Mia Love Joins Congressional Black Caucus, The Group She Wants To Destroy 'From the Inside Out'

Tina Nguyen, Jan. 6, 2015, Mediaite

“You have to do it from the inside out. I’m going to see if I can make a difference there.”

Though the Republicans elected a handful of African-Americans to Congress in the 2014 midterms — an historic event, considering the previous makeup of the Republican party — they declined to join the caucus along with Love. The last Republican member of the caucus was Rep. Allen West (R-FL), who lost his seat in 2012.

These FBI and CDC Statistics Completely Destroy The Race Baiting, Police Bashing Narrative Out of Ferguson

By Jennifer Burke, Dec. 3, 2014, Tpnn.com

Despite the fact that the grand jury in Ferguson weighed tons of evidence, including forensic evidence, heard countless testimony from eyewitnesses, many of whom are black, and decided that Officer Darren Wilson was indeed acting in self-defense when he shot Michael Brown, race hustlers like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Congressional Black Caucus, and even Barack Obama himself have perpetuated the lie of massive police brutality towards blacks.

In fact, to listen to them speak, one would think that white police officers are using black males as target practice in the streets. They’ve just about said as much. Based upon their words, one would think that thousands, or even tens of thousands, of blacks are killed by white police officers unnecessarily.

And, don’t try to bring up the black on black crime and killings to these race hustlers. They will take the argument that it is irrelevant and some have even claimed that it is untrue.

They are liars, on both counts.

As the old saying goes, “you are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.” As Barack Obama would say, “Period.”

Civil Rts Commissioner: Obama's Immigration Hurts Black Workers

Dave Boyer, Oct. 27, 2014, Washingtontimes.com

A member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights told President Obama Monday that the administration’s reported plan to grant work permits to millions of illegal immigrants of illegal immigrants would have a harmful effect on black American workers.

Peter Kirsanow, a Republican appointee to the panel, said in a letter to the president and to the Congressional Black Caucus that issuing millions of work permits to potentially low-wage workers “will devastate the black community.”

Obama Silent On Amnesty in Address to Congressional Black Caucus Dinner

Weeks before he will reportedly enact a massive executive amnesty for illegal immigrants, President Barack Obama was silent on immigration when he addressed the Congressional Black Caucus' Phoenix Awards Dinner on Saturday evening in Washington, D.C.

Critics of amnesty, like U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow, have warned that granting work permits to millions of more illegal immigrants would have a disparate impact on black workers trying to move up the economic ladder. The black unemployment rate is 11.2%, and a record number of blacks are not even in the workforce.

Like former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Obama conceded that Americans of all races and backgrounds have been struggling in his economy.

"Our work is not done when working Americans of all races have seen their wages and incomes stagnate, even as corporate profits soar; when African-American unemployment is still twice as high as white unemployment; when income inequality, on the rise for decades, continues to hold back hardworking communities, especially communities of color," Obama told the audience. "We’ve got unfinished work. And we know what to do. That’s the worst part--we know what to do."
