The Conservative Brotherhood

The Conservative Minority Institute was formed because its founders believe that adherence to conservative values, and appreciation of conservative thought, are the keys to resurrecting educational, social, and economic progress in minority communities. Our belief in the benefits of conservative doctrine is not meant to signal an endorsement of any particular political party or politician, but rather an endorsement of conservatism itself. We believe a respect for traditional values, personal accountability, fiscal responsibility, and other conservative ideals are not just political positions; they are essential elements of individual and community success.

The New Coalition for Economic and Social Change is a national nonprofit organization based in Chicago devoted to advancing conservative multiculturalism, a way of looking at the social order that leads to conservative or libertarian conclusions, but that is filtered and changed by experiences both historic and personal that are not shared by whites.

The New Coalition was born out of the excitement and energy of a conference convened by Dr. Henry Lucas and Thomas Sowell in 1980 in San Francisco, California. This conference, called the Fairmont Conference, attracted Democrats, Republicans, independents, and community activists from around the country. Those attending included many of the nation’s leading intellectuals, including Michael Boskin, Milton Friedman, Edwin Meese, Chuck Stone, Clarence Thomas, and Walter Williams. Together, they called for a New Black Agenda that stressed free enterprise, community, and individual empowerment.

IT'S THE WEDDING CRASHERS, NO, IT’S THE FUNERAL CRASHERS

The democratic, liberal, left are losing it. They are so upset at Bush that even at a funeral they lost focus on the legacy and life of one Coretta Scott King and began to focus on political tirades that made them look silly, petty, and irresponsibly disrespectful . . .How sad for a party that once owned the moral high ground as it pertained to civil rights to find themselves at such a low point. They did the exact same thing at Rosa Park’s funeral. I could say much more, but I won’t.

The civil rights movement dead?

If all we have left of the civil rights movement is Rev.

The Cook County (Chicago) Republican organization has issued a press
release claiming that the Democratic party is conducting genocide
against black Americans by supporting abortion rights. The language is
unbridled, and the explicit appeal to racial animosity is as stark as
anything seen in the days of Jim Crow. (It is progress, I suppose, that
they are now race-baiting in favor of blacks, but it’s hardly less
ugly.)

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and, walk in darkness we lie, and do not no the truth.

1 John 2:9 He that says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God.

1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is Love.

John’s epistle whether you believe in God or not is one of the greatest letters of love ever pinned. The kind of love described by the Greek word agape is defined by some as “a profound concern for the welfare of another without any desire to control that other, to be thanked by that other, or to enjoy the process.” It gives itself. It lays down its life.

While Muslims riot all over the world, and burn foreign embassies and other property to the ground. Law enforcement in this country will be stepped up in cities where there is a heavy concentration of Arab Americans. Cities like Detroit, Newark, New York and Jersey City will see an increased police presence in their communities. What impact will this have on blacks living in these areas? Will the increase in law enforcement affect the daily activities of blacks?
One has to wonder whether blacks will become the targets of the cop’s attempt to defuse Muslim tensions, and be unduly swept up into a situation not of their own making.

I thought Booker Rising and other conservative blogs were about the ideas and philosophies put forth by Booker T Washington and other prominent conservatives. We should be focusing our energy and discussion on ways of empowering more African Americans through economic independence and education, rather then wasting time articulating the problems associated with the black community. Don’t we hear enough of that from liberals?…everybody can see the problem.

The question is how do we as black people correct what so many of us have identified as broken without using the words “Black Diaspora”. If liberalism is a mental disorder; what’s the cure? The focus of our attention and efforts should be on finding solutions, that’s what Washington was about.

I have concluded that racism is alive and well in our country. . This new reality for me has been more saddening by the fact racism is alive and well in the Black Community.

Some, not all Blacks are some of the most racist people in our country today. . .

A poll in the Los Angeles Times asked whether, in America, “everyone has the power to succeed.” Low-income white were more likely to say yes to that statement than blacks earning $50,000 or more!”

During the Second World War, Japanese fighters in Burma continued fighting long after the warring parties negotiated peace. Their remote location prevented them from learning the news, so they continued fighting. Similarly, many blacks continue “fighting the struggle” long after the declaration of peace. By nearly any measure—the right to vote, to use public accommodations, to attend a state college or university if qualified—the “civil rights” struggle, thank God, is over. The black leadership should stick the pole in the ground, raise the flag, salute, and covert the troops to civilian duty. Instead they continue fighting a war long since won while ignoring far more pressing issues. The black leadership is in Burma.

The Pittsburgh Channel reports:
Republican gubernatorial candidate William Scranton has fired campaign manager James Seif for making disparaging comments about Lynn Swann, one of his opponents in the upcoming primary.

Seif made the comment Wednesday night, during a one-hour show on the Pennsylvania Cable Network. He was trying to portray Scranton as the outsider in the race and Swann, a sports celebrity with no experience in public service, as the choice of the GOP establishment.

"In fact, the rich white guy in this campaign is Lynn Swann," Seif said. "He's the one that hangs around the, uh..."

A specter is haunting the EPRDF [1]--the specter of Kinijit [2]. Reports are seeping through the prison walls into my cell that cities and towns all over the country are exploding, furiously burning with the quest for freedom. In schools and colleges people of tender ages are articulating and demanding their liberties with extraordinary air of confidence and dedication. Priests are dumbstruck when young men approach and ask them to tell and live the truth as God requires. The tormentors couldn't muster up enough courage to face and address these heroic men. Instead they decry them as Kinijit and try to exorcize the specter.
