Lloyd Marcus on Blacks and Youths at CPAC

Lloyd Marcus, the musical star of the Tea Party movement, writes on his experience at CPAC.  Quick quotes:

I performed my “American Tea Party Anthem” and “Twenty Ten: We’re Gonna Vote Them Out” at CPAC as a representative for TeaPartyExpress.org. I was struck and excited by the high number of youths in attendance (over 50% were under 25 years old). With liberal iron-fisted dictatorship regimes ruling most of America’s campuses, how did these kids survive the attempts to indoctrinate them?

…

It was also exciting to see many fellow black conservatives at CPAC. Interestingly, every black with whom I spoke had an entrepreneurial gleam in his eyes which broadcast, “I’m grateful to be born in America, and I am going for it!” I detected no hint of entitlement or victim mindsets in these blacks. They were truly refreshing.
