I've said this crap around here before, Jackson and that other jackass do
nothing but go around and downright exploit the black man for fame and money.
The only real followers Jackson has are the ones that can still make some
nickels and dimes off of the whole poor us race card.
Hey black guys, what has Obama done for you? Nothing!

What I would like to know is why we have to continue to pay for the fact that
some white people owned slaves in the distant past? I never owned any slaves
and my ancestors were too poor to own any so why should I pay for it? Black
people need to get over it and take responsibility for their own lot in life
because they have the same opportunity white people have to advance their
position. I might even say they have more advantages then white people do to
succeed in life because of the high level of political correctness in this
country now. White people can't even use the race card even if it is deserved.
Things will get much worse in this country before it gets better.

The point of anyone except those seeking to once again drag out the handy race
card in seeking support for their own race and agenda are the only ones that can
be found is support of this cast of characters. My $$ is on there being a higher
percentage of racists being found within the ranks of the NAACP than could ever
be found within the ranks of the Tea Party.
The facts are pretty plain and simple here. The NAACP by its very nature is an
organization whose whole purpose, intent and focus is to further, not deride, a
racial position and agenda within our society. Its very acronym itself which
stands for "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People" should leave no doubt in any reasonable mind that it's a race based
and therefore racist organization. Only when implementing the nonsensical
constraints of political correctness can such a purely logical view of this
organizations underlying message be found to be anything BUT racist in nature.
I've often found it so incredibly odd that in the US BET (Black Educational
Television), Miss Black Teenage America/Miss Black America pageants, The United
Negro College Fund and other such obviously racially motivated organizations,
groups and events are sanctioned and blessed by politicians, the media and large
segments of the population while never being viewed correctly as blatant and
outright examples of racism themselves.
The very titles some folks bestow upon themselves here, African - Americans,
Hispanic/Latino - Americans, Asian - Americans, Middle Eastern Americans are an
absolute mystery to me in how anyone can embrace such concepts when these titles
actually manage to do 2 things incredibly well. First and foremost they perform
the very racist act of creating a racial divide by bestowing such titles upon
their group and secondly by quite simply widening the chasm of a racial divide
by delineating all Americans into such a grouping by putting their own race in
the forefront above the idea that they are even in fact AMERICANS! How can such
monikers truly be anything but an open admission of racism by those who use them
to describe themselves?
I'll go all this assertion one better in sayin that
if ever there
were to be a White Educational Television, a Miss White Teenage America/Miss
White America pageant, or a United White People College Fund formed the NAACP
would be the 1st to jump up and down and scream RACISM, RACISM, RACISM long
before they would ever turn their eyes upon themselves and their own all too
obviously racially based organizations and groups

I have to say, I am a little downright refreshed to see lots of articles (at
least online) from people that are not even related to the Tea Party in any way
coming out and seeing what the NAACP is all about, and letting people know about
it.
It's a good simple point, the NAACP is not there to equal things out, the NAACP
is for the
Advancement of
Colored People.... even though they do
only concentrate on the Black Color..... isn't that racist?
Here's an article from T.V....... hey, he's colored!

