No Regrets: NAACP President Stands By "Revolution" Remark
WHNT ^

"Those who make peaceful revolutions impossible make violent revolution inevitable," said Sams on Monday. The phrase was a direct quotation from former president John F. Kennedy, who made the original statement while talking about civil unrest in Central America back in 1962. Twenty-four hours later she kept the same tone.

"No, I do not regret saying it, because I did not say we were going to use violent revolution," said Sams. "I don't feel like it's irresponsible. I think you can take a quote and twist it around anyway you want to. But we are not going to keep having business as usual in the Huntsville City School system. That's what a lot of of the people who responded to you (WHNT) expected us to say. They just want us to sit down and let them take over and run the system like it's been run, and we are saying no, that's not gonna happen."

Where’s the outrage from the embittered President of this racist organization and the other chapters? Where’s the MSM? Where’s Obama’s condemnations?

The Gov. of Maine should’ve stuck with his original plan and boycotted these racist bastards.
