The Black Republican

What ever happened to JC Watts? He was kinda cool. It was always neat to see him. He was like the a black spot on the big white wall.

There has been some recent development in regards to your comment about me being a liberal that wants to secretly be a conservative. My response was the the fact that I was the opposite and the description better suits you. I am actually a conservative that wants to be liberal.

My father and I discussed this concept. He better fits the liberal description, which is why he raised me from a conservative perspective. During Christmas time he asked me how come I was so racially sensitive. I said, "I'm black I supposed to be". He laughed and said "Just because you are black doesn't mean you can relate". He then said, "I raised you like a little white kid, so where did that ability to relate come from". My father was a school district superintendent of a multicultural district and he could recognize different parenting styles amongst his students. So when he says he raised me like a white kid, he probably did. From a personal standpoint, I was raised very similar to the kids in my neighborhood(once we moved out of the bad one), which was 93 percent non minority, so I can agree with is statement. I get my point of view from within and based upon how people treat me. I can relate innately so to speak.

What's funny is that my father and I like the Republican candidates more even though we will most likely vote for the black guy. I would vote for McCain if he were younger. He has been my favorite politician the last 3 years. I like Ron Paul but he is probably difficult to work with. My father likes Huckabee and agrees with his concepts. I actually like him too for his 'F' policies. I actually blogged about two of the 4 'F's: Faith, Family, Friends, Football. Huckabee uses 2 of those four 'F's that define CampTrotter which are Faith and Family.

We like the conservatives more but will probably vote for Obama.
Why? Because I want to see a brutha win! If Barack wins I am closer to my dream of having a chocolate dark, ball-headed, earing wearing, gold toothed president. You know, someone that resembles Chad Johnson!! When that happens, we have overcome.
