Thread: The NAACP

Why is the NAACP still necessary? There's a black prez, a black AG, blacks in Congress, blacks in power everywhere; why are black caucuses, black colleges, black scholarships, black TV/radio/magazines, Affirmative Action, etc, still necessary?

Is it OK for me to call a black "coloured" since that's in the NAACP's title? Why is Michelle Obama continuing to divide the country on racial issues by attending the NAACP mtg and saying more needs to be done for black kids? As First Lady, don't all American kids matter? Are only black kids poor, fatherless, poorly educated?
I remember when Obama was running for prez and I said the nation will become more divided in terms of racial discord. Many here called me a racist. Well, Folks, it's happening.

Now, the NAACP wants to condemn the Tea Party for being racist!

The NAACP is poised to vote Tuesday on a resolution to condemn the Tea Party movement as racist, despite claims from Tea Partiers that the measure is just a political ploy.

Here's michelle's NAACP speech.

NAACP has a long and distinguished history.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sure, I'd like to see a post NAACP society, but the USA is not there yet. There are Lobby groups for seniors, gun nuts, corporations, industries, and countries like Israel. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with there being one for coloreds too. NAACP is one of the few remaining uses of the now un-PC term 'colored' btw.

^ The KKK had a long & distinguished history, too, depending on who you ask.
Why are these groups needed now? They just divide the people instead of making everyone American. Blacks still need coddling and suck up to make it? For the most part, I know they do not and the smart blacks see these groups as an affront to their intelligence, race and ability to move on.

Don't you Canadians have something similar?

The socialist govts.

Why is the NAACP still necessary?

The NAACP isn't really necesarry today.

There are many federal, state, and local laws in effect.

Its seem the NAACP is basically a lobbyist and special interest group today.

Well, it wasn't long ago that this happened...

And this just happened...

I doubt few people will change their views whether they are black or white. Hate has made hate and distrust in the nation. It's not easy to erase the past. It's funny how some hold up the past for one point then hide it for another.

^ Hmmm, got any refs on whites being tortured, raped and killed by blacks in the past year? The prob is that any time a white commits an act like this against a black, the NAACP, ACLU, Sharpton et al strike up the band to make it look like racism. Time's up for that, IMO.

And then there's this: Republican Tim Scott from South Carolina spoke out against the NAACP’s racist attack on tea party patriots today.



Give 'em Hell, Tim!

The above crimes have nothing do to with the NAACP.

The NAACP stand for the "National Advancement of Colored Poeple."

The crimes you note above are in the field of criminal justice.

No, if you know of incidents where whites have been tortured then it is your responsibilty to post the linka.

This is the whole problem that you face....

"Tea Party organizers routinely defend themselves against charges of racism, disavowing racially charged signs that appear in their protest crowds and provide fodder for Tea Party critics"

^ Ending the problem how? By keeping the country racially divided? Blacks get more than enough funding for schools. Why do blacks trash their own neighbourhoods so supermarkets don't even want to set up biz there coz they always get robbed? Making blacks think they are entitled to special treatment because of the slavery from 100 years past is asinine. People do not succeed and make something of themselves on hand-outs; most just lay back and expect to be coddled and taken care of. That's why they love the libbies who pander to them and then accuse Republicans and hard workers who do not want to pay for this as racists.

I thought this was hilarious:
Many of you probably grew up like I did — in a community that wasn’t rich, not even middle class, but where people knew their neighbors, and they looked out for each other’s kids.
In these kind of strong African American communities, we went to neighborhood schools around the corner. So many of us had to walk to and from school every day, rain or shine. I know you’ve told that story. And in Chicago, where I was raised, we did it in the dead of winter. No shoes on our feet — it was hard, but we walked!
Michelle Obama’s NAACP Speech (Transcript)

Oh, sobby, sobby. No shoes? Oh, her school was just around the corner. My Mom walked five miles across fields to school in -40 weather; I only had to walk about two. So what? Our fam was mid class, too, and everything michelle talked about we went thru as well. So fekin what? Do I cry about it? No. The USA is way better today that it was in the 60s, but why has the black community disintegrated with all the bennies it has gotten? Why?

Hey, brother, you posted NO links for anything you just said.

