Project 21: "A Make-Believe Black Organization"

So what's the deal behind black conservative groups? Joshua Holland describes a C-SPAN interview with the white Director of Project 21 here. Project 21 describes itself as "The National Leadership Network of Conservative African-American" on its website. But Joshua helps you learn the truth by "following the money" and uncovering an intriguing pattern.

Turns out, all the black conservative organizations that Joshua has researched "receives a significant portion of their funding (in some cases all of their funding) from at least three of four ultra-conservative foundations (the Lincoln Institute gets its share funneled indirectly through the conservative Hoover Institution). The four are the usual suspects of the Right's political ATM: Richard Scaife's family foundations, Adolph Coors' Castle Rock Foundation, The John M. Olin Foundation, and the Linde and Harry Bradley Foundation. What's striking about these groups' underwriting of "minority organizations" is that some of them have at times displayed what many would consider a frankly racist agenda."
