Apparently the NAACP practices the very thing it protests against. Can you imagine what the outcry would be if we said the same thing? These people should be ashamed of themselves, but they are all liberal Dems, so they don't even see the hypocrisy, and nor will the clueless Sun point it out.
NAACP fears appointment of white or Republican mayor if Dixon is convicted
Leaders of the Maryland NAACP, worried that a Baltimore mayor's criminal conviction could result in the appointment of a white or Republican leader who may not fully represent the majority black and Democratic city, are asking state lawmakers to strip the governor of authority to permanently fill the office.The request, made in a resolution adopted at a state meeting of the civil rights group last weekend, marks the first time a mainstream organization has raised questions about succession should Baltimore Mayor Dixon be convicted of any of the nine charges she faces. Dixon has been indicted for theft and perjury and the first of two trials is scheduled for early next month.
"There is that possibility of a conviction, and we want to know those protocols that are in place," said Elbridge James, the political action chairman of the state National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "If it looks like it is going to rain, I am going to buy an umbrella."

This Aint America NO Mo
One day, there will be a war...the black Mayor committed felonies and they want to make sure her replacement is....black? Liberalism is a sickness, wait until we stop paying for their useless Social programs to breed more morons.
Permanently fill the office or until an election can be scheduled? Wonder what the few remaining white voters in Baltimore city think? Maybe whites should organize a boycott of the city? It's pretty much a basket case anyway...
Hey, we have quotas, you know? I’m sure Detroit could contribute some qualified candidates to “administer” Baltimore’s city government....

She's obviously being persecuted by The Man!

She can get into any Ivy League school with a C average, get financial aid and grants I cannot qualify for and when she graduates, be put on the “first to hire” list, irrespective of achievement and then be virtually impossible to fire, once hired, as she falls into a “protected” class and would have EEOC, NAACP and other groups suing on her behalf.
The same “discrimination” they so vehemently dispise is exactly what they are doing, but it’s not PC to bring up this fact.
It’s a joke, Dixon is a joke, Baltimore is a cesspool/joke.
