      So I have been thinking about this and I wouldn’t run the grift but if I were going to advise someone to stake out a position as a marketable black conservative, I would say they should go a little left-field and position themselves as black cultural conservatives.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1115700376383176704 …

      The usual approach for black conservatives is to deploy arguments about black cultural pathology. But there is another path available. Where you presuppose the problem of structural racism but argue there is no capacity in white society to do anything about it.

      Argue from the position of a conservative black nationalist, basically. “There will be no liberation from a racist society so let us turn inward and sustain the black community through hard work and recommitment to our cherished traditions and institutions.”

      Think Clarence Thomas, more or less, although more flexible about state action, demanding direct assistance for the purpose of self-sufficiency. Patriarchal moralism, with a perspective of “this is how we will weather the storm against a hostile white world.”

      Not only is this more authentic sounding than your Candace Owens’ but it would actually be a somewhat novel intervention in the discourse. And you could stand out as a “unique” voice pretty quickly.

      Key is that you are not denigrating black culture. And to the extent thst you are, it is for becoming too mainstream.https://twitter.com/josh_coblentz/status/1116520500329615360?s=21 …

      folks have pointed out that this is similar to NOI, and that is pretty much right. NOI softened for a white audience, with some 2nd amendment fetishism thrown in for good measure

      An activist and speaker Reginald Jones met decent success with a somewhat similar approach in the 1990s early 2000s. He emphasized building on existing black cultural leadership and entrepreneurship.

      I feel like there's actually a number of guys like this out there at the local level (my dad knew some of them in Harlem), and conservatives who care about civil society are better off not trying to get them to go on Fox News and become Sheriff Clarke.
