The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
January 1, 2020 by Jeff Charles
It is a new year, and a new decade. Changes are occurring in American politics. The Democratic Party is currently embroiled in a heated war between the establishment and far-left progressive factions. The Republican Party is also caught in a conflict between its own establishment and those who want to bring change.
But there is another evolution occurring, especially on the right, one that has gone largely unnoticed until now. This change is happening in the realm of the black conservative movement with a growing number of right-leaning black Americans pushing for a change in GOP and the overall conservative movement. In essence, they are a new breed of black conservatives, and if their efforts are successful, it could make an immense mark on the nation’s political landscape.
If you have read my work regarding the conservative movement’s relationship — or lack thereof — with the black community, you have seen some of the ideas we espouse. Our message differs from that of the traditional black conservative establishment in that it emphasizes a different view of, and approach to, the black community. We recognize that the messaging strategies used by the black conservative establishment, though well-intentioned, have been woefully impotent when it comes to reaching black American voters. It is time for a new approach.
So what does this look like?
It looks like conservatives talking about blacks as people deserving of dignity instead of treating them as mentally inferior. It means seeing them as fellow Americans instead of slaves on a fictional plantation. It means emphasizing truth over narrative and seeking a genuine understanding of those we wish to reach instead of relying on lazy stereotypes and meaningless platitudes. It means not being limited by the statistics the media selects for us and digging deeper to understand the true issues facing the black community. We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left, but we also do not discount its impact as many do on the right.
Instead of a conservative movement that relies on talking points and narratives lacking nuance, the new black conservative movement seeks to foster a holistic understanding of the black community. This means promoting a real understanding of the black community, its culture, and its history. Rather than holding events that are ostensibly tailored to reaching black voters, but are attended by mostly non-blacks, we wish to see the Republican Party, right-leaning media, and conservative organizations engage directly with black Americans in their communities.
We favor an approach that involves up-close conversation and discourse instead of the mindless repeating of banal platitudes about Chicago’s homicide rates from a distance. The non-establishment black conservative wants to sell the virtues of conservative policies that promote free enterprise rather than only bashing socialism.
Our focus isn’t just on Trump and the presidency; it is on winning black voters at the local and state levels, and in the legislative branch. We’re more likely to favor an organization like the Empower America Project, which is training minority and women candidates to run for office, over a group like Blexit, which has failed to reach black Americans because it still uses the traditional black conservative messaging strategy.

There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.
Now these are black conservatives I can work with or even become a part of.
Mainly because they offer whites things and try taking things from blacks. You are wrong about democrats and your opinion is what the black conservatives in the OP is talking about. As long as you talk like this, you can forget about blacks becoming republicans. Your observation is wrong because those cities are run by democrats because republicans run and lose. You talk about cities while I live in a state ruined by republican policies.Why should they offer them anything at all?...What have Republicans offered black communities other than prisons ?
Democrats are no better in their treatment of Blacks... they're just more subtle about it than their Republican counterparts.
" Vote Democrat !!! Come out and vote !!! We need you !!! Strength in numbers !!! "
And then the inner-city urban-plantation Black Folk vote (D) just like they were told to do.
And, once the Dems win, they go on their way, and ignore the Black folk for another four years, until they need 'em again at the polls.
Oh, Dems will "offer" ( lure / bribe ) Blacks with a few more goodies, but that just increases the Terrible Dependency in the long run.
One need look no further than any large-scale city controlled for decades by Democrats to know the profound truth of that observation.

