In this repost, my favorite blogger answers that age old question---"what does a black man have to conserve?" From Liberal to Conservative by La Shawn Barber Despite America’s ugly history of the enslavement of my ancestors, I love this country and marvel at the blessing of being born here. I appreciate every day the freedom I once took for granted. While I think America’s culture is on the decline, our form of government, rooted in individual rights, is still the best in the world. Like many of my black peers,I grew up believing conservatives were rich white people trying to take away our “civil rights” and send us to the back of the bus -- which wasn’t consistent with reality, of course. I wasn’t oppressed and neither was anyone I knew. I didn’t have to walk through “Colored Only” entrances and wasn’t otherwise prevented fromdoing what I chose to do.
