The NAACP is Racist

By on 7.13.10 @ 8:58PM

The NAACP’s ludicrous resolution against the Tea Parties today is a sign that the once-proud organization is nothing now but an increasingly irrelevant, hopelessly intellectually corrupt group of race hustlers. For the record, it was an NAACP lawyer who, by multiple accounts, lobbied the Obama/Holder Justice Department to drop the case against the New Black Panthers. Now THAT is racist. The NAACP attorney was coming to the defense of a group whose president praised Osama bin Laden within half a year after the 9/11 attacks. These people are sick, sick, sick. Sick, and racist. Viciously racist. Meanwhile, as both Deroy Murdock and Tim Scott have explained, the Tea Partiers are absolutely not racist. I’ll stick with Murdock and Scott over the racist race hustlers of the NAACP.

Maybe. But blacks and Mexicans treat others better than whites, in my experience--
perhaps because nonwhites have less to lose. Evan Ravitz is a guy sharp enough to be a professor, but he chose to be voted "Best Activist" in town. Anyway, it was very revealing when he mentioned to me that Mexicans are civilized. Well they are, considering their condition.
But it is being cowed, intimidated by the third world cesspool Mexican government, not being civilized!
Cowed!

Only an intellectual could be so stupid.

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 12:18AM

You're out of your mind. The worst fights I've ever seen were between Blacks and Mexicans!

TheMadKing| 7.14.10 @ 4:35AM

Um, last I checked illegal Mexican gangs in L.A. were ethnic cleansing neighborhoods of American blacks. Come again?

JmsA| 7.14.10 @ 1:19PM

Alan Brooks,

Here's a word for you, Mr. Brooks: Mayate. Google it and let me know what it means and the context in which it is used by Mexicans, OK?

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 7:23PM

If I used the same rhetoric and agreed with you, you would be sucking up, JmsA.
But we are all ultra-biased at AS, it isn't Scientific American.

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 8:14PM

"Um, last I checked illegal Mexican gangs in L.A. were ethnic cleansing neighborhoods of American blacks. Come again?"

LA is no more the center of the world than NY is.
However I grew up in NY, and blacks were not the problem for MY family.
As for your family? who can say for sure?

JmsA| 7.14.10 @ 8:30PM

Alan Brooks,

Since you won't deign to answer a simple question, I'll do it for you. Mayate is what Mexicans call blacks in Mexico. Mayate is best translated as scarab or dung beetle. I believe you are indeed ultrabiased, as is the NAACP--which by the way has just put the lie to your claim that blacks treat others better than whites, including the fact that some of its members not long ago referred to a black victim of their caring and loving ways in Missouri, an "Uncle Tom."

As many others have pointed out, the Tea Party is comprised of many sectors of our society, including blacks, latinos, asians, etc. No one has come forth with any evidence of what that just pulled back hateful resolution claims, other than, of course, unsubstantiated hearsay. And by the way, I don't suck up to anyone, particular ignorant leftist racists--some of whom regularly troll around this site. Besides, didn't you hear? After all the blustering and spiteful name calling, they don't even have the balls to proceed with their hateful charade. What a joke! Don't get me wrong, though, I think that politically what the NAACP and the rest of those who think like it, including the "kill the white cracker babies" dude, will play right into the hands of your political opponents. So knock yourself out.

Mr. Brooks, I would also suggest that you visit the City of Los Angeles, so as to expand your obviously very limited experience, and see how Mexicans treat blacks--whom they have and continue to increasingly dislodge from neighborhoods where the latter have lived for generations.

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 9:00PM

Fair enough, I am biased in my extreme cynicism, and you are biased in your Republicanism (or perhaps you are a libertopian or something else).
But you CANNOT seem to grasp (how many times will I have to write this?) that referring to me as liberal is a compliment! Progressives-- real liberals-- generally have a more positive view of humanity than I do. Otherwise, to what purpose the progressive in progressivism? You are smarter and more educated than I, but how frightfully thickheaded you are.
I just happen to get along better with blacks, that is all-- blacks can see I'm like Norman Bates: "wouldn't hurt a fly."

