The National Association for the Advancement for Colored People (NAACP) is accusing the Tea Party movement of being led by "hardcore white supremacists." The charge is made in an anti-Tea Party resolution to be voted on at the group's annual convention being held in Kansas City this week.
The Los Angeles Times reported on the incendiary race-baiting rhetoric being used by the NAACP to stoke racial tensions ahead of the November elections:
The NAACP is expected to approve a resolution at its annual convention condemning the "tea party" movement for harboring "racist elements that are a threat to our democracy," a spokeswoman for the civil rights organization said Monday.
The proposed resolution states that the "movement is not just about higher taxes and limited government but something that could evolve and become more dangerous," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell said. Delegates gathering in Kansas City, Mo., will consider the resolution as early as Tuesday.
...The proposed resolution asserts that "hardcore white supremacist organizations have participated in and occasionally lead tea party rallies." McDowell said the statement was based on academic research on the tea party movement and referred to a faction within the larger movement.
The Kansas City Star first reported on the proposed resolution last night.
Other parts of the resolution accuse the Tea Party movement of racism for criticizing Barack Obama and other politicans:
•Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”
•Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.
Two months ago, the NAACP verbally attacked Kenneth Gladney, a Black man assaulted by unions goons at a Tea Party protest in Missouri last year, as an "Uncle Tom."
Gateway Pundit reported on the racist NAACP comments:
Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissedote to on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.
The NAACP resolution being launched at the Tea Party comes just after the formation of the One Nation coalition of 170 leftist groups which includes the NAACP and other racist organizations like the National Council of La Raza.
The groups are banding together ahead of the November elections in an effort to thwart a perceived rout of the Democratic party and the leftist Obama agenda at the polls. With Blacks being the only major voter demographic holding strong for Obama with over ninety percent support, the left sees it as imperative to race-bait Blacks so they will turn out to vote in numbers like they did two years ago for Obama.
Otherwise, with support from the rest of the nation for Obama in the high 30s and many Black voters consigned to gerrymandered districts that favor Democrats, the left faces a historic defeat four months from now.
60 years of “infiltration & indoctrination” has taken it’s toll.
nah, more like 'webe raciss & sh!t'...
Absolutely. These race baiters don't want any real integration at all. As you suggest, their business model is fully dependent on constantly stoking and promoting racial tensions and divides. Without it they would have to find a way to earn a legitimate living!
That’s right, I forgot about Mr. Cain. I find it easy to dispel these “racist” charges to people that are ignorant of the facts. There are far too many conservative black patriots for them to ignore. Unfortunately, no one will see them highlighted in any significant way if they are only using the state-controlled media outlets for their “news.”
Herman is talking about it right now - he is totally taking NAACP to task for bashing the tea party, and is taking on the NBPP next!! http://streaming.wsbradio.com/_players/coxradio/index.php?callsign=WSBAM
Thanks, I just saw your link in another thread and just “tuned” in!
The big issues that could be blamed on racist whites have been solved - as they should have been - by law. Now groups like the NAACP are stuck with cleaning up their own cultural problems. That's not fun - and it can alienate inner city blacks. Going after the Tea Party will bring in a few coins - but no one takes these people and their eternal victimhood seriously - after all the President is black - aa are many top officials.
Well, I had foolishly thought the NAACP actually had some ideals and was better than their current shameless lying, race baiting, and incitement to hatred of white people, but it appears anything Leftism touches eventually turns to partisan s#!+, and the NAACP is clearly no exception.
