This is my mental image every time someone online claims to be a black conservative.
I love all the, "I'm actually black and democrats are the real racists!"
I'm sure there are some black people that do believe that. But I mean like... KKK and nazi members and such aren't comfortable showing up to democrat rallies to show their support. Republicans seem to have no issues co-mingling with them.
But hey you have people like Kaitlyn Jenner who still support republicans despite the fact that so many of them think of her existence as woke and needs to be exterminated. So... Who knows.
black conservatives are conservatives because of religion mostly.
same with hispanics.
It always amazes me how many people will gladly be the token minority to Judas goat their brethren for the right. No matter how many times the person gets tossed aside, there's always another one waiting to get the money/power/attention until they're the ones getting tossed aside.
I don't want to misgender Caitlyn Jenner. Should I call her Uncle or Aunt Tom?
