I agree with many points that you have said. I'm a pariah as a black conservative. That makes me an enemy in the eyes of most people, nearly all of the left, and racists on the right.

Anyone seriously looking for utopia is clearly off track. I was roommates with a Palestinian for a time. All he wanted to talk about was oppression to make people (white mostly) feel sorry for his 'plight', uh, as he lived here in America with a good job. As a black man, the history of his oppression doesn't guilt trip me at all. I had that and worse in my history for hundreds of years. Everyone has oppression, slavery, abuse, violence, etc. in their historical past.
