I would estimate that close to 20% of American Blacks are conservative and/or lean Republicans. Nobody talks about them and Black Leadership dismisses them as "not really representing the Black man" (IMHO) i.e. Condy Rice, Clarence Thomas (Supreme Court), Jesse Watts, Daryl Green, Lynn Swann, Colin Powell, etc.
It may be tongue in cheek, as was my question, but is it not a bit concerning that there is a black 'leadership' in the first place?
