RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- About 140 people have been arrested during the latest weekly demonstration led by the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP against the state's Republican-led General Assembly.

Police estimate that roughly 1,000 people attended a rally late Monday afternoon behind the Legislative Building. Hundreds later entered the building, with those intending to get arrested wearing green wrist bands.

NAACP protesting Welfare cuts? How is this advancement?

[NonValueAdded]

Did the DHS Police roll for this protest or do they only show up at the non-violent (Tea Party) ones?

[txnativegop]

How symbolic! It is also utterly meaningless.

[Maceman]

And to think that the NAACP was started by (black and white) REPUBLICANS. In fact, the first president of the NAACP was a WHITE Republican.

People sure will get their lazy ass off the couch when it comes to losing their free stuff...can’t get them off the couch to go to work though.

Get a job you lazy bastards..To H with the NAACP..go back to your home land and start your own country see if they let you lay on your butts there..

And that will happen with the Boy Scouts, infiltrated and taken over by liberals then ruined.

If they did less marching and more working they will have a better life! That’s my opinion!

“demonstrations to protest cuts to social programs”

How DARE the Republicans cut welfare/foodstamps, social security and Medicaid. Other people worked hard for that money!

to protest cuts to social programs,

parasites can't survive without mooching off of producers.

[circlecity]

Imagine what the rioting is gonna look like once the government can no longer afford to support these moochers cradle to grave.

Man, you said it.

They are helping the community organizer by causing a distraction from his scandals. I think they are also there to intimidate. Conservatives are so angry, NOTHING will distract them and there stories are of interest to every person who has to “answer” to the IRS.

More like “National Association for the Advancement of Communist Precepts”, given what they are “protesting” over.

Alinsky’s rule #3: “Change is brought about through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.”

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, that works.

In the past I believe the NAACP did some good work. Today I think it’s an organization that basically lies to his constituents and fails to teach self-support and determination to succeed.

“If you’re not making it, then someone else is to blame”, seems to be the message today.

...And the NRA was started so that black Americans could exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.......