Do you want the explanations to continue? shall I write them in Latin, JmsA?

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 9:07PM

these PSs are included because you are like attorneys, some of you; every pettifogging point must be covered as if in a courtroom.
i KNOW what LA is like; of COURSE blacks are being pushed around by Mexicans, naturally; blacks are even lower down on the food chain than Latinos. If your mind wasn't going in so many directions at once you would comprehend that such is one reason Obama was elected president

JmsA| 7.14.10 @ 10:36PM

Alan Brooks,

You're twisting all over the place. You're not a liberal or progressive; you're a cynical contrarian with a touch of mechanical disdain towards those who doesn't see the world as you do. Also, there's no pettifogging going on, I just simply addressed your overly simplistic, yet quite erroneous generalizations. As to your querie about writing to me in Latin, I reply: Age. Fac ut gaudeam. An nescis, mi amicus, quantilla sapientia mundus regatur? Suum cuique pulchrum est.

And finally, about that crack about being thickheaded, who do you think it most fittingly applies to, you or I? After all, your obstinate arguments for an increasingly inept and failing administration couldn't more readily demonstrate your own thickheadedness. By the way, regarding Scientific American, it is not as objective and true to science as you claim it to be. To wit: http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerl.....-american/

Happy reading.

Nate| 7.13.10 @ 10:22PM

Mr. Hillyer --

You should look at a few explicitly white-supremacist websites or pamphlets. They make arguments that sound a lot like yours. I'm sure you're not as crazy as they are, but arguing that the NAACP is "racist" is just nutty -- as any sensible American would tell you.

Look at it this way:

Racism in this country has a specific history and social reality. The abstract concepts "race" or "racism" aren't a problem to anyone: the actual, real, documented, recorded, confirmed, and definitive systematized oppression and exploitation of blacks by whites for hundreds of years HAPPENED. It's not a hypothetical problem in one of these infernal think-tanks.

Racism in this country is about white supremacist views; it's about maintaining white privilege. "Reverse racism" -- while not impossible and not fair if and when it happens -- is by comparison to the historic legacy of racism against blacks rather a small issue.

Crooz8er| 7.13.10 @ 10:29PM

Bro you should change your handle to "Self Hating Whitey Nate" or "DNC Talking Point Nate."

So can those of us who are White but whose ancestors didn't own slaves (heck mine didn't get to America until the 1930s), can we like get a sign or something so blacks don't kill our cracker babies? Not that that's RACIST or anything, only Whites can be racists, but all the same, thought I'd ask.

Alan Brooks| 7.13.10 @ 11:16PM

No, Nate is correct, the overreaction by many, including many in the Tea Party, to Obama. Carter was the real threat to America, not Clinton or Obama.

It is the overreaction to Obama that makes it all the more imperative he is re-elected; the shifting (maneuvering) minutiae of politics no longer interests me-- though it is necessary to prevent GOP-Dem collusion-- however preventing a power hungry dynasty such as the Bush's is the primary issue IMO. It is unlikely another Bush will be elected POTUS, but did you think before '99 that Dubya would become president. I just don't want another second-rate Republican president-- and the incumbent Obama is our best defense against such an outcome.
BTW, freedom is nothing compared to power.

Alan Brooks| 7.13.10 @ 11:33PM

You wont admit there is a violent overreaction to Obama, some of it from the Tea Party?
What sort of people are you?

Ever since Reagan left office you have lost your anchorage.

Concern Troll Spotter| 7.14.10 @ 12:11AM

Concern troll spotted.

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 12:20AM

What violence? Please present it to me so I can get my $100,000 from Breitbart.

Typical liberal nutjob--all hot, fetid air and no substance. Violence always comes from the Left.

Ryan| 7.14.10 @ 8:12AM

Overreaction, maybe. Violent, no.

Shannon| 7.14.10 @ 2:38PM

What overreaction? In your opinion--not mine.

Spike| 7.14.10 @ 10:08AM

"You wont admit there is a violent overreaction to Obama, some of it from the Tea Party?"

Overreaction, yes. Not to Obama(personally), but to his radical policies.

