Black and Conservative

Conservative black voters are blogging, marching and joining the Tea Party. They are defying the "expectation" that blacks HAVE to be democrats. They are called insidious names because they dare to criticize the first African American president under their right to exercise the First Amendment.

Many have kept their against-the-grain political views to themselves - until now. Although most voted for Obama, many feel the nation is overburdened with tax, disagree with Obama policies, and believe in fiscal responsibility and conservative action.

I hope we see more become active to squash the unfounded myth that Tea Party activists are racists.

I am not a member of the Tea Party. Simply an observer.
