Parker: Black Americans and Reagan Ideals

I was recently made very proud, and also very humbled, by receiving the Ronald Reagan Award, given at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference by the American Conservative Union.

Regarding the award, ACU says: “The winners of this award, our highest honor, are not household names, but the men and women working in the trenches, who sacrifice and, in so doing, set an example for others.”

I write about this at the risk of coming off as the opposite of humble. After all, Star, really — announcing your award to the world?

I’m writing about it because of the chaotic time we are in now, and because, no, it is not about Star Parker. It is about America and working to save our country.

It is important that Americans, and particularly minority Americans, see that there is a hardworking American black woman who shares the ideals of Ronald Reagan and believes that America is an anointed nation with a mission.

What are those ideals? Traditional values, limited government, free markets and a strong national defense.

But let’s specifically talk about race and the vision of America as a free nation under God.
