The NAACP statement could just as well been the statement of the Democrat Party. The Dem Party is avowedly for racial quotas. The party is racist to the core; yet, Dems are the first to loudly pronounce others as racists. They probably do not even appreciate the Orwellian nature of their statements.

The Democrat Party is one of the few institutions whose members are proud to be (a) racists, (b) thieves, and (c) murderers. What a great bunch of people!

In case anyone has forgotten, there used to be a website – http://www.bushorchimp.com – that featured pictures of Bush and chimpanzees in similar poses. You can still find archives of this site on the Wayback Machine.

I cannot even imagine the response to a similarly themed Obama site.

Moving on, the first commenter has a point. The biggest problem is not that the NAACP or $PLC make allegations of racism against their opponents. The biggest problem is that others respond to these charges and shun the unfortunate target. This is how Trent Lott lost his post. This is how countless others get burned because their so called friends abandon them at the first instance of such a charge.

The best way to fight this is to stop responding to these racial shakedown artists in the first place.

(1) A little more on the NAACP vs. Tea Party pissing match:

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/16/are-tea-parties-racist-is-al-qaeda/?ref=opinion

I often disagree with the Times but equating Obama with Hitler and Lenin is hyperbole in bad taste but not inherent racism. After all, Bush was the previous Hitler. Holocaust trivialization is a commonplace occurrence with a HITLER DU JOUR to be chosen among ones political opponents. Remember that to Bush # 1, Saddam was “worse than Hitler” as Clarence Thomas was to the Hawaii NAACP.

(2) About the NAACP. The struggle for the betterment of African Americans has included opinions by Booker T. Washington (education and self-improvement) vs. W. E. B. duBois (political struggle). To some extent, both points had validity. To go back to everyone’s famous analogy, certainly Jews in 1940’s Europe did not suffer for lack of education. But in 2010, blacks no longer have to travel 40 miles to a dinky schoolhouse, lynchings are virtually non-existent (or, in the case of the Duke lacrosse team, the other way) , and have equal (or “super-equal”!) protection of the law – but the NAACP views everything as if it is still 1909. Black self-improvement is too difficult for them. Hence, they suffer from institutional Alzheimer’s.

It’s not just the White Guys critical of the NAACP’s statements.

It seems the NAACP is never satisfied with the progress Blacks have made in the U.S. It seems it has been around forever and, if it has, doesn’t it mean that it has been a waste of time, money, and effort because if it was an effective organization, solutions would have been implemented already, wouldn’t they have? This organization is one that cannot, in its collective mind, ever see itself disbanded because of achieving its goals because its leadership would be out of work. Ignore it for it has become a dinosaur and is irrelevant to the global world of today and no self-actualizing achiever even thinks about it. Good-Bye NAACP…start a business and make that happen for your self-pitying members. PS: Perhaps the persecuted Blacks of Darfur would welcome your organization if you had the guts to go there and support them instead of acting so offended in the “evil” U.S. I am s-o-o-o tired of your message.

Right on Nobody. Don’t give the NAACP the time of day. Everybody caters to them because for the last 30 or so years our young people have been brainwashed that they are dealing with that combination of near infallible geniuses and perpetual victims of the white man’s cruelty and greed. When I am called a racist the last thing I do is acknowledge it. Treat em like they deserve. Ignore their posturing and foolishness. In fact, treat them just like you would treat any other non-privileged group, whites, for example. While that’s completely fair, most of them couldn’t handle a level playing field.

It is obvious now that the Tea Party Movement has been co-opted by the political establishment. When I read about this over the weekend it made me sick. The only way to fight organizations like the naacp is to punch them in the face with the truth. The political establishments types are nothing but gutless cowards.

Joseph Farah also mentioned that CAIR is now looking into anti-Islamic “bigotry” in the Tea Party movement (naturally, he mentioned CAIR’s detailed non-examination of intolerance among Moslems).

On the other hand, since the NAACP DEFINES racism as criticism of Obama and since the Tea Party seems to be a rather incoherent coalition of people opposed to Obama – they can never be wrong.

Much of the 2007-2008 Tea Party consisted of Ron Paul opponents of big government Warfare-Welfare statism who also opposed McCain and the like. Now we have an official Tea Party “establishment” cheering on God-knows-what such as how waterboarding former Taco Bell clerks contribute to my freedom or whatever…. To that extent, the controversy on “racism” takes on the intellectual caliber of a giant pissing contest.

Best way to fight the NAACP, SPLC and others is to ignore them when you can and hit them square in the face when confronted by them in public forums. Don’t back down and don’t cower at the word “racist” which translates in today’s world to mean “a white person” and nothing more.