Violent, no. You want violent, google "king shamir shabazz"

btw, why do you list Carter as the real threat to America, and not Obama. Is it because Carter is no longer in power, and isn't up for reelection.

Occam's Tool| 7.14.10 @ 12:41PM

I don't think there has been an overreaction; and I know it hasn't been violent, but peaceful, unlike the Left. Obama HAS incited confrontation and violence.

JmsA| 7.15.10 @ 1:19AM

I remember Newsweek, I think it was, touting Bush as a possible republican presidential candidate in 1998 or 1999. No doubt they believed he could be easily defeated by Al Gore.

Contrariwise to your comment, "BTW, freedom is nothing compared to power," the overwhelming majority of the people, save for the leftist fringe that wishes to control everyone else, want to simply want to live in freedom, enjoying the fruits of the hard labor. That comment would best be direct at the One, who by all indications is shaping up to be no better than a third rate president.

TheMadKing| 7.14.10 @ 4:38AM

Oh, so when three black punks put me up against a wall when I was a kid in Boston and put a knife to my stomach for laughs because I was white, I can blame that on the history of the KKK? What an idiot!

Tim*| 7.14.10 @ 7:35AM

Al Sharpton ,The NAAACP , Jesse Jackson , The NAACP ,The Black Panthers ,The NAACP ,Louis Fartakhan ,The NAACP .......

Has Been Hold Over Race Hustlers Seeking Negative Attention And Funding By Playing The Race Card ,Then Playing The race Card ,Then Playing The Race Card ,Then.........

Cracker| 7.14.10 @ 9:12AM

The last resort of a loser is to play the race card. Yawn, yawn, yawn. The Tea Party obviously has the upper hand. The NAACP is no longer a valid organization. They are trying to create a race issue when none exists, otherwise they'd be out of a job. NAACP better put up with proof or shut up. You know, the kind of proof like the video and audio of the voter intimidation, racist rant, hate speech and call to violence against white people (opps, sorry I mean crackers) by the New Black Punk Party. It's old, tired, no longer carries any weight, and sensible Americans have had their fill of this nonsense. I say it again, bring on the proof or go the hell away and stay away. Much like bogus racist charges are no longer taken with concern or seriousness and laughed at, so are you Nate.

ds80| 7.14.10 @ 12:48PM

Nate and Alan Brooks ...

Why are you scared of Tea Party members?

Susan| 7.14.10 @ 1:06PM

Because they're both liberal weenies.

Nate's Mom | 7.14.10 @ 2:44PM

Na-a-a-a-a-ate!

Barry| 1.14.11 @ 2:20PM

You say the past is important and the present B.S is not an issue. Do you live in another century or decade or do you live in the present. Nates and Tyrones and Shaniquas get their asses kissed for being black so no wonder you say it's a small issue.

Quin| 7.13.10 @ 10:28PM

Nate, you sniveling lump, don't lecture me about white racism. I spent three years fighting against neo-Nazi David Duke, serving as a founding board member of the major, internationally acclaimed group formed to fight him, breaking news stories exposing his continuing Nazi ties, surviving physical confrontations with his goons and enduring threatening phone calls. I fought white supremacists when it really mattered. I also have a long, long history of fighting other white racists and fighting for black rights and black opportunity, a history amply recorded elsewhere.
Why is it "nutty" to say that it is racist for an organization to accuse a public movement of being racist, directly against available facts, while that same organization lobbies to protect the virulently racist and anti-Semitic New Black Panthers? I almost never use the word "racist," but the NAACP now has earned it, for precisely the reasons I provided, and more. I back down not one iota from my post.

Nate| 7.13.10 @ 10:47PM

I'm not sure what your record has to do with it, Mr Hillyer. You seem like an educated man so you know the appeal to ethos has its limits -- whether you're detailing your CV or accusing me of being a "sniveling lump." I'm not speculating about your motives or the secrets of your heart, and I'm basing my claims on what you've written and what I know about American history.

Alan Brooks| 7.13.10 @ 11:22PM

Nate, you are top-flight; please do not let anyone here intimidate you. Besides, when people get riled they say more of what they think.
The only time I was very offended here was when Old Texican reacted to my writing at AS that I had decided definitely to vote for Obama in '12--
Tex practically threatened to have me burned in Hell.

