from Black Quill & Ink
Today I learned of a web site that supports the campaign of Black Conservatives running for Congressional seats. The candidates are from different areas of the country but one thing, besides being Black conservatives, which they have in common, is the enormous LACK of support that they have received from the GOP establishment. Shame on the GOP. I will not discuss here the qualifications of the 13 candidates. I’m only familiar with a couple, Alan West (Florida), Tim Scott (South Carolina), Stephen Broden (Texas) Star Parker (California) and Chuck Smith (Virginia). I have generally followed these candidates, in part, because some of BQI readers are staunch supporters and made it clear to BQI that they needed support.
Although I can not vouch for all of the candidates seeking office, I do believe that they deserve a good review to determine if they can warrant your support. I have and will personally voice my displeasure over the lack of support that has been given to these candidates by the GOP. This lack of support is disheartening because, at least for the candidates that I know about, they should be receiving strong GOP support. I am further disheartened with the GOP’s position because I happen to know and have written about how Black values align with conservative principles. For this reason, if the GOP was truly interested in reaching out to the Black community, supporting Black conservatives in a big way would certainly be viewed as a big step.
