'Think logically and not racially': message from NAACP chapter president brings resignation calls
Daily Mail ^ | July 17, 2013 | David Martosko

The president of the NAACP's chapter in Norfolk, Virginia is under fire and facing calls for his resignation, following a message on his Facebook wall that's out of sync with the his national organization's messaging about the Trayvon Martin case.

Tristan Breaux angered his organization's members by writing on Friday that '[a]s I look at this George Zimmerman case ... I wonder why is it that we are always willing to say someone who clearly had a shaky past, was the victim.'

'Are we blinded about why Trayvon was at his dad's house in the first place, and why he wasn't at home at the time he was shot? Please think logically and not racially...'

Breaux, 25, wrote those words the day before a jury agreed with George Zimmerman's self-defense claim and found him not guilty of murder and manslaughter in the case of Martin's death.

Local African-American officials are calling for Breaux's head.

Norfolk City Councilman Paul Riddick told WAVY-TV10 that 'the national [NAACP] office should come into this. 'It would be an effort to silence this fellow. I don't know how recall process works, but I think they should recall him.'

'He obviously does not have the maturity when to speak and when not to speak.'

Former Norfolk NAACP president Bob Rawls was more measured in his comments to WAVY-TV10, but still suggested Breaux should be muzzled..

'I think this should be tried in the courtroom and not on social media,' said Rawls.

Either ostracized or back on the plantation for Tristan Breaux.

Truth and justice be damned.

‘Are we blinded about why Trayvon was at his dad’s house in the first place, and why he wasn’t at home at the time he was shot? Please think logically and not racially...’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uh-oh. Someone has wandered off the (NAACP) plantation. Whip him and beat him until he learns his role.

Duh!! It was tried in a courtroom idiot , Zimmerman was found not guilty.

What you racist black desire didn’t come to fruition, because he was innocent.

The NAACP is right though, this man does not belong as President of their organization.

He is not near racist enough to lead the NAACP bigots.

That was my favorite line to. To some of these black leaders it's like the actual trial doesn't count. It was a mulligan. The being "tried in a courtroom" suggests that he believes it's inevitable that there will be either a DOJ or civil trial, and the verdict will come out the way they want it.

Thinking like a Creepy Ass Cracka will not be tolerated on the plantation.

Not really...

"Breaux, 25, wrote those words the day before a jury agreed with George Zimmerman's self-defense claim and found him not guilty of murder and manslaughter in the case of Martin's death."

Not such a bad thing as he will quickly learn how vicious and racist these people are. Hopefully he will have enough sense to quickly get out and on the smart side of life. Leave the idiots alone.

Proof positive that the NAACP has lost all purpose other than to be a NPO giving contributions to the Democrats to ASSURE their own continue to pick cotton.

The answer: Yes, and blinded by race as well.
the question: “..’Are we blinded about why Trayvon was at his dad's house in the first place, and why he wasn't at home at the time he was shot?”
