As conservatives, let's promote black conservatives like Candace Owens, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Ben Carson, and Ali Alexander (who was involved with stop the steal.) It's not helpful to our cause to mock another minority group's habits of language.

We shouldn't be giving the Left the easy fruit by messing around with language and things like that.

But actually, the Left loves to talk about emphasizing Ebonics to promote literacy in urban communities. So now, I find it beyond ridiculous that they are promoting such explicit identity politics. I mean, how can you expect a bystander to not pay attention to distinctions in language, habits, and demeanor, if you the policy makers on the Left are the ones saying that promoting Cultural Distinctions and ethnic solidarity is what's needed to fight oppression? So, I am confused. It seems as if the Left's embrace of ethnic solidarity and multiculturalism promotes racial stereotyping. Different groups of people are encouraged BOTH to keep their distinctions, AND to ponder their oppression - aka ponder their hardships, obstacles, and disadvantages from the most disempowering and most negative frames of mind possible. And then the Left wonders why so many people suffer from mental illness. Finally, this somehow gets blamed on conservatives and white supremacy and racism. Wow, the Left really went full circle on PROPOSING A SOLUTION, THAT CREATES A REACTION, THAT WORSENS THE EXISTING PROBLEM. That looks like the Hegelian Problem-reaction-solution in reverse.
