Black Conservatism is my porn!

Black conservatism is a real thing. It's not the figment of anyone's imagination, it is real. There are Black people out there that have adopted the attitudes and ideologies of the conservatives. Lower taxes for the rich (fiscal conservatives), every man for themselves (tea party movement), from Union busting to the desire to privatize Medicare. There are many more conservative principles but I won't get into that, but there are Black people that hold fast to these and all the other tenants of the conservatives.

I respect them, I do. I respect them for aligning themselves with a party that at one time was responsible for the freeing of the slave. I respect them for calling themselves conservatives and belonging to a party that now despises them and seeks to exploit them. If one chooses to boldly stands up and proclaims that they now stand with their enemy, while that may be looked upon with confusion and bewilderment, and while it may not be liked, it needs to be respected.

My problem with Black conservatives and the Black conservatism movement, other than the fact that I think they need to have their heads examined, are the people they put out to do the talking for them. It is hard, Hard, HARD to be taken seriously as a movement when you continue to put "crazy" front and center and have them try to plead your case. Yet that is exactly what conservatives do. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck are personalities on radio and TV. They make their cases against the President and his administration for a paycheck. Those men are hilarious to me but I respect their hustle. When you move over to the elected official side of that coin, well I don't think I really need to mention any of the crazies there by name, I'll just say that when it's a legitimate rape, a woman's body can shut that whole getting pregnant thing down, and I can see Russia from my house.

Now when it comes to Black conservatives it seems they've adopted the "put the crazies front and center" strategy. I have already blogged about James David Manning and his pure insanity. His hatred for the President and the First Lady knows no bounds, nor does his hatred for Black people in general. And while he may have a church in Harlem, I truly doubt he resides there. I was recently introduced to the writings (and I use that term loosely) and ideas of Mychal Massie, a supposed leader in the world of Black conservatism. Reading his writings, this is a man who clearly sees himself as one of "them" and not one of "us", as his words so clearly state. These two men are just the tip of the iceberg of my Black conservatism porn. I mentally masturbate to James Manning alone, because he is SO out there, but now I have two to mentally get off on.

The fact that these two men have decided to rub their conservative ideals and hatred for the First Family all over each other was almost too good to be true. I likened the two part interview Manning conducted with Massie as the perfect storm for someone like me. Mychal Massie is under the impression that President Obama and his wife are "elitist Leninists" and he condemns them for being "the worst kind of racialists". Mychal Massie has attempted to take down Michelle Obama repeatedly because in his words "Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous." When I found the interviews online it was like Christmas came early for me by four months, and I was so overjoyed at the amount of porn that was under my tree that I just had to share it. I hope you watch and mentally get off just like I've been doing. You might want to get a napkin or a towel, just saying.
