but 2008 president bush appointed me to the national endowment to the humanities and to the tennessee advisory committee, to the u.s. civil rights commission as an independent and being on the commission as an independent it -- i had lots of exposure to different types of people but i had exposure to more and more republicans and it was a combination of the party platforms, what the republicans stood for, what the democrats stood for that encouraged me to make that transition. >> what's it been like to be a black conservative woman in academia? >> well, you know something, i went from being a hot shot to -- to becoming a perriah and so there were times that were very difficult because people do treat you as if you are -- you lost your mind or you're the weakest link, you're not smart, you're stupid and all of those things, when you're a christian and i think being black and being a christian and a conservative that all of those things made it difficult in the beginning, but i've reached the age and the part where i really don't care. i'm me, this is what you get and so i accept myself
