So anytime a Ben Carson or Mia Love bursts onto the scene, you immediately tune out their message and scour their life story to find something to discredit them? Is that the name of the game? Aren't you even a wee bit curious to find out why they embrace conservative values?
You act like a black conservative is some kind of oxymoronic freak or an affront to nature. Why are you so intolerant of diversity of political viewpoints among blacks? Republicans don't prop up people like Ben Carson or Mia Love. They join the party on their own out of conviction because they agree with conservative principles and aren't afraid to question failed liberal dogmas. And as a practical matter, they know blacks will be better served if they have sway in both political parties, instead of letting one party take their support for granted.
It seems to me that you are the one who needs to expose himself to more diversity of opinion.
