NAACP Leader Shows True Colors
The NAACPs attacks on Senator Tim Scott illustrate the anger and increased intolerance of the political left. Having falsely staked the claim of embracing diversity we see another example of the lefts tolerant hug excluding those who do not subscribe to their liberal agenda. Its not personal. Its not racist. Its not mean spirited. Its COMMON SENSE to NOT subscribe to their failed liberal policies that lead to dependence on an unstable and bankrupt government.
But heres another example of how the supposedly tolerant left treats an African American conservative who doesnt subscribe to their failed liberal agenda:

Tim Scott was raised by a single mother, started working at age 13, faced challenges through school, and then met a mentor a local Chick-fil-A operator who taught him how to think your way out of poverty. With that, and strong work ethic, Tim's commonsense conservative roots took hold. Tim became a successful small businessman, Congressman and U.S. Senator. He is an honorable man who judges people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, and seeks the same for himself.
With too many purposefully dividing America on the basis of race and gender, its imperative that we who strive for a truly United States, under God, take a stand! Dont be afraid to call out hypocritical double standards applied to independent Americans who are continually falsely accused of discrimination and intolerance. Playing small and timid in this era of potentially great progress towards American solidarity helps no one.
Take a stand! Help leaders like Tim Scott get re-elected in 2014. We need more strong leaders who, like Tim, are conservative because theyve learned from life experiences, not poll driven messaging, what works for our great country.

Why am I called a racist if I call “african americans” the term Colored People?
The NAACP always have shown who they are..they are a bunch of Commies who need more and more blacks on the Dem plantation to stay in power..what the NAACP(Which should be renamed to the National Organization For the Advancement of Communist Propaganda) can’t stand is seeing a black man who refuses to be a liberal, someone who refuses to live off the Govt booby
This paragraph really jumped out at me:
“With too many purposefully dividing America on the basis of race and gender, its imperative that we who strive for a truly United States, under God, take a stand! Dont be afraid to call out hypocritical double standards applied to independent Americans who are continually falsely accused of discrimination and intolerance. Playing small and timid in this era of potentially great progress towards American solidarity helps no one.”
Is that a warning to the GOP who’d rather avoid the malicious charges of racism and sexism that the left plays so deftly?
“Why am I called a racist if I call african americans the term Colored People?”
It is interesting that the Naacp never became the Naaaa.
If I were Tim Scott I would simply point out to the NAACP that its not the first time a slave defended his master.
I guess it’s just how language evolves — for better or worse. My grandmother used “coloreds” and “colored people” and it was weird to me. “African American” sounds pretentious and fake. I don’t mind “black” and “white”, that makes more sense. JMHO
"You think you got it bad."
It’s amazing how easily the left has been able to pen the Black People in America into their little plantation, where the only acceptable choice for them is to vote Democrat, support Democrat policies even as they destroy the future of their communities and children, and demand nothing less than full-scale HATRED of Republicans.
And their strongest hatred is for Republican women and minorities, because the success of any of them is a direct threat to their base of support, as well as proof that they don’t have to settle for being a victim.
Did someone actually call you a racist for using that term?
I wouldn't say use of the term, 'colored', is racist, but it's long been out of favor among blacks.
The term that really grates on me is, 'African-American'. The only people who can honestly claim that title, are naturalized Americans who were born in Africa.
In the 70s if you called or said anything about a “colored” person the black guy would say “Who are colored people?”
It’s difficult trying to keep up with all the “approved” terms. Seems strange that you never hear the term “Negro” anymore.
Tim is my Senator, and I watch what he is doing on GovTrack...he has not voted “wrong” yet. Comparing he and Graham really shows Graham’s true colors. Thankful Tim is my Senator.
I disagree with "deftly." The left uses false racism/sexism allegations frequently, loudly, crudely, and with contemptuous disregard for facts, but they are rarely deft about it. Who needs "deft" when conservatives' feeble response to such slander is to accept the left's premises, then try desperately to prove that they are not bigots?
Huh? Unless you're Rip Van Winkle, it doesn't seem strange at all that you never hear the term, 'negro', anymore. That word fell out of favor in the late 50s. About the only place you see it these days, is on birth certificates.
My personal preference is, 'black', but the world seems stuck on the stupid, 'African-American' label.
So my question IS where are the Republican Senators and Representatives at in defending Scott against the NAACP?
When are Republicans going to stand up and walk out of Congress to the steps- in unity and defend this honorable man?
I grew up in the South in the 60s and “Negro” was the accepted term. The true Southern ladies said “Nigra”.
Yeah, the term did linger on in some places into the 60s. I remember it well.