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 12:21AM

From Tex's lips to Satan's ear.

bava | 7.14.10 @ 12:23AM

Nate, the white-supremacist websites you mention are not main stream. In fact they are denounced by main stream conservatives. The NAACP is a racist organization, well received by liberals and and main stream media as legitimate, while all the time it spews anti-white racism. It is an outfit about control and power over blacks, and not about bettering the lives of blacks.

Occam's Tool| 7.14.10 @ 12:42PM

Quin---good on ya, man, but avoid the ad hominem. It's wasted on tools.

ds80| 7.14.10 @ 12:56PM

I note Nate's invincible blindness to Quin's response establishing his credibility re: racism.

And Nate's strawman: that it's the white racism of the previous century that matters, not the black racism of the NAACP, New Black Panthers, Obama Justice Dept occurring today.

When "sniveling lump" fits ...

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 1:09PM

Nate conveniently fails to take democrat ownership of racism toward blacks. Democrats are responsible for slavery, segregation and Jim Crow laws.

Nice projection, libtard.

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 7:31PM

"From Tex's lips to Satan's ear."

What, are you saying Tex has Satan's number on speed dial? My experience is that blacks & latinos are easier to talk to, but, again, they might merely have less to lose.

Nobama| 7.15.10 @ 12:35AM

You're a hell of a lot closer to Beelzebub than Old Tex.

Nate| 7.13.10 @ 10:42PM

Or, look at it this way:

Let's say everything that's being claimed about this "new black panther" story is true. Let's say bullies showed up at a polling place and physically intimidated white voters. I'm not sure how many voters are said to have been intimidated, but let's say it's one hundred. Or one thousand. Or what you will.

Now these "new black panthers" have little appeal to the vast majority of Americans, black or white. I'd never even heard of them until Sean Hannity started in on this issue.

If the charges are true, these men have committed a serious crime, and they should be punished appropriately.

But since the language of "voter intimidation" invites us to compare this incident to the intimidation of black voters, let's do that.

For a CENTURY, blacks were intimidated throughout the south. This intimidation was carried out not just by paramilitary terrorist organizations; it was condoned and perpetrated by many of that society's institutions, including the government itself. Blacks faced beatings, bombings, arson, murder and rape -- all at the hands of people who had tacit or explicit approval from the very authorities who were morally obliged to protect them.

It's true that such activity has stopped or virtually stopped, but the beliefs, customs, and habits that produced it continue to influence us. Whites secretly suspect that those they tormented will one day want to torment them, forgetting how pragmatic and basically forgiving is the American soul. Such suspicions distort their judgment, if nothing else.

What I'm saying, then, is that comparing an isolated incident of "reverse racism" to the actual, historical legacy of racism against blacks requires you to compare APPLES AND ORANGES. Comparisons are onerous.

Curtis Rasmussen| 7.13.10 @ 11:20PM

Nate, you thoroughly useless useful idiot. You just used up your last ticket punch on the race card. Yes, my family has suffered racism in the early parts of the last century and before. Now dumbasses like you argue the hypocritical double standard that somehow, racism is OK if black people do it today? Racism is racism, you butt-sniffing poodle . End of argument.

Alan Brooks| 7.13.10 @ 11:25PM

Are you kidding? even if you don't like Nate, you will have to admit Nate writes professorial comments, in both breadth and depth.
Nate is like Cornel West sans the anger.

Curtis Rasmussen| 7.13.10 @ 11:44PM

Nate talks of racism but it was the KKK that carried out the lynchings, killings, beatings, and voter intimidation with the open approval of the Democratic Party. As a matter of fact, the 1924 klanbake at the DNC convention brought these vile scumbags in close proximity to each other. The 'professor' conveniently left that part out.

What’s the matter Alan? Feeling a bit snitty after being chased off of a thread because of your own racially biased comments?

http://spectator.org/blog/2010.....olution-co

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 12:22AM

KKK was a democrat organization--democrats haven't changed a bit.

