yes, virginia, there is

It's popular opinion that there is "no such thing" as a black republican. I found this article that proves otherwise--and also offers interesting discussion of what those African-American conservatives' feelings are about the upcoming election.

Lenny McAllister, a black conservative blogger from North Carolina and a self-described "hip-hop Republican," told CNN that being able to recognize Obama as a historical figure, yet not support his candidacy from a policy perspective was a mark of progress. "When we're able to do that comfortably in an accepted fashion in America [is] when we'll be able to grow and move forward as a country and move past the wounds that we've had from race relations throughout the country," he said.

The whole article is pretty good stuff, I suggest giving it a gander here.
