    CJ Pearson, a Black Gen Z conservative activist said, “I think it’s absurd we’re having a debate about whether slavery was good for Black people in 2023.”

    If you think that, you might not understand what the modern Republican Party is trying to do.

    Ron DeRacist is his name and racism is his game. Vote this pile of shit out of office in the next election.

    My ex’s parents are black Republicans. Because of church. They are nice people, but exist in a bubble. They don’t read news, live in BFE, very poor. All they know is that their friends vote R so they do also. There not bad people, just set in their ways.

        Is it possible that some of these Super PACs are bankrolling black GOP candidates in order to influence and leech away black folks’ support for democrats?

        The tin foil hattiness of that question is obvious, but somehow it makes more sense than black people joining/supporting the GOP.
