Kansas City Star - Prime Buzz ^ | 9/5/07 | DeAnne Smith

The national chairman of the NAACP said Wednesday that Mayor Mark Funkhouser should accept the resignation of a controversial parks board appointee.

Julian Bond said Frances Semler’s membership in a group that has been part of armed patrols of the U.S. borders is crippling Kansas City’s image nationally. He confirmed the organization is reconsidering holding its 2010 convention in Kansas City.

“If I were the city of Kansas City, I would want to remove this blot as quickly as I could,” Bond said in an interview with The Kansas City Star.

Let the NAACP and La Raza pull their conventions and invite the Minutemen and the NRA to replace them.

Cant understand why NAACP would hook up w La Raza (The Race).

When La Raza says “The Race”, that doesnt mean they like blacks.

Hint to Julian Bond: Mestizo/Indians have strong feelings against blacks...kinda like those who wear those white hoods

“Cant understand why NAACP would hook up w La Raza (The Race).”

.....hmmm....good point. I wonder if the NAACP is trying to broaden it’s base because it grows more and more irrelevant each year....since it’s all about hating Whitey anyway the more non whites, the better.

Does anyone care that these racist organizations don’t bring their conventions to town?

“Blot”!?!?!? Julian has a lot of nerve. That is ridiculous. Frances Semler and Mark Funkhouser have taken the correct stance against the power of the mob by refusing to cower and concede to threats and rudeness for standing up for the lawabiding thing to do. This is a country of laws not men and the people who want to enter it need to develop respect for the law or they just don’t understand the operation of our great democracy and how it got great. What matters is not who you are, but that we are all the same under the the law.

Racist rants and vicious threats “calling a 73 yr old woman a blot” is one step too far for these people.
