(58,785 posts)and disapproving of what America's white male-dominated conservative party does to them doesn't mean minority conservatives somehow approve of what the liberal party does. Liberals are the "all men are created equal" people; it's defining, we just tend to feel that in our guts.
Conservatives, of all colors, overall don't feel it, and most mildly to passionately disagree with the notion. But attitudes toward equality and government's role in securing equality is hardly the only difference. They have real issues with liberal progressive governance, the more strongly conservative, the bigger the issues. And the more conservative a person is by nature the more likely he is to agree with other conservatives politically, equality only one issue among many.
Btw, just look at ultra-conservative black nationalist Clarence Thomas and his bone-deep rejection of liberalism in government and its ongoing attempts to assure "equality." He's worked up a whole faux intellectual excuse for his dreadful attitudes about how the white people's liberalism-based constitution was designed to above all oppress black people, that every civil rights advance has actually hurt and degraded black people more, and that it can never be changed or advanced to do otherwise. He's a real (loaded and firing) pistol, like many of his Republican white supremacist counterparts these days.
