TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – A nationally known black conservative came to Northeast Mississippi today with a message of empowerment, not entitlement.
CL Bryant was the guest speaker at tonight’s meeting of the Lee County Republican Party. He is a pastor in Shreveport Louisiana, and a Senior Fellow at Freedom Works in Washington D.C. Bryant has been crisscrossing the country calling on blacks to stand up to the abusers of racial politics, and fight what he calls the echo chamber of the liberal establishment that drives a wedge between minorities and the limited government movement. Bryant left the NAACP because he says the civil rights organization does not represent his core values.
“And the core values of black people traditionally have been against the type of platforms that the Democratic Party and the progressive liberals have put upon us in a fifty year span of time, ” Bryant says. “And I left the NAACP because their particular values came in direct confrontation with who I am at my core and as a person.”
Bryant says as the age of Obama is comes to a close, we are going to see a paradigm shift in the way black people view politics. And he is encouraging blacks to empower themselves to look at candidates and see if a candidate lines up their core values and their pocket books.
