The race issue is once again at the forefront with organizations like the NAACP calling for the Tea Party to purge itself of racists and denounce them.
Good, fine, I for one do so with no regret. Racism has no place in an enlightened society and damn sure no place in any organization that I am a part of.
Now that I have done my part I call on the NAACP and organization like it to purge themselves of racists and denounce them as well.
What? You say that black people cannot be racists? What a ludicrous supposition. This type of thinking is what allows racism to flourish when it should be nothing but a distasteful footnote in history.
Some black leaders and black academics seem to hold to the theory that racism is strictly a “white” thing. I would argue that racism can exist in a mans heart regardless of the color of his skin. Before I dig into that let me offer proof of the above assertion that black leaders deny racism can exist outside of the white community:

Just ask the O.J. Simpson jury.
Watch out...new FR member “Hear me” (June 2010) has appointed him/herself as the “racist police” here on FR...and s/he’ll report you to admin if you post anything that the media or the libs might think is “racist” here on FR (which usually doesn’t have to be much more than “good morning”).
Black people can’t be rasizts... go to Africa, see it first hand... my tribe is better than yours, no, mine is better....then they settle it the old fashioned African traditional way by genocide!
Each and every year there is a new one somewhere there...i think its codified in their genes!
But then one can argue tradition. Manifest or latent?
The purveyors of this snake oil are relentless because even though they may or may not have convinced themselves that it is true, they are daM sure the strategy has worked so far.
But if power is the determinant of whether someone can be considered racist, then obviously many blacks qualify.
The NAACP is unquestionably powerful. As are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Calypso Louie Farankhan, etc, etc.
Even their twisted, self-serving definition doesn't exempt many racists of color.
Can I type: Cracker? Cracker Cracker Cracker? Cracker Babies? Cracker Death?
You haven't been studying your Marx, have you, Komrade! If you had, you would know that the oppressed minority can't be racist because racism requires a significant presence in the power structure in order to be exercised.
You will be registered for Brainwashing ... er, I mean, Indoctrination ... class immediately.
A lot of this hoo-ha is”the best defense is a good offense”. Blacks have sort of flown under the radar for some time in terms of responsibilityany real critical thinking by whites. Whites have been guilt-tripped into opening their wallets, and excusing and looking the other way at intolerable actions and behavior in the name of “tolerance” ignoring the extensive destruction to our country and society caused by common black sociopathies.
Hell, want to talk crime? want to talk about the coarsening and rot of our culture? want to talk about the dumbing down of our schools? want to talk about whose subprime loans banks were forced to offer have been defaulted on causing financial problems?
White guilt is thankfully evaporating. BO has done a lot of good in a perverse way by waking up clueless people who had all this going on under their noses. The financial crisis, along with cities telling citizens the cops can’t be there for them, etc have forced people to rightfully think of their survival, and their loved ones survival-PC is a luxury and a false fantasy.
The NAACP damn sure won’t like a harsh objective critical look at the “CP” in question. So this is a pathetic preemptive strike to try and short-circuit it.
Not just black leaders and academics, but white ones as well. Every time I hear someone talk about "reverse racism", I want to puke. Racism is racism is racism, regardless of who's practicing it against whom.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The very notion is akin to saying “the underdog can’t cheat!”
Imagine if fouls weren’t called against the team that was behind in the score.
Saying it does not make it so.

The latest in a long line of self-righteous intruders to FR over the years.
That's one of the requirements of all good Lefties: Impose your standards on everyone.
Free speech and thought means free to say and think anything that has been approved. Anyone found doing otherwise is subject to whatever means necessary to disrupt them.
The black race baiters and the people who believe them,... have become what they claim they despise.
I will NEVER forgot how they celebrated the acquittal of a black man for murdering a beautiful white woman and her Jewish date.
The NAACP is a racist organization because it is an organization that promotes one particular race, its decisions and motivations are based on race.
If someone wants to make the argument that this type of racism is acceptable, that is different argument I suppose, but no one can logically claim the group isn't racist.
You mean Spike Lee got it wrong???
Marc Lamont Hill argued on the O’Reilly factor the other day that blacks, due to a lack of institutional majority, are incapable of racism. Two seconds later, they show King Samir Shabazz scream about killing white babies.
That’s exactly what I was taught in college. In order to be racist, you must possess power.
I have run across this poster and think they are a liberal troll.
... black people cannot be racists ...
This line has been around since the 60s, propagated by Communist based organizations. This lie has been repeated so often, that many minority (as in non-white) actually believe this crap. Once accepted, you have a disposition to practice and promote hate towards white people. This is exactly what the Communist want, namely, conflict and division.
This lie leads to self-defeating attitudes too. Even if opportunity is pounding on one’s door, these attitudes blind one, and keeps one down. Young people, especially, fall for this because it is an easy way to avoid taking responsibility for yourself.
