Kevin Jackson: young, talented, black...conservative?

I've just discovered Kevin Jackson. Shame on me for not noticing him before. Now, however, I'm a definite fan.
He's behind The Black Sphere blog and author of The BIG Black Lie. He's young. He's black. And he's conservative. Add the fact he believes in God and you have the single most attacked minority in America.
Our post-racial President wants to talk about racism? Let's talk about racism. Here's a great introduction video of Kevin schooling a young union supporter about real racism in America - the attack of the black community by the Democrat party.

Racism disgusts me. It truly makes me sick to my core. To judge anyone because of the way they look? Ignorant. Stupid. Filthy.
That principle also covers people who are white, who are poor, who are fat, who are physically handicapped, and on and on. But if you truly care about racism, about minorities treated with disdain, then you cannot be silent about the vicious, vitriolic, and unmerciful attacks the black community and Democrat party wages against black conservatives.

It's a pure form of hate. Black conservatives are men and women, inspired by the knowledge of their Godly-intrinsic value and abilities, to break free from the "victim" mentality and stand on their own. They are empowered. And because of this, they are no longer slaves to the Democrat mentality that the black population needs to be coddled, controlled, and treated as inferior.
Black conservatives realize their equality in the world. They realize that challenges, even if from racial bigotry, serve to refine their character and strength, to sharpen their edges, to make them even better than before. As challenges do with all of us.

I greatly admire black conservatives because they truly do have a more difficult hurdle to overcome: the indoctrination from liberals that they can't make it on their own. And once realizing that as a lie, they are forever persecuted for it.

That is racism in America. And it's ugly.

Here's Kevin again, on Glenn Beck during the 9/12 rallies.

I'll leave you with words from Kevin. If you get a chance to hear this man speak, I recommend listening.

Due to the death of my mother when I was five, I was adopted and raised by my grandparents who were staunch Democrats. I recall as a child watching Reagan give a speech in his unsuccessful run for the presidency, after which I said to my grandparents, “Why are we Democrats, when what we believe is what that guy [Reagan] just said?”

That moment was the birth of The Black Sphere—self-appointed “Offender of the Left” sworn to set the record straight on the destruction by Democrats to the black community.

I am just a poor kid, who was fortunate enough to have been exposed to what the world has to offer in a most unique way. I witnessed life through black and white, and through poverty and wealth. I have always held an optimistic outlook, and my grandparents instilled in me a “no excuses mentality,” combined with work ethic.

I am flawed for sure, but I have always decided to like what I see in the mirror, despite my flaws. I strive to be a better person, and to give my best to all situations. I am a believer in God and family, and feel fortunate to have you read my words, thus giving me a voice.
