The notion that the ACC would not be in SC because of concern for blacks is particularly insane. Here is an organization that is helping to promote the idea that a blacks best way out of the ghetto is through sports. It is elevating their physical strengths over intellectual strengths. It promotes a lottery mentality amongst blacks. Sure they sugar coat it and try to disguise the reality, but that is only window dressing.

Well-said.

The NAACP should be focused on one thing, and one thing only: improving the lives of black people. With this in mind, their points of focus should be promoting two-parent families, discouraging illegitimacy, and education. Each minute it spends on a non-issue like the South Carolina flag is a missed opportunity.

Unfortunately the public is being educated by the very people who come up with this pc crap and they've been at it for at least four decades. How can you educate people who were taught to "feel" rather than think? Not possible until and unless they see behind the facade' of these totalitarian wackos.
I suggest we get our Spiritual houses in order folks.

Actually, the NAACP like most organizations is only in existance today to control people for the benefit of its corrupt leaders. Like the government, the NAACP will never go away so long as average blacks live a life different than average whites. So if the problem is solved they disappear. Addtionally, by placing blame on others they make their lives that much easier. It is hard to convince blacks that the problems they face lie within their own community. By placing blame outside themselves they can feel better, and never solve problems. If you can say "well we'd be equal except for that darn flag," and people buy it you have done one helluva job fooling them. And you never have to tick off your followers by saying they need to clean up their act.

Marion Barry expressed it best when he said "I've had a lot of bad decisions happen to me lately." He acted as if he has no freewill. It is a sad way to live, as you are always at the mercy of an unknown force.

Hmmm, I wonder why I never see my hometown mentioned except when there's bad news to report. Poor little ol' Fort Mill.

One more reason not to watch College or Pro-Basketball. They want to boycott the states, hell I can boycott Basketball.

I find them offensive, can we ban them? Blackbird.

Got it. I lost interest in the ACC when they ran off Jimmy V. But if they disqualify SC for the Bars and Stars, surely they must disqualify NC for merely electing the fine Senator Helms.
