"The amnesty issue is being distorted. This is not about the rights of people here legally or of equal rights -- it is about people who are here illegally wanting everyone to ignore the fact that they broke the law to get into this country," said Project 21 member Geoffrey Moore.

I thought this whole thing would be insulting to black people. I'm glad I was right.
To: Darnright
Black leadership in advocating the right of ILLIGAL ALIENS to protest and boycott are not being pragmatic nor realistic.
Blacks only hope is to join Whitey and fight for their birthright. Blacks will be the first to suffer under Hispanic political control.

You would think so. After all, illegal aliens drive down wages, and take jobs that should go to Americans.

As proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens stage nationwide protests and work stoppages, members of the black leadership network Project 21 point out that the movement's comparison of illegal aliens' quest for preferential and expedited citizenship benefits bear no comparison to the hardships endured by African-Americans during the civil rights era.
I'm glad that the black community seems to be onboard with this. Or at least some of it.

Black Americans have already been laid off from relief work job in NOLA in favor of illegal aliens. Now they know what it's like to be shafted in favor of a more PC group. Welcome to our world.

I was wondering how long this would take. The "black entitlement" political hacks are now worried that the "illegal immigrant" political hacks will take their power and money.
Where there is only one pie, the slices get smaller as more people eat from it.

It's insulting that illegals are couching their protests as the same as those of civil rights protestors.
Nobody has said that Mexicans, or for that matter people from other countries who come here legally, are not welcome to go through legal channels to become citizens; and thus to be afforded rights as Americans.

Are you sure you read the article? Project 21 is a conservative organization and wants no part of entitlement, black or otherwise.

"Blacks will be the first to suffer under Hispanic political control."
True. The traditional Mexican national dislike of blacks is amazing. They still have blackface shows in Mexico.
Moreover, blacks and newly-arrived hispanics are largely in competition for similiar jobs and opportunities.
The fact that the so-called black leadership is not the first to demand a wall on the Southern border is damning evidence regarding how far they've sold themselves out to their masters in the democratic party against the interest of their supposed "people."

Not to speak for another poster, but I think that was a reference to the rejection of Project 21 by the Congressional B.C.

Seems like this amnesty-for-aliens is getting its butt kicked everywhere except in the Senate and from President Bush. I suppose we are expected to believe that amnesty will be OK as long as we insist that the National Anthem is sung in English.

My bad, didn't know about Project 21, my apologies.