And, the "racially charged signs"? Show one and prove it was a Tea Partyer and not an Obama plant. I bet you'll say that Tea Partyers shouted "nigger" at lawmakers, spit on a lawmaker and called Barney Franks a "fag". Honey, as we have noted before here, left-wing camera crews followed all of these incidents at close range. There is no proof. Breit Bart has a $100,000 reward up for anyone who can provide proof that the acts were done. No takers. Know why? Because they didn't happen.

Oh, and FYI, there is now a Black Tea Party Movement. Why the addition of "Black"? So these folks can directly address the racists of their race and show that they are for fiscal responsibility, the Constitution, and lower taxes. Nothing racist about that, Jack.

Some African-American tea party candidates are displeased by a resolution that the NAACP approved on Tuesday calling the grass-roots conservative movement “racist.”

“I have not experienced the charges of racism that the NAACP is touting,” Vernon Parker, an African-American tea party congressional candidate in Arizona, told POLITICO.

Parker, former mayor of Paradise Valley, said that he has never felt out of place at a tea party rally because of the color of his skin.

“When I go to tea party events, people don’t look at me any differently,” he said. “They didn’t judge me on the color of my skin, quite frankly, they judged me on my principles."
"The NAACP should be concerned about bringing jobs to people in depressed areas,” he added, “not the tea party.”

First one I have to say, which makes me wonder if you even read it, is that the piece that I posted came from your link, so I saw no need to re-link it.

You are so blinded by apparent hatred that you can't see the simple facts. I bolded a part of your statement. You don't get that this is exactly her point. Don't look for the government, or the white majority, to take care of black people's issues, they need to take care of it themselves.

As for the school funding, inner city schools, where the majority of minorities live, receive much less in funding than suburban schools. This is not just a black issue, one of the groups that are seen to be the most at risk are hispanic females. Yes you slam me for not having a lnk to a story about it. I will try to find one after dinner.

They are not looking to segregate themselves. This is no different than a Jewish group or an Asian American group or a group of nursing mothers, who focus on issues that are specific to that group.

I agree. Actually both the 'pity me' Afro-American brigade and the Teabag Right are too quick to play the race card, much too quick. With these rather vocal elements of society quite prominent one could hardly describe the USA as a uniformly post racial society, or close to it.

Michelle's speech was pretty good actually- of course bear in mind she was talking to the NAACP. I noticed she's still banging her drum about childhood obesity.

OK. Here's some data. Only torture? Here's some crime stats of black on white in the USA done by (shock) an Aussie. Interesting reading, especially the part where black on white crime increased dramatically after the Civil Rights Act was passed.

Race and Crime in the USA

A bit of torture for ya (note that the NAACP did not respond to this crime):

Your choice of RW blog to quote ('diversity is crap') leaves you quite vulnerable Jettie dahling.

here are some tea bag signs to chew on, not all racist, some just offensive

You are quoting a 15 year old article? The stats show that whites kill whites and blacks kill blacks.

There is a higher percentage of blacks killing whites 14% v 7%, but that is a known, that there is an issue. Also, more people get killed in cities where minorities are a higher percentage of the population.

Lastly, you seriously want me to find credence in a site called white-history.com?

I know this is a liberal site, but this is the best I am going to do tonight regarding hispanic girls and education, and yes it is old

Fewer Caps and Gowns for Hispanic Girls

Heh...if that were so, how come Jamaicans, Brazilians (the black ones), Trinidadians etc don't trash their neighborhoods?

The answer is a culture of entitlement American Blacks have become used to. They can sit around and collect welfare checks and produce more children 'cause the American government allows them to...

I hate being painted as a bleeding heart, but some of the posts on here leave me little choice.

Ok, to simplify it. Those other groups did not have their families intentionally torn apart. One reason that the black society is so matriarcal is that the men were separated from the women, leaving the women to lead the households. I know this ended 150 years ago, but the family structure was set.

If you think most want to sit around collecting enough money to allow them to live in a shithole.....sad

Which one is 15 yrs old? I checked the dates on the news stories, 2007 and on.
What's wrong with the white history site? It's Australian.

Show a linkie for the black on black/white on white crimes, please. Are we supposed to trust you just coz you say so?

Scroll down to the second table and do some math. I did not include other races, as this has been a black/white thing for you.
