It is very sad, but unfortunately not surprising, to see the depth to which the once proud and heroic National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has sunk. The NAACP which was established in 1909 as a direct counter to the Klu Klux Klan has steadily searched for a raison d’etre in view of its increasing irrelevance as a victim of its own success.
The once respectable organization has gone from a reliable Republican voting group to one that is now home to radical anti-Americans longing for socialism.
Politically the NAACP is as totally owned today as their slave ancestors where owned by THEIR masters. Just as the plantation owners of the old South,...

Not to worry . . . Obambi’s handlers will have the sock-puppet pardon the scumbag before the sock-puppet leaves office.
Once proud and heroic?
I stopped reading right there...
They should also nominate Wayne B. Williams as a civil rights leader.
Right next to Django ?
The NAACP has never been anything but a pack of racist scumbags.
No, un-swung killer.
I saw this story a week or so ago.Upon seeing it I went to the NAACP website,found the “unsung heroes” page,and nominated Colin Ferguson.I haven’t checked back to see if it was actually posted (it didn’t appear immediately when I hit “enter” and refreshed the page).I think I’ll go there now and check.It would be a real hoot if some kid,not knowing who Ferguson is...or one who admires him,...allowed it to go up!!
It’s nothing more than an America-hating separatist group. Suits the current president just fine.
Wesley Cook should be interred !!
Thanks Oldpuppymax.
There was a time when the NAACP was heroic ...
I lived in the South when blacks rode at the back of the bus - really... not metaphorically... and had to drink at filthy drinking fountains next to the ‘white’ ones that offered cooled water. And those things are only the ‘talked about’ stuff.
Much was worse.
And yeah, the NAACP was brave and heroic. They weren’t haters like they are today...

Obama Nominates Cop Killer Advocate to Head DOJ Civil Rights Division

In 1982, former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Abu-Jamal never denied the killing during his trial. He, and his supporters, are still unapologetic for Faulkner’s death. More on this from Matthew Vadum:
“The question of Abu-Jamal’s guilt is not a close call,” according to John Fund. “Two hospital workers testified that Abu-Jamal confessed to them: ‘I shot the motherf***er, and I hope the motherf***er dies.’ His brother, William, has never testified to his brother’s innocence even though he was at the scene of the crime. Abu-Jamal himself chose not to testify in his own defense.”
As Faulkner tried to arrest Abu-Jamal’s brother during a traffic stop, Abu-Jamal shot the policeman once in the back and then stood over him and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Multiple eyewitnesses were present during the crime.
One of those unapologetic supporters is former NAACP Legal Defense Official Debo P. Adegbile, who has worked tirelessly to free guilty murderer Abu-Jamal from prison. President Obama has nominated Adegbile to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as an assistant attorney general to replace radical Tom Perez, who is now the Secretary of Labor. Adegbile is sure to continue carrying out the radical racial agenda of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder with the weight of the law behind him.
After the Supreme Court threw out the Beard v. Abu-Jamal case in 2010, a petition was circulated calling for President Obama and Attorney General Holder to investigate the “long history of civil rights and constitutional violations” in Abu-Jamal’s case. If Adegbile is confirmed, it is likely he will open up an investigation into the Abu-Jamal case, despite multiple court rulings over the past three decades upholding his murder conviction.
On the voting front, there are many concerns about how Adegbile will enforce or change the law. In June 2013, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act as unconstitutional, allowing states to change their voting laws without prior approval from the Justice Department. Attorney General Eric Holder has essentially ignored the ruling.Through his extensive work at the NAACP and in arguments before the Supreme Court, Adegbile has made it clear he does not believe civil rights apply to whites.
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media seems to be less interested in Adegbile’s radical ties and more interested in his role on Sesame Street as a child actor.
USA Today: Obama taps ex-Sesame Street actor for Justice post
Not every child actor grows up to be a high-ranking Justice Department official, but Debo P. Adegbile has a chance to do just that.
Adegbile, who appeared on Sesame Street during the 1970s, has been nominated to be the new assistant attorney general for civil rights; President Obama submitted the nomination to the Senate on Monday.
If confirmed, Adegbile would replace Tom Perez, the new secretary of labor.
The Los Angeles Times reported on Adegbile’s previous career:
“When he was 4 or 5, a friend noticed an ad seeking children to audition for Sesame Street. Adegbile landed the job and played the part of Debo, a child of the Sesame Street neighborhood, until high school.
Adegbile will testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday at 10 am et. You can watch live here.
