One of the great minds who was lynched by the race industry over and over.

I believe Niger is on the NRA Board of Directors. I vote for him when I see his name.

Black conservatives have to swim against the tide. They’re called Oreos, Uncle Toms, and house niggahs by their inferiors. They deserve great respect.

Niger’s dad. One of the good guys. He was once approached by the Conservative party to run for the U.S. Senate.

RIP, Roy.

Hate to hear that. Saw Niger recently during the election and wondered how his dad was doing. RIP Mr. Innis and thank you......;(

DAMN! First Nat Hentoff and now Roy Innis? New York is truly losing its best and brightest in 2017.

If there was a “Mount Rushmore” for black conservatives, Roy Innis’s likeness would be there.
