What does a Klansman – like Robert Byrd – have to do to win the approval of the NAACP?

What would a Klansman have to do to gain the good favor of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)? Since its inception, the KKK has killed thousands, assaulted and maimed exponentially more, rigged elections and terrorized voters and politicians alike. “Sorry” probably wouldn’t cut it. Spending like a drunken sailor, however, might just do the trick.

At least, that’s all it took for the NAACP to abandon its race-baiting long enough to forgive former KKK leader Robert Byrd for the transgressions of his mid-20s.

I was bewildered by this comment:

“went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.”

Hmmmmm, guess history needed a rewrite.

Why would anyone want to be disgraced by being approved by the NAACP?

Ditto and throwing out the race card here and then to keep the NAACP appeased.

The ironic thing is that these same NAACP types will call a black person who doesn't follow their agenda "sellouts", as if someone or some entity is giving that person money to espouse freedom, liberty, and individualism.

All along, it's the NAACP that are the true sellouts.

"former KKK leader Robert Byrd"

It is my understanding that Byrd was the Grand Wizard.
In the KKK that is a very high rank. According the the master chicken choker he was just trying to get elected.

As with every organization which begins with principled purpose - the NAACP has been co-opted by vultures & opportunists since its 1909 inception.

The same result can be seen with unions and cultist religions...power corrupts.
