Jamil Jivani: What Black conservatives are saying following the Derek Chauvin verdict

Thankfully, Black conservatives on social media haven’t been shy about sharing their views on the Chauvin verdict.

The Federalist’s Delano Squires emphasized how the Chauvin trial may lead to new opportunities for police reforms. “One of the most encouraging things about the prosecution’s case,” Squires wrote, “is that they focused on Chauvin’s actions, not presumed racism. Unfortunately, many people make honest, productive conversations policing impossible because racial strife benefits them more than actual change.

Black conservatives in Canada also weighed in on the debates prompted by the Chauvin verdict. Ghanaian-Canadian blogger Samuel Sey noted that there are high stakes to the conversations we’re having about policing today, arguing that, “What’s happening in America isn’t necessarily hatred for police officers. And it’s surely not about love for black people.”

. . President Biden himself has publicly said 'black conservative' is an oxymoron (see the Clarence Thomas hearings) . . add that to 'black voters ain't black if they're considering Trump' . .

What right wing people said it was a miscarriage of justice? Name one prominent. Why do you even throw that in there? Sounds bigoted
