as we all know, the term conservative has morphed into something quite different. Much like the GOP, it is highly associated with Trumpism. It is no longer about an economic or governing philosophy. It's mostly a mentality, or even an attitude. It's "MAGA". A paleoconservative #PatBuchanan (minus the intellect) worldview.
Revanchist is a good word. "Take our country back!" etc.
Ironically, foreign policy hawks were called conservatives back in the day. But not nowadays.
Free market capitalism was a hallmark of conservatism in the 90s. But not nowadays.
White nationalism was generally discouraged at the top levels of the GOP in the 90s. Can't say that in 2024.
Like Glenn and John, I am opposed to policies like race-based affirmative action. I am even more opposed to the mindset that leads us to such policies.
I hate when people exaggerate the effects of racism on the average African-American. I hate when people assume that because you're Black you probably believe in X or Y.
These are the things that make me sound "conservative" to a lot of people. But in truth, no one hates Trumpism more than I do.
Glenn, you are conservative enough for this yid-honky. We were all liberals once back when civil rights meant promoting love and unity between black and white americans. Now the left glorifies blame games that actually promote racial division and hate. It all began with Marxist lies and false propaganda in the academy, infected and funded and amplified by traditional Muslim antisemitism and the false association of Zionism with colonization. There is thus liberal support for terror and the obsession of certain clerics to destroy Israel and kill or cleanse the jew from the middle east. At its core, the Nuevo-progressive ideology reflects shame and envy and jealousy about the deep weakness of many nonwestern societies, and their inability to resist western colonization or to adapt to the modern world.
Loury comments repeatedly about Kendi. Then he mentions Coates and Jones. He does not comment on the disgusting presentation of Diamond & Silk and Herschel Walker. We even had the Shucky-Ducky of Herman Cain. You think that Blacks weren’t offended by the Conservative stereotypes of Blacks?
