The Southern Front: Strange Bedfellows
The shape of things to come, or a novelty? If nothing else, this story about black groups in Los Angeles teaming up with the Minutemen Project shows that somebody in the black community is willing to part from the conventional wisdom. And you've got to appreciate the historical sense behind the name of the Crispus Attucks Brigade.
Several black activists plan to join members of the Minutemen Project to protest illegal immigration, which organizer Ted Hayes touted as the "biggest threat to blacks in America since slavery."The protest, organized by Hayes, [with the] Crispus Attucks Brigade and the American Black Citizens Opposed to Illegal Immigration Invasion, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
Hayes, a homeless activist, alleged that most homeless people in Los Angeles are black and illegal immigration compounds the problem since blacks refuse to accept the "slave wages" that many illegal immigrants accept.
As might be expected, half the story goes to an "immigration activist" criticizing the protesters.

Outstanding item. Throws a wrench in most race-oriented politics. I'll look for mention of this in next year's Black History Month.
