‘Conservatives of color’ - What in the fuck world do we live in? Jesus. Just say Black Conservatives, or just fucking Conservatives. You’re literally kowtowing to the left using this jargon. “People of melanin who identify among the conservative/republican political spectrum.” Weak.
- Maybe they don't mean just black people though.
  
  Thanks, friend!
It's the trees voting for the axe.
- Ahh, the same ol “I use analogies to appear smart, when I actually have no idea what I’m saying” repeated phrase.
- I don't think so.
  
  POC's voting for the gop are exactly that. The gop is very racist
I thought the republicans hated DEI.
It's always white people who are against non-whites becoming billionaires and millionaires. Whites say they want opportunities for non-whites to be successful, but they do nit support entrepreneurs so that a dark skinned person works towards becoming a multimillionaire from their merits.
- Well to be fair, meritorious people do not become multimillionaires.
  
  You can make 2 million through your own labor, without exploitation.
- I think that's an overgeneralization. I'm bi-racial. To blame one skin color, regardless of the color, and say all of a particular group do this or do that, is incorrect. Thanks!
  
  When do white people state publicly that they want non-whites and immigrants to be entrepreneurs to get wealthy through the free market and open competition to become millionaires and billionaires?
