Keith Ellison Once Said Black People Don’t Have ‘Obligation’ To Obey Government

He seems to be the perfect choice to lead today's Democrat Party.

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.”
“You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that considers you to be less than human,” Ellison said.

To be fair, none of us are under obligation to obey the government.
But we must be ready for the consequences if we don't.

He's talking about breaking the law. He's saying black folk don't have to obey the law.

Democrats are going to bury themselves for years if they let this kind of voice publicly run the party.

I am in shock, honestly, that they picked this guy. They have essentially said "frick the white vote forever."

Republicans need to sit back, stfu and let this clown show happen without incident.

They think they have enough white females locked in to combine with minorities to win. They've abandoned the white dude and the working class.

Keith Ellison ONCE said 15 years ago.
Not a fan but it was a pretty heated time. Different time.

Do you happen to know the real reason as to why we have the 2nd amendment?

If he said this in the days of slavery or even the days of segregation I'd say he's right. But he said it in 1992.

That has nothing to do with your legal obligation to the gubment.

Ask Randy Weaver how that works out.

Our own Constitution gives us the right to defend ourselves from anyone, including our own government, if we ever feel as if we lost our freedom. But that doesn't mean there won't be any repercussions.

Yes, there are repercussions because it's illegal. Therefore we are obligated.
You have an obligation to pay taxes. If you don't, they'll throw you in jail and/or garnish your wages.

I don't think they can afford to lose the white working class permanently. That's nearly every Midwest state and a huge part of Pennsylvania.

Well in all honesty, most black people today don't follow the law.
