NAACP LDF official and opponent of race neutral law enforcement Kristen Clarke defames Tea Party

Kristen Clarke of the NAACP LDF has no idea what she is talking about. In a CBS interview she states:

"Kristen Clarke, Co-Director of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Political Participation Group, said in an interview with Hotsheet that 'there doesn't seem to be a color blind approach to many of these so called ballot integrity efforts and poll watching initiatives that are underway.  The reports that we are hearing about are very troubling,' she said, suggesting that poll watchers are being 'largely assigned to monitor African American and Latino voters.'"

This is false.  And she should no better.  Sadly, it's not unexpected from her.

First of all, this is the sort of preposterous and ill informed statement that flirts with defamation, and perhaps it is time that some folks in Houston return the favor. Clarke's argument that minority areas are being targeted, particularly in Houston, is a bald faced lie. It is defamatory, and if she is speaking for her organizations, both she and the LDF should be held to account.

Second, this is the same Kristen Clarke that testified under oath multiple times that she did not know who “C.C.” was at the voting section in a deposition with the Civil Rights Commission investigating the New Black Panther dismissal. She denied knowing who C.C. was despite working along side “Christopher Coates” on Section 2 cases in places like Kentucky and other parts of the country. She knew full well who C.C. was and her claims to the contrary are not to be believed.

Third, this is the same Kristen Clarke that seemed keenly interested in having a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers dismissed. While working for the NAACP LDF, she asked voting section lawyers if the case had yet been dismissed. Clarke is famously obsessed with disparaging race neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws. She never wants the voting rights act to protect white voters. She stated this position to numerous people on numerous occasions. One example was meeting with leadership of the Civil Rights Division in 2008, when she made her views perfectly clear.

Reporters should ask Kristen Clarke in future interviews if she supports race neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws. They should ask her if she opposed the New Black Panther case. They should ask her if she supported the case against Noxubee MS political boss Ike Brown, who was found liable for violating the voting rights of whites. Clarke is a notorious opponent of equal enforcement of the law. She has no warrant to falsely criticize groups who are monitoring the election. The only person in this debate who views the law with a racially suspect lens is Clarke.

I believe this is done for intimidation!

[jazusamo]

Probably so but after the first of the year the racists in DOJ and people like this Clarke will be singing a different tune in front of House committees investigating this, IMO.

Black on the outside, red on the inside.

The NAACP association with the Communist Party of the USA is well documented.

“Much of the information I will present is taken from a book called Biographical Dictionary of the Left which was written by a Francis Gannon and was published by Western Islands back in 1969. If you can still find this book somewhere, I would recommend it.

The NAACP “emerged” in 1909, supposedly to promote equality and rights among the races. Needless to say, it has done neither.

However, the formation of this group was urged by the leading radicals of that day, among whom were Jane Addams and government school “educator” John Dewey. Other radicals were among the first officials in the organization. Among these was Oswald Garrison Villard, grandson of the infamous abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison.

The first president of the NAACP was, strangely enough, a white man, Moorfield Story, a lawyer from Boston. Black radical WEB DuBois, who later joined the Communist Party, was the organization’s first director of publicity and research, as well as editor of the group’s monthly publication The Osiris. This publication gave DuBois an excellent outlet from which to pour forth all manner of racial invective against whites, supposedly in the name of “promoting equality.”

According to the Biographical Dictionary of the Left, “Long tenure in office has also been characteristic of the NAACP’s presidents—all white men: Moorfield Story (1910-1915), Joel Springarn (1915-1940), Arthur Springarn (1940-1966), and since 1966, Kivie Kaplan.” Since the Biographical Dictionary was published in 1969, obviously some things have changed. However, it is interesting to note how long the organization had white presidents, almost as if the radicals didn’t trust the blacks to take the organization in the proper direction (to the left).

WEB DuBois, one black that did hold a prominent position, was no problem because he was already on the left. DuBois was known to have “hailed the Russian Revolution of 1917” and he travelled to the Soviet Union in 1926 and 1936. He especially liked ‘the racial attitudes of the Communists’.”

In 1922 the NAACP started to receive grants from the Garland Fund, a big source of funding of Communist Party projects. Officials of the Garland Fund included Communists William Z. Foster, Benjamin Gitlow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and Scott Nearing. Other prominent left-wing officials were Roger Baldwin, Sidney Hillman, and Harry F. Ward, the “Red Dean” of religion in America.” The Garland Fund continued to pour money into the NAACP until around 1934. Even when the money stopped, the Communist connections continued.

“In 1938, the NAACP was represented at the World Youth Congress, a Communist enterprise. In the 1940s the NAACP was affiliated with American Youth for a Free World, the American affiliate of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, a Communist clearing house.”

A most literate apologist for the NAACP was the well-known Langston Hughes. Hughes was affiliated with Communist Party projects from the mid-1920s until he passed away in 1967. In fact, in 1962, Hughes wrote a book entitled Fight for Freedom: The Story of the NAACP. In this book he stated the following:

“Attempts to label the NAACP subversive, Communist-influenced, or out and out Communist have continued for a long time.” In light of the evidence available, can anyone with a brain honestly wonder why?

The organization has, from time to time, gone through the sanitized ritual of “opposing Communism” but this has been a self-serving action designed to keep the support of those that are astute enough to see communism as a problem.

In 1946, the NAACP helped the Communist Party in one of its major political projects, the establishment of the Progressive Citizens of America—the basis for Henry Wallace’s Communist-dominated Progressive Party in the 1948 presidential election.

In 1953 the Communist newspaper Daily Worker recommended that Communists and labor unions “give every possible support to any and all campaigns conducted by the NAACP.” One can only wonder if this strategy has changed in the intervening years”.

What is it about Tea Party these dumasses don’t understand?

Tea Party people is an All-America Image. Across the board regular people.
Not select groups like NAACP, CAIR, ACORN.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[jazusamo]

You’re right on the money and all these groups understand that and are scared to death of the Tea Party movement.

[True Grit]

When threatened, all the people know to do is scream race.

[One_American]

...And she should no better...

Huh?

[jazusamo]

Must be shorthand. :)

[SC_Pete]

They do understand. They HATE America. In their RACIST worldview, White people stole the wealth of the world and consume more than their fair share and so Obama has to take it away and redistribute it.

I think it has a lot to do with complexion.

[sergeantdave]

Okay, the liberal female is drooling moron. Now what?

Do I get a prize for pointing that out?

[jazusamo]

You’re right as rain but I ain’t got any prizes. :-)

[sergeantdave]

Your acknowledgement is good enough for me.

Thanks.

Next time you come around near my house and you smell chocolate chip cookies baking, you stop, knock on the door and ask for the baker. I’ll answer.

I’ll send you home with a few dozen cookies for you and your kids.

Cheers.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Yeah, and we’re the racist?

I think that card has been around the table long enough.
It’s worn thin, torn on the edge and everyone can see it’s a marked card....so they’ve gone on to rigging the voting machines, buying votes, out and out fraud and then there are the judges that choose to side with the socialist.

They CAN NOT WIN without all this.

I hope for their sake the youngin’s that voted for 0 will wake up to the fact that they’ll have to make a lot of money in the future to pay off the debt that
he has brought upon them. They will be the socialist’s slaves. That would make 0 very happy.

[jazusamo]

Thank you, FRiend, that’s an offer I couldn’t refuse.

I love chocolate chip cookies, from the time (longer than I want to admit) my Mom made Tollhouse ones.

FRegards.

Now Biden’s picked this bigot for the DOJ Civil Rights Div.
