	Numbers USA
		Choose Black America Argues that Black Americans have already been severely damaged by decades of uncontrolled illegal immigration and stand to lose even more if 12 million, or more, illegal aliens are granted amnesty.

		Black America was then admonished and chided by white Republicans and Democrats of all colors for not embracing Senator Obama based on some foolish standard of fl authenticity.

		Among the barriers, say scholars and social activists, are a lack of news media attention, fl leaders' focus on surviving critical domestic problems, the fl community's lack of focus on international issues and the perception that the Darfur campaign is largely the province of the Jewish community.

		The Black Panther Party stated in its ten point plan that it wanted them to be exempt from military service, while other organisations, if not so explicit in their aims, were sympathetic to, and supportive of, draft resistance.
