Seriously ... WHO's surprised by the fact that she's now being rewarded for having dutifully played her role out ... ? This was and is a con job on the American public - and, true to form, the sheeple have eaten it up. 'Social Justice' ... uh-huh. BS is more like it. There's no such thing as a 'former racist' ... it's more than an attitude - it's a way of life ... and she's proven that very nicely, thankyewberrymush.


Just as an 'aside" ... The NAACP is a racist organization. Oh - you say it's NOT ... ? Then riddle me this: How come it still uses 'Colored People' in its name? That term fell out of favor with BLACK people years ago. One more question: If they ARE about 'advancing' 'people of color', name a couple of members who are Asian, Native American, Eskimo (you might say 'Inuit'), Hispanic, or any other 'color'. You can't. There aren't. It's a RACIST organization - but you'll never hear that from the ones on here who constantly yell 'RAYciss!' when talking about whites. Lastly, the NAACP is ONLY for LIBERAL 'colored people'. Think not? Name me ONE Conservative member of that organization.

Case. Closed.




another case of ASSuming and posting without researching,, here is a name,,Annie Spell,,,,put it in your favorite search engine

she is a white woman and a CHAPTER PRESIDENT

I also have been to dinners and conventions with white members and hispanic members,,,,not that it matters to anyone consumed with throwing dirt,,,


One divergence (and a LIBERAL one, at that) doth not a case make ... Game over. Try again. You lose.


lol,, so the strategy is ask for a type of fact and than claim the fact is irrelevant ,,,if you get to judge which non black members 'count',, than I will pass on the request

try going to some meetings (isnt that what tea party advocates suggest?) ,, you may be extremely surprised,,,


You didn't supply a candidate who met the criteria ... specifically, CONSERVATIVE. The fact that this person (or any of the others you mentioned) are members of the NAACP says NOTHING about their political orientation being CONSERVATIVE in a Liberal Socialist / Communist organization that is dedicated to promoting the welfare of only ONE race. THAT's racist. When you answer the question rather than merely pointing out a 'token' who happens to be a member, then I can take your answer seriously. Until then, it's all smoke 'n mirrors to avoid answering - or answering without answering ... you know, just like 'The UN' does.



lmao,, ok, so now the criteria is relating to conservatism or liberalism as opposed to 'color'? Well, I will pass on that too as I have admitted several times in these posts to not quite understand what makes one a conservative and another a liberal,,,or why either is superior or inferior to the other

as to the original implication though, that the NAACP is only about advancing ONE Race and asking if I could

'name a couple of members who are Asian, Native American, Eskimo (you might say 'Inuit'), Hispanic, or any other 'color''

I admit I am only half way there,, here is another two names of naacp members who are not african american,,,
Kareem Josephs
Orane Laidlaw


both white


just put in your COLOR of preference in your favorite search engine along with NAACP member and you can find plenty more for yourself,,,and there is always my previous suggestion that you attend a meeting for yourself,,, Black folks will be in the majority(as whites are at tea parties), but in no way will you find it to be EXCLUSIVE,,,,

I was going to say something positive but it would be useless. Irrational people can not be reasoned with so why waste my time. Just as I have stopped watching FOX News I will stop reading posts like these. Some people are just sh*tting in their pants because soon the minorities will be the majority and they can't handle that. Scared what they did/do to others is now going to happen to them. Don't worry, we'll go easy on ya. We'll actually pay you for your hard labor and you'll only get whipped once a week. You'll have access to all the things we have access to because we don't want another civil rights movement on our hands or groups like the NAAWP popping up. Yeah...do you see how stupid that sounds???? Just as stupid as all this irrational behavior coming from the Republicans and TEA Party members. I have watched Shirley Sherrod's speech in it's ENTIRETY several times(not some a**holes edited version made specifically to incite hatred). I also found it extremely inspiring. Guess that makes me a racist too...well there you have it! You people are just looking for something to nitpick at in order to prove your ridiculous points and if Shirley Sherrod is the best you can do then that's just sad. I'm so over this crap!......hope this doesn't get me fired.

why does NAAWP sound stupid? i kind of like the idea. and where i live, white people are the minority. when i have to learn another language to get a job, thats where i have to draw the line. when i go to by something, and the people in the store don't speak english, it upsets me a little. my kids need a future too, and the NAAWP would be able to help. to me, it's not just a black/white thing anymore, we both have bigger problems.