This is pure evil, and those who preach and peddle it are to be condemned in the most strongest terms.
Of course, white libtards promote it because it eases their guilt. Instead of facing reality, and themselves, libtards gladly promote this evil too!
JMHO
Start hitting "Abuse".
Exactly - the justification for that (retarded) statement is that without power, racism was impossible. However, now with a brother in charge, that little game is tossed aside.
Go to downtown Detroit and declare, as a white man, that you have “institutonal majority”.
Let’s see how well that works out.
The silent majority will be heard in November. The numbers will be so overwhelming, no amount of demoncrat voter fraud will matter.
THE NAACP LIED.
Knowing how liberals operate, we can expect some ACORN type to carry a sign like that at a tea party in the future - and our people will take pictures of the person's face - and prove it's a lyin' liberal. You bought into their crap - before you come off holier than thou, you need to find out if there's anything behind what they say.
I remember the old South - I remember hearing lies about blacks too - by Democrats. The same bunch lying today... just a different color.
Goes along with my saying that hate crime laws were created for the express purpose of putting Whites in jail for anything they may say or do, or not say or not do, and to allow non-Whites to go free for any crime they commit against a White.
One has to take the NAACP in context of what they really are.
It is not an organization out for the “advancement of colored people”.
It is an organization out for the “advancement of communist principles”.
The organization is using the “blacks” or the “colored” people tag as a tool to carry out their agenda.
While the leadership may look black and most members of the organization might be black, their agenda has very little to do with advancing the “colored people’s” agenda.
The agenda for the NAACP is the same as that of the progressive party of the U.S., aka the Democratic Party.
After seeing their hopes continue to evaporate for the 2010 congressional elections, the democrats, via the NAACP, is trying to deal a blow to the “Tea Party” in order to retain control of congress. The “Tea Party” is a big threat to the democrats and to anybody with a progressive agenda, and the democratic party leadership is using the race card, through the NAACP, as a tool in trying to stop the “tea party”. The branding of the Tea Party as “racist” is not about racists in their ranks; it’s about the democrats and the black wing of their party (aka, the NAACP) trying to hold-off their removal from control of government.
Which brings up a point: Why is there not a republican or conservative “leader” condemning what the NAACP is doing to the real grass roots movement of the country, aka the Tea Party movement?
How does a boofer order a shake in a Howard Johnson’s restaurant?
Answer - I’ll have a HoJo, Mofo!!
We better have a hell of a turnout, the Dims will get 5 points from fraud this November.
I’ve listened to enough academics, activists, and pundits to know the score. Their racism is not about what you find in the dictionary. It’s not about “us vs. them.” What lies in the heart of each individual is not at issue. It’s about “institutional racism.” It’s about power.
Which makes me wonder why they didn’t start talking about power in the first place. Because Tea Party types have no power. That’s the whole point of their protests, so far as I can see. Ah, but they’re of the same skin color as the people who are in power, and as such benefit from institutional racism, thus becoming “part of the problem.” And by being racists in their hearts (if they are), they perpetuate the institution, and therefore are no better than the ones who discriminate on purpose. Plus, whether or not anyone in power ever does it on purpose anymore, they did so before, setting up a mindset (or “ideology”) amongst those it ruled, thereby perpetuating their power across the generations.
So no white person in America can ever be not racist, for America (the institution) started as racist and continued to be so for a long time, and as long as it keeps on being America, it will forever be so.
“if power is the determinant of whether someone can be considered racist, then obviously many blacks qualify.
The NAACP is unquestionably powerful. As are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Calypso Louie Farankhan, etc, etc.”
Not to mention Obama. Or rather half of Obama.
“Marc Lamont Hill argued on the O’Reilly factor the other day that blacks, due to a lack of institutional majority, are incapable of racism”
Yeah, but he’s an academic. Big surprise. Pull their string and that’s what they say. If anything else came out, they’d be sent back to the factory as defective.
Few years back there was a screwball report from some liberal college professor I think it was that basically said it was impossible for minorities to be racist.
I’m trying to find that thread. It also included a link to the .pdf document in question. I’m sure someone here at FR will remember the title, college it came from, or even the FR thread about it.
Blacks have been fully enfranchised for half a century, even while their culture continues to marginalize large sections of the race. Yet that hasn't stopped them from claiming victim status. One of the other key elements of Marxism is that you never give up ground. The paradox is that being a victim actually empowers a group in today's upside-down world. So the more blacks can claim to be victims, the more power they have, which betrays the Marxist lie that they are indeed victims!
But don't tell Rev'n Al and Jessuh that.
Yep. That's the lie. I challenge that as utter hypocrisy. If blacks are indeed powerless, then how is it that they get to define what is racist? That in some senses is the ultimate power: the right to frame the debate, and to establish rules under which your opponent can't win.
So I demand that either blacks give up their claims of powerlessness or they cede the right to define "racism." They can't have both.
