Like Gregory, Ellison has not run as well as political, but as an activist. And, like Gregory, his being black is both everything and nothing to do with its meaning. The company is try, but is still not colorblind: in result, the first ads that nobody looks good in Congress is that is black. And with that white skin and Caucasian features (once with the white and black alike) who is the spitting image of a black man non-threatening. So, no doubt, being black is prominent in the public profile of this type. Ellison, however, do not ride in the race card for the Congress. He puzzled human subjects, who crossed color and class lines. And he did better. Dick Gregory lost.

Despite conventional wisdom, people do not vote religion or race, the block vote. [They] voice matters and interests. Their hopes, what they take to heart. "As religion, Ellison said he had not Congress is a Muslim, but a member of Congress who happens to be Muslim. "So I'm push a progressive agenda. Things [as a place of America] "Essentially a military power to establish better relations with the] country [do." With concepts such as debt cancellation, fair trade, human rights.

My nation the United States, he played a role active in the struggle for peace. "For Martin Luther King Day, elbow grease Ellison put it where his mouth is not just speaking as a humanist, but literally pulling the top of the sleeves – a full day of public appearances – to help the needy (and looks even poorer vote).
