I am happy to be a conservative person of color and glad to see some of us waking up and moving off the plantation of liberalism. That’s right sir.Could not agree with you more.

Unfortunatly if this is a false letter, it sounds all to real. "And that’s when I think to myself, Hmmm…so this is how it feels to be an “Uncle Tom.” " How many black conservatives have been called "uncle tom", probably any one of them in the public eye. Thomas, Rice, and Powell for sure that I know of. Pretty important Americans. I would like to publish this letter in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Both movements pride themselves in what "they have done for us." If it's not the liberals screaming that blacks need special treatment, it's conservatives screaming, "We freed you from slavery." When blacks period (despite ideology) begin to understand that the oligarchical powers (Republicans and Democrats) are not designed to serve black interests (when whites wake up and realize that they have been poor under both--they will fair better), then self-interests will come to the forefront. PS - I am a black Conservative who is not concerned about having my "black" card stripped, and I am not concerned about the view of whites either.

It sounds like you appreciate the values of conservative thinking, so I'm not sure what your gripe with Jerome is. You said "I do not understand from all parties is why we can’t all respect each other" and I think most Americans agree with that idea. My take on his letter is that he is frustrated that so many black Americans vote Democratic based on tradition, not on the facts of the past or the facts of the present. He makes great points and lists specific things accomplished by Conservatives, especially so many things having to do with removing racial barriers in America. Several years ago I found myself and my family on Welfare. It sucked, but I was on it for about 8 months. That, plus food stamps, plus emergency health insurance for our newborn and three year old. However, I used the system as it was intended to be used. It was a temporary thing and I am now doing a heck of a lot better. You also said "I do believe that it should be there for those who need it, and will not abuse it." and again, I completely agree with you. The problem I see is that so many people are lazy and prefer to lower their life expectations by staying on the system instead of making the hard decisions needed to get OFF of the system. Are there any specific points in Jermome's letter that you disagree with? I really appreciate your feedback Mrs. Wiley. Thanks so much.
