Further thoughts: I guess pet ownership and zoos can kiss keeping carnivores/omnivores goodbye by their logic. Also, population control and euthanasia. I care about animals and the environment, too, but I'm not going to apologize for being a human, and yes, eating meat products and not always getting along with nature. We're holding ourselves to an unrealistic standard that we hold no other species and no other species holds itself.
I'm of black descent myself and I agree. As a black conservative, you wouldn't believe the times I've gotten flack from other black people for my political choices, not minding if white actors voice black cartoon characters (while nobody complains when the reverse happens), liking white women (I've actually been called brainwashed for doing so), and even telling black folktales (i.e. the Uncle Remus stories, never mind that they existed long before Song of the South). And then there's the times I've had it pushed into my head that conservatives (who are apparently all white despite evidence to the contrary) are trying to bring back slavery. Most of the racism I've experienced has been not from conservative Western Europeans, but from Eastern Europeans, liberal white people, and other nonwhites.