Pure delusion... they are statistically insignificant, or so close to it that it makes very little difference....You make sense and I think that the black conservatives could be the ones that burn down the current republican party.
No! It would make sense though to burn Canada down. Dumbass.Exactly. That's what blacks keep telling them and it is certainly what these black republicans are doing.Until now, Black Conservatives were expected to act like Uncle Toms, spouting Conservative blame the victim rhetoric.
If the Republican Party really wants to attract blacks, they have to abandon their “plantation” rhetoric and stop their support of the Deplorables
Wouldn't it make more sense to burn the Republican Party down and start over with a party which wasn't cobbled together on a foundation of racism? The Ronald Reagan coalition welcomed Dixiecrats and racists of all stripes because Reagan was smart enough that he couldn't win without them. He pitted rural whites against urban black, declaring ketchup a vegetable for school lunches and railed against inner city "welfare queens" popping out babies to increase their income.
Republicans have betrayed everything that conservatives stand for: expanding the size of government, not shrinking it; running huge, fiscally irresponsible deficits. Their fiscal policies have now crashed the economy during three of the last four times they've held the White House, and the Reagan tax code created the biggest transfer of wealth in world history - all of it upward.
The whole party is toxic to minorities, women, religious minorities and gays. Even mainstream Christians are poorly served by Republicans. If you're not a straight white male, Repubicans have nothing for you. Even worse, they'll see your membership as a validation of their toxic white male agenda.
That is your opinion....You are wrong about democrats...
Because you do not post the entire sentence."We emphasize truth over narrative … We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left..."The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.
Forgive this but how are you gonna get in line with that sort of thinking when every one of your posts and seeming all of your "thinking" seem to be exactly the opposite?
I'm to believe you are suddenly gonna GTF up?
I am right since I am black and a democrat. You are stating an opinion that has been wrong for about 60 years.That is your opinion....You are wrong about democrats...
I will hold to mine.
I have lived in Chicago and its environs all of my fairly long life and have worked for decades in inner-city social services nonprofits.
I saw Democratic Machine control of the inner-city and its cavalier and arrogant treatment of Blacks every working day of those years.
And, that's all well within metaphorical "living memory" - nothing has changed in the few years since I disengaged.
Same pig, different day, different lipstick.
Ask the courts that proved how so called voter fraud measures were purposefully discriminatory towards blacks. You would not like the black conservatives in the OP and the blacks you consider reasonable only consist of blacks that repeat the racism you believe.If you want to pin a political label on a segment of society and call reasonable Black Americans "conservatives" it's your call but it don't make you a conservative if you are sick of being pandered to. How in the world can the democrat party claim that a simple basic item like a photo I.D. in the 21st century would discriminate against Black people? In't it insulting to be pandered to and used in an effort to circumvent the electoral process? Democrats don't give a shit about Black people. Their effort to reverse the voter I.D. law was intended to make it easy for lilly white liberals and illegal aliens vote in multiple venues.
What have Republicans offered black communities other than prisons ?

As already noted, your posts reek of your obsession with race and racism and I just don't see you as ever having the strength to deal with universal American truths without your crutch. What is most attractive about Owens is not her physical good looks but rather her clear-eyed recognition that it is the left that treats people of color not as deserving of respect and dignity but instead as mentally inferior little children in constant need of their aid.Because you do not post the entire sentence."We emphasize truth over narrative … We do not obsess over racism as many do on the left..."The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement

Stating the impact of white racism on the black community is not obsessing over racism. It is stating fact. But to whites trying to gaslight it becomes obsession in an attempt to pathologize anyone opposing that racism.
Racial gaslighting – the political, social, economic and cultural process that perpetuates and normalizes a white supremacist reality through pathologizing those who resist.
Sounds EXACTLY like Candice Owens except you're good with it as long as Candice Owens isn't preaching the very same message.These black conservatives do not get the exposure by the RWM as the Candice Owens types and it is done on purpose.

"What have Republicans offered black communities...??" You are exactly the kind of Dem Plantation whip that has for decades cynically held generation after generation of America's minorities in slavery. IM2 expresses a mild interest in getting out from under and you have the highly predictable hissy-fit. Remain calm … there is little chance that IM2 will grow up and get out. There is absolutely none that you will.What have Republicans offered black communities other than prisons ?
