By commentator and author Star Parker of the Coalition of Urban Renewal and Education (http://www.urbancure.com/):
"You might say, Star, a drop in approval ratings among blacks from 95 to 92 percent is trivial. But I say not so.
"If we assume this reflects the 16 million blacks who voted for Obama last November, a 3-point shift means there are about a half million blacks who now have buyer's remorse.
"This is meaningful. You take real risks going against the establishment in black America – psychological risks, professional risks and sometimes risks to personal safety. Peeling off a black who voted for Obama means moving heaven and earth.
"Even a star like Bill Cosby incurred the wrath of the black establishment when he started talking about black families and personal responsibility. As result, he backed off and toned down his message.
"Recall during the campaign, candidate Obama ruffled Jesse Jackson's feathers when he spoke about personal responsibility among black males. An inadvertently 'on' microphone picked up Jackson saying that he wanted to castrate Obama (not exactly in that language).
"The black conservative is not that rare freak of nature that so many think.
"According to a Pew Research Center report, almost a third of blacks consider themselves conservative.
"However, these folks have always been inclined to be quiet because of the social pressures and intimidation.
(My comment: That type of pressure is reminiscent of the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, and Nazi Germany. There are those claim to believe and fight for "freedom" yet they do not believe in freedom of speech and diversity of thought. I call that hypocritical -- Robert)
"But this is changing.
"Despite slurs, intimidation and widely reported physical attacks from union thugs, a few brave black souls have showed up at tea party protest rallies.
"I'm getting more and more calls from black conservatives around the country running for local office. I see black conservative websites popping up, and there are even black rappers rapping a conservative message.
"Who, after all, could know more about the lie about government and the pretense of political answers to life's problems than blacks?
"It's black families that have been devastated by welfare-state programs and black kids now trapped in hopeless public schools. And it's overwhelmingly black unborn children that never see the light of day.
"How can blacks who have their eyes open not have noticed that it was Mr. Obama who killed the DC school voucher program and sent black children back to one of the worst public school systems in the country?"
