Black Conservatives on 14th Amendment and Anchor Babies

Project 21 members Bob Parks and Niger Innis (also of the Congress of Racial Equality) share diverse responses to a question from Steve Keyes of Think Progress about the issue of the 14th Amendment as it pertains to birthright citizenship and the problem of illegal alien "anchor babies." Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently suggested a new constitutional amendment to clarify the guarantees of the 14th Amendment may be necessary. This clip was taken from a gathering of black conservatives at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on 8/4/10.

The Project 21 black leadership network is a program of The National Center for Public Policy Research.

The majority of whites did not vote 4 obama because he was black. They voted 4 him because they wanted change. Obama is mixed half White and Black. So they need 2 get their words straight. They talk about all Americans are the same but the way they talking they believe in the 1 % rule because Obama is white 2. Most African Americans are mixed anyway with White Indian and other. So give me a break! No one but the foreigners are 100% Black.

Cheap labor is the original intent, why should we protect jobs now?

Slavery are the original intent, why should we give citizenship now?

Black conservatives are just a cover so that bigoted right wingers can say what they want without ever being held accountable. Some of these guys have given white supremacist such as Jared Taylor a platform to speak at their conferences.

Individual rights are anathema to collectivists. Black conservatives are anathema to modern liberalism. How dare these people leave the plantation where they have been given shelter, food, protection? Ingrates. //sarc off

That hat is pure genius! I hardly heard anything these folks were saying. I did hear racial terrorism being mentioned. Right wing conservatives in Dixiecrat form remain the most prolific racial terrorists in US history. I wonder if in the case of these people, being conservative is like blacks taking ownership of something formerly aimed at them, like the word nigger or something to that effect?

They sound like a first class idiots. If anybody should have any understanding of the 14th admendment should be africian americans because it moved them from property to citizenship. It was not for illegals to come in this country and have children and make them citizens. This is all about a vote which they wont get because anybody who is NOT on the right side of this issue in wanting to ratified the 14th admendment will not get the votes.