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 7:42PM

"the KKK that carried out the lynchings, killings, beatings, and voter intimidation with the open approval of the Democratic Party."

So? Stormfront, David Duke, etc, can say the the Union attacked the South in 1861 with the open approval of the Republican Party. Lynchings, killings, beatings, and voter intimidation are as nothing to the Civil War.
I just get along better with blacks than whites; that's all. The Godfather said that a man does what he does without having to justify every little thing. The Godfather knows best; Italians are cleverer than all of 'em

Alan Brooks| 7.14.10 @ 7:47PM

Most of all, how can you write that I'm liberal? Nate is a young, positive, fair-minded progressive-- I am not. I'm an old cynic.

Liberal?? flattery will get you nowhere!

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 10:07PM

You and Nate are Collectivists; nothing new under the Marxist sun.

Nobama| 7.14.10 @ 10:09PM

Curtis is a Black American, dumbtard.

Curtis Rasmussen| 7.14.10 @ 10:46PM

And I'm part Italian. Alan could not stick his hoof in his mouth any further.

Missy| 7.15.10 @ 12:40AM

But most importantly, Curtis--you and I are AMERICANS! Why do democrats try to divide us? I don't understand--and I never will.

SoCon| 7.15.10 @ 12:47AM

"Butt sniffing poodle." Now THAT is funny!!

Curtis, can I borrow it so I can use it on Nate? Haha.

L.E. Powers| 7.14.10 @ 12:12AM

Nate, your arguments are circular. Based on what you say, there is no way somebody can overcome the past, so we should just give up, go home hide in the closet and let those who were once oppressed be given all the droits and be grateful they don’t punish us more.

The very fact we have laws addressing voter intimidation is precisely because we do learn from our past (albeit slowly) and want to move forward towards Dr. King's vision of a colorblind society. I don't know anybody who is a white supremacist, and would not associate with someone if they were. I was raised in a family that did not tolerate its members being disrespectful toward anybody. To the contrary, we were taught to encourage all people to succeed to their highest level. I would be willing to wager most Americans would agree with me on that point. Most of us do not have customs or beliefs that put down "those they tormented" because we have not tormented others.

It is interesting, however, how those who have made a career of playing the victim do not want to acknowledge the progress America has made in the last 50 years in this area. Their actions indicate that they believe until NOBODY utters a critical word against them or their constituency, racism continues to exist.

Mind you, judging from the statements coming out of organizations like the NAACP, these people believe that any criticism of President Obama is racially motivated. Since when is disagreeing with the President racism? Only a few years ago these same people (and many democrats) were arguing that disagreeing with the then sitting president (Mr. Bush) was an act of patriotism! Why is dissent no longer patriotic? The argument is idiotic.

It is these same people who are trying to claim that Arizona’s immigration enforcement laws are racist. Most Americans see past this and realize that securing our borders, just as every other sovereign nation does, is not racism. Most Americans understand that our “melting pot” country’s strength is due to the vitality of its immigrant population. Most Americans are for immigration – LEGAL immigration.

As for the New Black Panthers, there were contemporaneous news reports about the incident, they just were not widely circulated. That the Justice Department is deliberately not prosecuting the case is recent news.

We started correcting the injustice done to blacks beginning in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves in the states in rebellion. Lincoln, a white man did that. Whites enacted the legislation that enacted the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Many people, black and white, played important roles bringing attention to the issue, standing up to bigots, even changing the hearts of very important bigots of that era, such as Thurmond and Byrd.

When something is wrong, it is wrong for everybody. Our imperfect world tolerates wrong at times; sometimes for a very long time. But past bad behavior is no excuse for current bad behavior. Good behavior does not excuse past bad behavior or the toleration of such. But good deeds done following the repenting of a wrong should be welcomed. It is our deeds even more than our words that count.

TheMadKing| 7.14.10 @ 4:42AM

What happened a hundred years ago has NOTHING to do with this case! This happened in 2008, not 1868 or 1964. Typical white guilt liberal who has sacrificed his intelligence and reason upon the altar of PC. If he was even intelligent to begin with. I have serious doubts. Seems a pretty small mind to me!

