Earlier this month, , a right-wing African-American street activist from Los Angeles, was presented on Fox News鈥� 鈥淗annity & Colmes鈥� as the leader of a group of prominent black activists opposed to undocumented immigration.

Trouble was, his group, (CBA), doesn鈥檛 really represent black people at all. It is the creation of the (FAIR), a white-dominated and mainly white-led organization that has been agitating for years for lower levels of immigration. FAIR, in fact, has accepted more than $1 million from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation that funds writers seeking to prove that black people aren鈥檛 as smart as whites.

Last year, Intelligence Report writer Brentin Mock almost half of CBA鈥檚 original members, most of whom had no idea who the other individuals in their coalition were before they showed up for a press conference organized and paid for by FAIR. One said that if he had known the right-wing politics of some of those invited by FAIR, he never would have attended. Since that press conference, CBA has been virtually inactive, although it still serves to help FAIR deflect accusations that the anti-immigration movement is dominated by whites with bigoted attitudes toward Latinos.

On the Aug. 16 edition of 鈥淗annity & Colmes,鈥� Hayes spoke of a recent news conference he held to address the murders of three African Americans in Newark, N.J., by Latino perpetrators 鈥� one of whom was undocumented. Hayes claimed he was attacked at that news conference. 鈥淭hey threatened my life,鈥� Hayes said on the show. It was a black person who 鈥渁ttacked鈥� Hayes, but he still blamed it on 鈥渁 rabble of Hispanics and some white folks.鈥�

More to the point, Hayes was presented as the new 鈥渓eader鈥� of CBA, taking over from , another nativist African American who sits on FAIR鈥檚 board. When Mock talked with Hayes today, Hayes said he was not elected to the leadership position but appointed. 鈥淚t was a de facto replacement, a joint agreement between me, the people at FAIR, Frank鈥� . It was a consensus thing.鈥� Hayes assured the Intelligence Report that he had 鈥渟ent word out鈥� to the original members. 鈥淭hey said, 'go ahead and lead us. We鈥檙e right behind you,'鈥� he said.

Choose Black America suggests, in effect, that black Americans chose it to represent them in their struggle against Latino immigration. The reality, no matter how it is presented, is that FAIR chose the group and now has chosen Hayes to lead it.
