How strange! I am contemplating joining CORE, am I in an alternate universe or something?

[Larry381]

Niger Innis, national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality

Niger Innis is a stand-up American and CORE is one of the great organizations that promote black equality by having blacks help themselves. His father Roy Innis, whom I have met, is a great American.

[Little Bill]

Niger Innis spoke at a couple of FReeps in DC that I attended, one of the good ones.

do not sell gasoline to Redford or his friends...let them take the bus.

[PistolPaknMama]

People like Robert Redford don't care. They have their cajillon dollars (that WE paid in movie tickets) and they could care less about us.

Niger Innis is one of my personal heroes. What a guy. Give 'em hell, Niger!

[PistolPaknMama]

Does a bear make doodie in the woods?

Only if you're there to see it. :-)

[PistolPaknMama]

The group’s name is Congress of Racial Equality, so I assumed it’s another looney left fringe group.

Nothing like that at all. Research them. VERY pro Second Amendment.

"If Robert Redford succeeds in blocking natural gas production in Utah, it's going to hurt a lot of people on the other end of the pipeline — especially low-income families who are struggling to pay their heating bills,"...let them burn hundred dollar bills.......

[fella]

With hard times upon us the Greenies, blocking jobs and true progress, are now a luxury that the nation can no longer afford.

[Anti-Christ is Hillary]

Actually Niger Innis is a strong Conservative. He started the “Congress for Racial Equality” to counter the congressional Black caucus (He knows that he is not in the congress). He is one of the few Conservatives that is actually smart enough to use the lefts tricks against them. Like, “Redford hates the poor and wants them to freeze to death.” Some Conservatives are actually pulling their heads out of their a@@es. If we let them loose enough election and continue to send the Rino’s home maybe they will all pull their heads out.

I wish we could get Niger Innis to run for office.

[Trteamer]

Robert Redford came to Colorado and campaigned for Ken Salazar, our new Interior Secretary. No gas, coal, or oil will be coming from public lands.........

No soup for you....

[higgmeister]

A big Niger Innis bump to the top for beating the enviro commies at their own game!

[armymarinemom]

Niger Innis has been fighting the good fight for years and catching a lot of grief along the way.

[BIGLOOK]

Is Hollywood insensitive to the needs of low-income Americans on affordable energy ?

Ahh....Yes!

It always amazes me that the elites in society are actors, on and off screen.

[max americana]

How come his name is Nig*er Innis on the Fox telecast?

[MinuteGal]

Like Rush, Niger is more valuable doing what he's doing than being in public office....which stifles most conservative voices....as we've all seen the past decade.

[gibsosa]

bump

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, but as we’ve also seen, having almost none of our best and brightest people able to effect change from within government has crippled us, too. We can’t all be outside the walls.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yes, Niger Innis is pretty much on our side. His father Roy Innis was a leader in the conventional CR movement. CORE was more militant back then.
