EXCLUSIVE: Black Congressmen Refuse To Condemn Ellison’s Past Proposal For A ‘Black State’
Daily Caller ^ | November 30, 2016 | Alex Pfeiffer

WASHINGTON — Several Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus Tuesday refused to denounce Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison’s call for a black state. One congressman stated, “I don’t see anything really objectionable.”

.
The Georgia Democrat said he wouldn’t comment on whether Ellison would have to denounce these comments. While Rep. Lewis said previous groups espoused similar ideas for a black state, the New Black Panther Party currently supports it.

The group’s co-leader proposed an idea very similar to Ellison’s. He said that African-Americans should claim a “black nation” in “Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.” Ellison’s black state would be in Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.

You could have a black state - but no blacks would actually move there.

Alex, give me category “Nations” for 100.

A: None Exist.

Q: What is a successful Brown or Black Nation?

All that for 12% of the population? Right.

Well, both of those plans are in conflict with Calypso Louie’s proposal for a new black nation. He wants Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia - which happen to be the tobacco producing states.

I would heartily agree to any of these proposals if and only IF all blacks would be required to move to the ‘new nation’.

Also, a wall would be built around the ‘new nation’ with no roads in/no roads out, no gates, no train stations into the ‘old country’, no flights into or out of the ‘new nation’ to the ‘old country’, no trade with the ‘new nation’.

We could then watch the ‘new-nation’ implode and be amused while Louie and Ellison would try to control the shiftless gibmedats.

But realize that Africans recognize that there's nothing African in "African-Americans".

EXACTLY!

The U.S. already created a “black state”. It’s called Liberia.

Wouldn't it be only fair if the media applied the same rules to both liberals and conservatives?

If that were so, they would be haranguing Ellison not stop about being a black nationalist. The would be blaming the democrats for supporting back nationalism. Only fair, right?

Screw that. If they want a black state, they already have one on their continent of origin. It’s called Ghana. They can go there.