At this week's NAACP annual meeting, members voted to censure the Tea Party
as "racist." But it's the NAACP that's the throwback, argues Tunku
Varadarajan.
NAACP: Can we all agree that it stands for the National Association for the
Advancement of Cynical Politics?
The proper expansion of “NAACP” has a profoundly archaic ring to it. I know,
I know: The retention of that primordial name—the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People—has to do with safeguarding history; and an
irrefutably impressive history it is, too. But can anyone deny that the
“colored” part of the organization’s name is no longer preservative of
anything that is at all meaningful?
Here we have the Tea Party, one of the nation’s most organic, Athenian,
democratic movements, being attacked by a political organization—the
NAACP—that is among the most sclerotic, dinosaurian, and cadaverous of
America’s political groupings.
Colored: Who the heck says that in the America of today, unless you’re a very,
very old friend of the late highwayman (as in dedicated asphalt, not armed
robbery) Robert C. Byrd? Which is why no member of this once-courageous black
organization will spell out its full name. Everyone says, instead, “N-double
A-CP”: To elongate the abbreviation is to expose oneself to derisive—or,
worse, baffled—inquisition. (“Dad, Mom, what’s with the ‘colored’
thing?”)
The NAACP, this vestigial bone on the American body politic, has thrust itself
into the headlines by voting, at its annual meeting Tuesday, to censure as
“racist” the Tea Party movement. This controversial public
rebuke—delivered a day after the first lady, Michelle Obama, addressed the
NAACP’s conference—has opened up a raw, new racial front in the run-up to
the November elections. In effect, the self-congratulatory, post-racial Obama
camp is reaching for the crudest weapon in the Democratic arsenal: the racial
blunderbuss.
Of course, desperate times call for desperate measures, and the NAACP is going
back to an old playbook. The NAACP is resorting to the Jacksonian (Jesse, not
Andrew) ploy to use the race card (a) to rally blacks to the mid-terms; and (b)
to intimidate the mainstream media, so that it doesn’t report critically on a
liberal administration, urging it instead to focus on the perceived sins of the
Tea Party movement.
If black Americans are suffering due to our current economic woes, Obama’s own
policies are hardly helping them.
The NAACP can’t bitch about “the Man”
anymore because the Man is Obama.[
] And so instead it turns its
racially monolithic vituperation on the Tea Party, which has never been in
power, and has had no impact on the economic condition of black
Americans—except to advocate policies (smaller government, lower taxes,
radically reduced deficits, etc.) that would likely improve the standard of
living of all Americans (blacks included). In fact, the Tea Party is a greater
friend of black Americans, one might say, than the administration, and is much
more representative of America than the NAACP. (There are many more black
members of the Tea Party—however you define that movement—than there are, by
definition, non-black members of the NAACP.)
The NAACP senses—knows—that the electoral momentum is building inexorably
against President Obama. And they hope to slow it by playing the race card. Let
there be no doubt that nothing would have been tabled at this NAACP meeting
without President Obama’s imprimatur—especially with the first lady as the
keynote speaker. Our first black president—with his lowest approval ratings
ever—is using his race politically, through a surrogate. But shameless as all
this is, it may have some effect. As Shelby Steele, a political scientist at the
Hoover Institution, told me, “racist stigma in America is so powerful that
truth and reason look meager next to it. Any populist movement—such as the Tea
Party—that is predominantly white, has this vulnerability of seeming to be a
throwback to the nation’s racist past.”
Michelle Obama’s participation as keynote speaker could prove toxic to the
Democrats in the run-up to the November elections—even though she confined her
remarks to obesity and the like, and steered clear of references to the Tea
Party. Many in America already believe that she is a black militant in mufti,
and her headlining of a gathering which cast the Tea Party as racist will have
been noted by a good many ordinary, non-radical, middle-of-the-road
Americans—not to mention Tea Party activists, who will be sure (and who can
blame them?) to put together little YouTube packages from the NAACP shindig,
cutting from Michelle O to Ben Jealous, the NAACP president who was the
resolution’s prime mover.
So here we have the Tea Party, one of the nation’s most organic, Athenian,
democratic movements, being attacked by a political organization—the
NAACP—that is among the most sclerotic, dinosaurian, and cadaverous of
America’s political groupings. When race is in play, there is vulnerability
all around. The NAACP, and President Obama, will learn that in the months
ahead.

All well said Mr. Kim and Mach. According to our political correctness there
can't possibly be a black racist. I blame political correctness for not
publicizing racism among the black people. I clearly admit I am a racist but
you will be hard pressed to find a black person to admit it themselves. It is
my right to be a racist as long as I don't engage in hate speech publicly. I am
not a tea party member but I am a registered Democrat. To say that tea party
members are racists and not admit that all political parties are racists is just
plain crazy. You will find racists in all walks of life and among all races. I
have know from it's very inception that NAACP is race based and openly racist
but it is our political correctness which prevents people from openly saying it.
It is our political correctness which will be our downfall as a people not just
as a race. I would stop being a racist if the black people would stop blaming
me for slavery and stop trying to turn us into second class citizens instead of
bring themselves up to the level we were without being given it on a silver
platter. From what I have seen the only black people who use the race card are
the ones too lazy to work to advance their position in life. Bill Cosby has
said it many times and to my knowledge has never pulled the race card wich is
why he is one of a few Black people who have my respect

Here is a Tea Party Rep. telling it like it is, you can plainly see that that
NAACP "Leader" Mr.Jealous is just a script reader, not a true leader,
the TP guy cleans house with the NAACP's propaganda.

"That white farmer should take them to court."
Good luck getting a court to hear the case. The suit would never see the light
of day because no court wants to handle any case which might show blacks as
racist but if the defendant was white they would jump at the chance. We have
been brainwashed for decades to believe that black people can't be racist but
white people can. Just like the media brainwashes us to believe that it is ok
for interracial marriages and if anyone thinks it is not ok then they are
racist.

The same way they pass laws to restrict other rights. People want to be seen
as progressive so they allow all kinds of laws to be passed which stomp on some
people's rights because other people don't use those rights so they think it is
ok.
