Democratic congressman and DNC chair front-runner Keith Ellison once said that “black people don’t live in a democracy” and “don’t have an obligation” to obey the government.

Ellison made the comments at a 1992 protest after white police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King. At least 63 people died in the racially charged riots following the verdict.

Minnesota newspaper the Star Tribune quotes Ellison as telling a group of protesters in Minneapolis that “Black people do not live under a democracy.”

Ellison holds edge in DNC race survey

As Democrats head to Atlanta this weekend to vote on their party’s next chair, the race to lead the Democratic National Committee chair is coming down to its two leading candidates.

Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn.) has the edge over former Labor secretary Tom Perez in The Hill’s new survey of DNC members. But while both men claim they are close to securing commitments from the majority of the 447 voting members, neither candidate is assured victory.

The Hill has identified the stances of 240 DNC members, either through their private responses to a survey circulated over the past week or from public endorsements.

Out of those who responded, Ellison leads with 105 supporters to Perez’s 57. The remaining major candidates have less than a dozen supporters each, while more than 50 DNC members remain undecided.

It’s possible that a mass movement by undecided voters or a broad change-of-heart could push either candidate to the 224-vote threshold for a first-ballot victory, but it appears likely the race will head to multiple rounds.

I sure hope he wins. The GOP can make this anti-Semitic, racist muslim the face of Obama's community organizing party.

A bunch of Somalis settled in Minneapolis; and that picture shows housing projects. I'm rather sure the Riverside housing projects are where a great many of the Somalis settled and it can be so isolated in the cold of winter, that radical recruiters could move in and try to recruit them into namely Al Shabaab, the terrorist organization back in Somalia.

Some say, Christian organizations (ELCA, Catholic Charities) trying to do good, helped settle these refugees, that is not the total truth though, I'm sure the government, Federal, State and Local played their part as well.

So, Ellison is elected to a small district where from what I gather, many of the Muslim Somalis live.

I have a dream that children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

That's racist talk.

I have a dream that children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I will buy into that, when 90+ percent of blacks in America, stop voting for socialism.

Until then, I say there is a correlation of their skin color, with the content of their characters.

The Democrats are officially here.

I have read comments from conservatives on the far far Right who have said the same thing. Lunatic fringe on the Left or Right are really not that far different.

The old leftist saw - my people were oppressed sometime in the distant past, so that makes us now above everyone else and the law; and we can take what we please, and oppress other people, because we were oppressed.
