Confederate flag at capitol under fire after shootings [NAACP bereft of ideas]

The Charleston church shootings have thrown the spotlight back onto the Confederate battle flag on South Carolina’s State House grounds in Columbia.....

....NAACP renews call for flag to come down

The head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is calling the slaying of nine people inside a black church an act of “racial terrorism” and said the Confederate flag flying on the South Carolina capitol grounds needs to come down.

Really, really, really shows how pathetic the NAACP has become. Empty rhetoric that resonates with NO ONE except themselves.

The church of Jesus Christ was on full display when the victim's families expressed forgiveness to the murderer....what did the so-called "civil rights leadership" do?

It began moaning-LOUDLY--with the support of the media about a FLAG.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

I despise the NAACP.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

If anyone wants to use an institution as a reference for racism, the NAACP fits the bill perfectly...

That idiot does realize, I assume, that slavery existed under the Confederacy for only four years, but it existed under the United States’ Stars and Stripes for almost ninety years.

Dylann Roof did not kill the nine Christians because a Confederate flag flies at the state capitol.

Dylann Roof did not kill the nine Christians because SC gun laws are too lax.

Dylann Roof did not kill the nine Christians because white people haven’t “dialogued” about race enough.

Dylann Roof did not kill the nine Christians because the Tea Party has somehow taken over talk radio and turned it against the perceived-disadvantaged of society.

Dylann Roof killed the nine Christians because he gave in to the temptations of evil—perhaps softened to the temptations by drugs, perhaps by parental abuse, those are questions for investigators to answer—but in any case, it is because of his own evil, and nothing else.

Every other hypothesis is laughable Barbra Streisand, and should be loudly called out for what it is.

I guess they know nothing about the confederate flag never flying on a slave ship, it was the stars and stripes. I guess they know nothing about what the Confederate flag was made and how it had to distinguish two sides on the battle field. I guess they know nothing about which flag flew when Indians, were raped, robbed, killed and butchered, and yes they must not know the blacks under the stars and stripes were doing that.

The NAACP has had a problem for decades abut the flag flying there and now are using this to leverage pressure.

The NAACP are nothing but money grabbing , work, shy, lying racists who do the Dem party’s work.

I’m sure Michelle will scoff at the NAACP nonsense and opine: “All this for a damn flag?”.

Right, Mrs. 0bama?

Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

Picking the church was convenient and accessible. No racism was involved.

Exactly right. Good post. Hopefully some with the ink or microphone or camera will take that and run with it.

They wanted the flag which they know nothing about removed, they made a deal to have it removed but it could stay on state grounds. They know what that deal to go away and want the flag totally removed, and now are using this while the bodies are not yet cold to further their politics.
Shame on them.

Maybe they should invest some time into doing research about the flag and they might find some facts interesting like the Confederate flag never flying over a Govt, not the official Confederacy flag, never flew on any slave ship.

Hell why are we still talking about frigging slavery it’s been over a 150 years now, . When are they going to get their act together and move on? Every country has seen injustice, every race too , but these idiots want to remain victims with the support of the white guilt dopes out there.

[manc]

Thank you I will be looking for that book and researching the guy.

Thank you for your post.

Sadly, I know next to nothing about BT Washington. But I will be purchasing your recommended book. And at the appropriate time I’ll be informing others as well.

Dylann Roof killed nine people because he hated blacks.

The Confederate flag could have been removed and he still would have hated blacks.

Additional laws could have been added to the books and he still would have hated blacks.

Racial dialogue could have disappeared and he still would have hated blacks.

He is who he is. He was driven by his own hatred and his own demons and nothing else. Blaming the flag or the AME church or politicians on both sides trying to make political hay off this isn't going to change that.

The NAACP is but a depository of stolen tax payer funds shunted to black apparatchiks that commit voter fraud

Exception: we know that at least one was orange rather than black

the unanswered question...... were his daemons created by diagnosing him as ADD and feeding him drugs?
