NAACP passes resolution blasting Tea Party 'racism'

The NAACP has passed a resolution that condemns what it feels is rampant racism in the Tea Party movement. Members passed the measure on Tuesday at the organization's 101st annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri.

Tea Party activists have swiftly denounced the action as unfounded and unfair.

The only thing this "resolution" is for is so that every time a libtard writes a column about the Tea Party they get to also throw in "The Tea Party movement, which has been condemned as racist the NAACP, America's oldest civil rights group...<Insert lies here>

Why do the pot and kettle have to be "black???" Can't they just be a pot and kettle??? </sarcasm>

I hope someone cam answer this, what difference does this racist group make?

[nhwingut]

This is rich coming from a group called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People!

That's racist right there.

NAACP is just another front group for the left wing of the Democrat party. NAACP, in supporting the unrestricted abortion license, endorses virtual genocide against their own people —half of black babies conceived are now killed in abortion. In areas where NAACP influence/democrat control is strongest—Washington DC, Detroit, Obama’s South Side of Chicago—the kill rates are highest.
NAACP pretends to favor improved education for black children. But, like the political party it fronts for, it is a creature of the teachers’ unions. It opposes vouchers, a program favored overwhelmingly by poor black parents whose kids are trapped in failing government schools. Like the Obamas and Jesse Jackson, NAACP senior execs send their own kids to the private schools they feel are too good for poor black children.
I don't know why anyone takes these people seriously anymore. The organization's existence is based on racial grievance. If racism is not present, they will fabricate it.

Any legal eagles here? Would it be possible to bring a class action suit against the NAACP, and have every person that is "offended" by this resolution sign on? I feel so offended myself that only 10 or 20 million could start the healing process for me. (sniffle)

“The NAACP is a racist organization”

You are correct. The point of passing this resolution is to ensure that all blacks know what the correct opinion must be if you are black. The pressure to conform is very strong in the black community and this sends the message that no black can openly support the Tea Party movement else incur social ostracism. This is how it works — I have watched it up close.

This shuts off future growth in Tea Party, and the associated issues regarding tax relief, support among blacks.

May I use that line?

“A White person will NEVER be right in their eyes”

Sure they will. Who do you think dangles their puppetstrings?

[MestaMachine]

Sure. NONE!

Who founded them matters little and I really cannot stand Michael Medved. I used to listen to him when I was first getting interested in talk radio but he turns on conservatives as much or more than he does liberals.

[wardaddy]

what to expect from an organization founded by socialists

[meyer]

It’s amazing how the most racist organization in the country, the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED people, has the nerve to call others “racist”. It’s even more amazing that they continue to get press coverage.

[70th Division]

Sure It was posted on here a couple of days about the NBPP. I just adapted it. LOL

[Shelayne]

I don’t know if Michael Medved talked about that, but Rush did yesterday. I thought that was pretty interesting.

[chipper dave]

Yep, and we need to grind that lack of logic back at them.

That’s not a very good photo of Angela for her book cover. She’s much more spectacular than that on TV.
