Why don't you at least spell-check the title of your post? Also, I have no interest in propaganda; I pay attention to honest news reporting only.

Well it is informative of how these gentlemen think.

Conservatives have, since before the Civil Rights era, tended to be indifferent to the idea of rights for all Americans. Why would being black, suddenly convert a conservative to an advocate of civil rights?

It's not that you're uninterested in so-called propaganda; it's that you refuse to hear what black conservatives think and rationalize your choice by demeaning them as propagandists. The fact that you criticized the OP's minor typing error proves that you didn't post on this thread with the intent of engaging in a meaningful discussion, but to denigrate people who hold views you don't like.

As a conservative, I'll occasionally watch CNN and MSNBC to hear the other side of the argument and listen to alternative views. You liberals, on the other hand, seem to never want to hear alternative views and tend to demean conservatives instead of hearing what they have to say. You should try being more open sometime. It isn't really that distressing.

They don't sound conservative to me, despite their MAGA hats and support of Trump.

TBT, their comments sound as disjointed and unrelated as Trump's usual briefings.

They look at racial profiling, targeting, and violence by police as tangential to the real problems blacks face.

They talk about 'bringing back the nuclear family.' How do we bring back the nuclear family? We bring back the conditions that fostered the nuclear family. In the 1950's returning GI's could get low-cost loans and buy affordable homes. They earned wages that allowed one-income families--even if they worked in factories or blue-collar jobs. Those good union jobs usually provided health care. Sometimes they even gave education benefits for college. My husband's company had them when he earned a degree at night, and my sister got her MBA that way.

To bring back the nuclear family, we need to bring back the middle class. That means good education for both rich and poor children. It means adequate wages. It means health care. It means intervention to ameliorate the effects of technology on employment (which TBT are even higher than globalization at this point--the factories that return use lots of robotics and technology.)

It means bringing back a sense of community--and the kind of patriotism that brings people together--not the divisive, scapegoating faux-patriotism of Donald J. Trump.

Are there any black Proud Boys? Would a black man be welcome into the Proud Boys, or are those militia groups a more sophisticated version of the KKK, where they carry paint ball guns, pepper spray, and yes, AR-15's instead of flaming torches?

Maybe they should apply for membership and see what happens.
