Conservative Black Woman: Brief Contemplation Regarding A Call To Action...

Brief Contemplation Regarding A Call To Action...

An anonymous reader has found him or herself disappointed in me and this blog. I initially shrugged this comment off because I am under no compulsion to please anyone with my brainspew and honestly the comment was hardly scathing enough to illicit anger or bemusement. I then read a comment from a fellow blogger who does not share my politics but shared that the only fruit that I can expect to come from my carping to black folks is more of the same (carping that is). That agonizing over our social ills and berating them is not productive. So I am humbled and offering my deepest and sincerest apology to my readers for not being a part of the solution. I am going to spend some time trying to figure out what it is that I can do to be a part of the solution.

Then I read an op-ed written by Shelby Steele this morning and he writes: "But true reform, like the civil rights victories of the '60s, never happens until people become exhausted with their suffering."

So now I'm in a quandary..... But, I'll figure something out. There has to be someway to reach the my brothers and sister in a positive and productive way. Stay tuned.

Your "brainspew" inspires me. I don't perceive that you are simply agonizing and carping, but are putting a message out there about right and wrong. At the very least, you are being a positive example of being a black fiscal and social/religious conservative.

What you do for me is make me feel not alone. Living my life as a former single mom, turned married mom; living my life as a person who used to be on welfare, but now owns a business; as person who has worked hard to obtain the things I want in life despite the odds; as a person who strives to learn what God wants and live that way; as a person who loves teaching others and has tried to make a difference in our community to often find that individuals are not always willing to do what needs to be done to help themselves, I feel alone. I have no black friends who share my conservative views.

You make me feel like there are others like me who are my color and I appreciate you.

In this world, where wrong is called right and right is called wrong, you benefit the world be speaking truth.

I sincerely THANK YOU.; November 6, 2008 at 2:37 PM
Fitts said...: Wow!!! This blog is the business!! I am glad I stopped by. I will put you on my blog as a blogger who cuts it straight.

When you have a chance read "Social Conservatives Trapped in a Liberal Party" and "Round Two Political Talking Points" on my blog.

Grace & Peace,

The Black Sphere said...: There is no quandry. This is equivalent to asking a lunatic to teach logic! Black people, there is this thing called "tough love". We used to teach it to our kids, until they started earning more than us "slinging". We have stopped being parents and forgotten how. Now we don't want to be treated like kids, which is how we act.

Don't shoot the messenger for telling you what you already know, and not delivering it gently enough. You just elected a man who decries the White woman who raised him, and exalts the father who abandoned him...stupid. There I said it FOR Conservative Black Woman.

Can we find a balance in teaching the IGNORANT, perhaps?! But until more of us at least act like we have a brain, then I'm gonna keep bringing it to you on the REAL!

We need to be the new Black Panthers within our own party!! That's pathetic!; November 7, 2008 at 5:12 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm sure people wanted Henry Highland Garnet to shut up. Or Frederick Douglass. Or Booker T Washington. Or WEB DuBois. Or Marcus Garvey. Martin Delany. Maria Stewart. Ida B Wells-Barnett. Frances Harper. David Walker...etc. Folks definitely wanted Jeremiah, Isaiah, Elijah, Elisha and all the other prophets, and finally, Jesus, to shut up. Keep on CBW. Be a voice in the wilderness.

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