Ryan| 7.14.10 @ 8:16AM

I'm all for historical context, but what you're addressing doesn't fit.

There is NO excuse for racism. Ever. Simply because there have been historical racism against black does NOT excuse the actions of the Black Panther and does NOT mean that he should not be prosecuted.

Failing to enforce the law is actually the bigger problem here, not racism. Injustices in the past are NOT made up for by excusing present behaviour.

Justin| 7.14.10 @ 7:35PM

I can't figure out why the Libs main argument seems to be "We should allow white voter intimidation now because we shouldn't have allowed black voter intimidation back then"

Call a spade a spade. This is racism, even if you're willing to tolerate it because you think we deserve it. You don't earn discrimination, and it certainly can't be earned for you, decades before your birth.

Gee, I wish I was a terrorist. Then it'd be downright stylish and "modern" to support any rights I might have....

John - TMF| 7.14.10 @ 12:02AM

This century and a half has been wracked with the agony of 2% of its population slaughtered in penance for its founding sin. It dragged itself though the agony of social, institutional, and legal prejudice to this point.

Americans of all races used admire an organization like the NAACP. It was a beacon of enlightenment, education, equality of opportunity, and basic justice. It has now shed any vestige of that noble set of goals.

A lesson was taught to me by my father. I was assigned the biography of a great American and I was having difficulty understanding why such a great man's teaching would end in the race riots of the late 1960's instead of peace and good will.

"The soul once washed in baptism is like a pain of the clearest glass... Hate is the finest silver it lures us into a false sense of worth... It washes over our soul as we bath in its false promise of grandness... Upon our judgment God will command us to look into our souls for the object of our manifold sins... That who we hate the most will stare out at us in astonishment and horror.

The NAACP no longer strives to advance it demands people be cast aside, eliminated, removed to slake its smoldering hunger for vengence... It has ceased standing for good. That is truly not what its founder intended.

"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." -Booker T. Washington

The NAACP has given in to hate.

" The NAACP is Racist ...."

Indeed - venomously so!

Exhibit A: Bond,Wright, Farrakhan etc - previous illuminaries honored at the NAACPs' perennial watering-hole for bitter clingers of a repugnant stripe.

Forthwith, no less, a cameo appearance by BHOs' wife to add special color to this election years' Tea-Party-phenomenon bashing by the hocus-pocus NAACP.

Class - real class!

Bob K| 7.14.10 @ 8:29AM

This is a Federal Republic. And so, in ascending order:
All politics is racial.
All politics is ethnic.
All politics is religious.
All politics is local.
All politics is state.
All politics is national.

Bob K.| 7.14.10 @ 10:40AM

The organized political classes begin at the local level and they use the largely unorganized politics at the 3 lower levels to advance their own power and agendas. In a sense, although they may never have heard of it, they follow Talleyrand's dictum about "statecraft:" Which is "the art of using by any method and subterfuge possible, for as long as possible, the postponing of the time when the mob will hang you from the nearest lamp post!"

Which explains why they encourage and promote through the media and educational institutions programs like "Diversity," "Affirmative Action," and "Amnesty" which inevitably result in racial, ethnic and religious strife. Not to mention economic upheaval.

Bob| 7.14.10 @ 10:56AM

Now that a black president has failed and dramatically so people of color will do what the do best blame white boys and look for excuses to riot. 1960's anyone?

martin j smith| 7.14.10 @ 10:57AM

Every troll whop posted are racists. Every troll whop posts is opposed to freedom of speech and infact the who consititution and bill of rights. Let me be very blunt. Tis so called reolution of this so called organization is an arm of the so called "President" who is acting like he owns the nation.
I believe the Tea Party folks are as well behaved a group as you can get --try the Black Panthers. What the hack are they doing in front of a polling place with one guy having a billy club. What about selected seiu types beating up various protesters ? I am sorry to say but its not the "tea Party" but the American people as a whole who have had enought of this anti-democratic,fgascit-like regime. That is why the NAACP past this really obscene peice of garbage.