This is where we differ. When I have a patient who doesn't speak English I don't resent them for it....I tell myself (you need to learn Spanish). I would love to be able to speak more than 1 language...I think it makes a more well rounded person. Plus I hate not being able to communicate with my patients. Should the people who come to this country adapt to our culture and learn our language? Yes...but we should also be willing to learn from them. We should pride ourselves on being a multicultural country rather than looking down upon anyone who doesn't look, speak, or act like us. We Americans can be so full of ourselves.

And yes the NAAWP sounds stupid...just as stupid as the notion of "white slavery" in America (a TEA party member held up a sign with that quote during a rally). Caucasian Americans already have equal access to everything in this country...soooo u want an organization to give you MORE equal access? That sounds stupid and unnecessary.

For those of you who can not understand organization like the NAACP, United Negro College Fund, and so forth, this is the best I can explain it. 60 years ago African Americans were not treated equally in this country. We could not drink out of the same water fountains as whites, we could not attend the same schools, we could not eat at the same restaurants or swim in the same pools. These organizations were created in order to help us fight for equality and to help give ourselves what "some" white people did not see fit for us to have. These organizations are still necessary because although racism and discrimination is not as blatant as it used to be, it still exist. Without these organization acting as watch dogs
things could easily go back to the way they used to be. If you can't understand that then I can't help you. No one can.

no, I would just be concerned that those 80 percent of americans that are so in need of 'advancement' might return back to the days when their advancement would cause the minority to go back to being ignored or treated as second class......but its a free country and we reap what we sow and all that,,,

well, i don't disagree with you on what you've said here, most of it makes sense... but helping white folks is wrong or stupid?
only minorities need help? you actually think that america would transgress to a pre 1960 attitude? maybe, but i don't think so. there are more white people that are not racist than there are that are racist. i believe in being pro-white, black, mexican, hindu, whatever, as long as your not being hateful to other people. wanting to help your race own is not being racist. but whenever we give anyone special rights and privileges, gays included, it hinders progress of stopping racism.

helping white people isnt stupid,,,not at all

it is happening all the time already,,,,just like the english helping the english isnt stupid,, but since they conquered Wales, Scotland and N Ireland, it would be kind of stupid for them to assert they need additional help in those countries where they are already the ones in control

imagine an National Association for the Advancement of the English in Scotland,,,lol,, dont think that would go over very well, and for good reason,,,,its just kind of a slap in the face,,,but thats my opinion,,,,

the fallacy here, is that NAACP only helps colored people,,, it is an organziation to promote and maintain EQUALITY amongst all people,,,,the causes that NAACP champions are things like workplace equality, healthcare for working class, and other things that assist citizens of ALL shades. Now if there was an NAAWP that championed causes that were going to benefit all races as well,, Id be all for it but when it is suggested, it is usually implied by those who assume the organization would be just to aid one race,,,,which would be kind of like giving steroids to Arnold Schwarzenegger when one is already in the race that holds the majority of political and financial power.

i guess its the same thing, it's in our history. any white group in the past has had issues with racism, a lot of it extreme. so i can't really whine about why there's not one, with the white azzholes in the past doing the things they did. they had a history of extreme violence, while most of the black organizations do not have such a history. but like i said, being pro white is not the same as being anti black.

I don't think race makes much difference to people when voting, same could be said for a person's gender. What most people vote for is someone who they feel is intelligent. Someone who is well educated and speaks eloquently has a much easier time getting elected. At least when that option is available.


Which makes me wonder how Bush got elected at all, but I guess that shows the power of money.

Well, I've got to admit, that while I know Gore is actually smart, he doesn't come off that way when speaking. Kerry, he was just a joke. I think the Dems only have themselves to blame. Personally I didn't vote for either of the three.

I think if the media would stop forcing Dems and Reps on us and actually allow all candidates equal time (i.e. Green Party, Libertarians, Commies, Socialists) we'd actually end up with some better people. You go in and vote and you usually find there are about a dozen people running for President, and about five running for the senate or house. However, you only have information about two of the candidates. The news agencies are partially to blame for selling the false idea that a "third party" candidate cannot win.
