...Of course, conservatives won't like this, but the bottom line is, the GOP, they're scared of black folks. I mean, it's as if they can't even talk to them."

Bring on the Fairness Doctorine.
We should have 'equal time' to rebut such comments.

Am I alone in thinking that one should be very careful what one wishes for, for their wish may come true?

They are not “scared of black folks”. They just see that it is a waste of time to pander to a group that is so narrow minded in their own political views. They refuse to be shaken down and hustled by the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons and Julian Bonds of the world.

He is a token house slave doing the bidding for his liberal master, the NAACP is a joke now, run by Democrats for Democrats, so any Republican would be wise to skip out on this grave yard of old socialists and burned out 60’s radicals.

They’re scared black folks will vote for stupid Democrats, which seems to be the pattern.

Showing up at a hostile venue like the NAACP is a no-win situation for a Republican. It’s not like a Republican can expect any significant number of NAACP members to vote for him

You hit that nail on the head. It would be like going to a moveon.org crowd, why bother.

Why has the NAACP been such a failure at promoting self-responsibility and family-responsibility in the African American community in the four decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act?

Why has the NAACP been such a failure at promoting African-American small businesses in the four decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act? (Not talking about getting government doles for small businesses, but promoting and assisting this activity in the African American community.)

Why, in the four decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, are there so few African-American owned convenience stores in the African-American communities? Doesn’t the NAACP have a role in that tragic failure?

Why, in the four decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, has the ownership of motels nationwide been heavily taken over by people from India? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but African-Americans were already here. Why didn’t they, with the help of the NAACP, come up with the idea of establishing themselves in a specific business sector, the way the Indians, and other ethnic groups (all relative new-comers compared to African-Americans) have done? What is the NAACP’s role and responsibility in this massive, catastrophic failure.

Why has the NAACP failed, in the last four decades, to promote good use of the English language among children in African-American communities? Why does it allow them to grow up sounding (in many cases, I’m sorry, it’s true) like a community of ignorant savages? What is the role/responsibility of the NAACP in this massive, catastrophic failure of assimilation into the richest country on earth?

The answer, in my opinion, is that the NAACP, like the Democratic Party, does not WANT a free, prosperous and assimilated African-American population. If such a population existed, who would need the NAACP?

No, the NAACP, like the Democratic Party, wants to keep African-Americans on the Poverty Plantation, where they will always have a need for the NAACP.

>>Martin’s response was blunt: “Of course, conservatives won’t like this, but the bottom line is, the GOP, they’re scared of black folks. I mean, it’s as if they can’t even talk to them.”<<

Yup, I shake in my boots everytime I talk to my sister, my nieces and great-nieces and nephews. Those baby black folk are the scariest.

The only black folk I’m scared of are the Nigerian ones you smackedown. How’s that going?

Perhaps the GOP recognizes the futility of attempting to separate Blacks from the Democratic Plantation.

Hey Roland, my wife might take issue with that. She talks to me so much that...never mind, she reads my posts...

Bring on the Fairness Doctorine. We should have 'equal time' to rebut such comments.

The problem is that they won't give the 'equal time' to 'us', they'll bring on some liberal RINO who would ultimately agree more than they disagreed.

Republicans don’t seek votes at the Communist convention either.

You are right. But that difference is emphasized and institutionalized by the NAACP and other “black leaders” who benefit directly by their people being downtrodden and who feel personally threatened by the mere hint of an existence of a free, prosperous and independent African-American middle class.

The NAACP and other “black leaders” are criminals. The only criminals in history to be revered by their victims.
