Democratic Minnesota Representative and Democratic National Committee chairman candidate Keith Ellison once called for slavery reparations and a separate country for black Americans in a university newspaper column.
Ellisons writings while a student at the University of Minnesota law school under the name Keith Hakim raised eyebrows when he announced his first congressional run in 2006. The Weekly Standard noted that Ellison refers to Minister Louis Farrakhan, defends Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Abdul Muhammad, and speaks in the voice of a Nation of Islam advocate Hakim demands reparations for slavery and throws in a demand for an optional separate homeland for American blacks.
After Ellison announced he was seeking the chairman position, The Daily Caller News Foundation went back and dug up the columns in question, including two the Standard missed. In particular, they confirmed Ellisons past support for a separate country for African-Americans:
Blacks would have the option of choosing their own land base or remaining in the United States. Since black people toiled most diligently in the southeastern section of the United States, this land, quite naturally, would be most suitable. That means Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Blacks, of course, would not be compelled to move to the black state, and, of course, peaceful whites would not be compelled to move away.
Whites would be relieved of the burdens of the black-faced but white-dominated social programs. Blacks would employ themselves, teach their own children the truth and control their own neighborhoods. Black-white interaction would be voluntary instead of compelled, he continued.
Ellison demanded the land grant in addition to a substantial slavery reparations payment. This is a bargain, he insisted.
If that’s what they want.......make him CHAIRMAN!!

Making this jackass their leader will be the final nail in their coffin. Please do it donkeys, please!

There are a bunch of mostly black countries in the Africa that they could move to. In fact, I would support a bill that pays the moving expenses of anyone who wants to move Africa, provided that they renounce their citizenship and never return.