Paevo| 7.14.10 @ 12:13PM

Any organization which promotes one race to the detriment of another is, de facto, racist. Whatever the mitigating circumstances may be--"social justice," "greater equality," etc.--are irrelevant...

ds80| 7.14.10 @ 1:02PM

The "C" in NAACP says it all: racist.
They've been called on the carpet, to the discomfort of apologists like Nate and Alan Brooks.

CommonTater| 7.14.10 @ 1:52PM

If the C stands for Coloured and white is the presence of all colours while black is the absence then why are their ranks so filled with persons of no colour?

Oldefarte| 7.14.10 @ 1:59PM

As Reagan once said.....THERE YOU GO AGAIN; and it certainly applies to this constant bombardment of one wordism such as RACISM, GENTRIFICATION, DISCRIMINATION, DISENFRANCHISEMENT, HOMOPHOBIC, ZENOPHOBIC, etc and whatever. Not only is same sick, but it's asinine and imbicilic. What is needed is intelligent reasoning, not one word labeling. The truly ridulous aspect is that the NAACP once previously issued an advertisement stating, A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE! Those debating the linkage of previous and present situations of racial/ethnic disenfranchisement fail to recognize one fact, and that is that previously, it was GOVERNMENT that legislated/enforced the needed LAWS to correct same, whereas now, it is the same GOVERNMENT that is fostering, politically covering up, and breeding racial disharmony/division by its policies and procedures. The same [current] government is using race/ethnicity as a tool to achieve it desired political goals. The federal administration [your GOVERNMENT] is suing the state of Arizona over its representationally passed immigration law that duplicates the similar federal immigration which it/government refuses to enforce. This same administration [through its Justice Department] has also refused to enforce the federal voter intimidation laws BECAUSE the perpertrators are African American [if same were non African American, they would now be sitting rightfully in jail awaiting trial]. This same administration also chooses to disobey the law [as judged by a federal judge's ruling AND a three judge federal panel] by imposing a drilling ban on Gulf offshore drilling strictly due to their partisaned political wishes to placate their supporters in the environmental movement which has attempted for decades to stop/prevent drilling. Why does this current government do such things? Simple, they are domestic terrorist dictators disguised as political leaders, and are intent upon taking over this country and effecting their CHANGE. They are taking over healthcare, medical insurance, housing, banking/credit, energy and the legal system. And why are they allowed to do same? Simple again, because American taxpayer-voters acted very, very STUPIDLY on 11/4/08 when they elected this President [extremist liberals have always existed in this country, but when THE CHOSEN ONE was elected, they felt safe to completely COME OUT OF THEIR POLITICAL CLOSET]!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Double standards abound, and the NAACP is complicit in most. Example: diversity in college recruiting efforts. Historically black colleges (HBC's) do not have dedicated staff or departments to recruit "diverse" students (Asians, Hispanics, Caucasians, Native Americans, etc.), but other tax-payer supported colleges are almost required to. Why the double standard? And why is the NAACP complicit in this? Is it or is it not racist to knowingly and willingly avoid recruiting members of a student population because they are "different"? It would be at any other US college, so again: why the double standard at HBC's?

This is the most idiotic statement I ever read in my life.

"Maybe. But blacks and Mexicans treat others better than whites, in my experience--"

And shows how badly people have been brainwashed and misinformed, and what a problem we really have.

What is true, it that when faced with a choice to support a so called "white issue" usually a conservative or patriotic issue, they will support each other politically, or as with Obama, it's race first, party second, country last, or never.

The naacp is nothing more than a racist group,so is the black panthers Obama andHolder are to because they will not prosecute the new black panthers. W hy because they hate whites and jews. It a guy in a kkk uniform, said he hates all niggers and we have to kill niggers and nigger babies to be free. Jesse my nigger Jackson would have parachuted from 30,000 feet and been Johnny on the spot crying racismism from the highest mountain in America. He is what Obama, holder Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, ALL are Black racist.

Bigot Kirk is a democrat troll who shows typical liberal "tolerance." We reject hate, Kirk, including yours; stop trying to start a race war.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Black Supremacist groups like the naacp have gained huge followings in the wake of our nation's election of a half-black president.
The tide must turn, the naacp must ne shown for what it is, RACIST TO THE CORE.
