The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), also known as the Black Press of America, which is a non-partisan 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has decided to show its disapproval of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" remarks by canceling a convention in the state.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J.

Anything against Obama is racist, just like why a black gets a job with inferior grades or experience over a white (AA) is perfectly legal.

Facts are not the primary driver, white guilt is.

Didn't the NAACP boycott of SC create a tourism boom there?

More low IQ thugs on parade.

LOL - NOW they want respect showed to the President of the United States. Where were they over the past 8 years of Bush Lied - People Died / ChimpieMcBushHitler / “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”. This selective outrage falls flat, especially considering that Obama DID lie and one brave soul had the ‘nads to call him on it.

So, all twelve or so people (using the media’s estimation calculation of 30,000 that showed up in DC Saturday) that belong to this org. will not hold their convention at the local Motel 6 conference room ....

When GWB was booed by Democrat Congressmen, some of whom were black, were they racists? Just wondering.

The biggest racists in America today are black.

Just a few examples in the past week:

I find that when someone plays the race card that they only have one other card in their deck. THE JOKER. And are devoid of facts.

So which black ghetto will they be holding their conference at?

Or are they moving to another nice touristy spot to gather at?

Black Press of America

So Joe Wilson's "You Lie" comment was racist, but having an organization for black press only isn't racist. Got it.

I hope those black racists do not try to come to Fl. We do not like racists.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected,"

This could be called irony, but I call it hypocrisy.

Well, FWIW I will be going back to N. Myrtle Beach next summer. The businesses in Barefoot Landing and the condo owners will be glad to earn their money from me. I’ll probably spend more than these cheapskates who are doing their “boycott” anyway. Piss on them.

The same First Amendment that these ‘journalists’ enjoy apparently does not protect Joe Wilson shouting “Liar!” in a crowded theatre.

Blatant Reverse Racism by a racist organization???

It is not racist to disagree with a black person.

But taking “black money” out of the equation does make the racism of disagreement the topic.
