Pop culture asks, “What would Jesus do?” Regarding today's NAACP, I ask, “What would MLK do?” With catastrophic school dropout rates among blacks, the NAACP has chosen to defend black youths wearing their pants low with their underwear showing. The racist and America hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright will be the keynote speaker for the 2008 NAACP Detroit branch's 53rd annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner. The NAACP supports gay marriage.
Despite the fact that Black women are three times more likely than white women to have an abortion and 1452 black children are aborted every day, the NAACP supports abortion.
This once great organization has truly lost its way. It panders to the lowest while showing disdain for those who strive for self reliance and excellence. If he were alive today, Dr King would not be proud.
I am president of a new organization the NAACPC, National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color. All races are warmly and enthusiastically encouraged to join us. Dr King would be proud.

Very good!
A BTT for the evening crowd.
I’d rather ask “What would Booker T. Washington do ?” I believe had King lived past 1968, he would’ve continued to lead the Black community astray to government-based ultraleft solutions that have done far worse to them than the wildest dreams of some backwoods Klansman.
Ahh! The history that has become. Clayton Bigsby.
Going by MLK’s words in his “I have a dream” speech, he would probably have some harsh words for the African community.
Of course, he would also probably make an annoyance of himself by whining against the War on Terror.
“Of course, he would also probably make an annoyance of himself by whining against the War on Terror.”
Hey, any respecter of the US constitution should be “whining” against some aspects of the “War on Terror.”
I don’t think he would be whining about it in regards to the Constitution. He would be whining about it for the same reason he whined about the Vietnam war; wastes money for the poor, takes attention away from the plights of Africans (he would probably prefer we use our military in Darfur), etc.
And I can guarantee you none of the RATs whining against it care much about its effects on the Constitution.
How do I join? Do we Whites get three fifths of a vote or are we full members?
Outstanding.
Conservative white sister here supports you 100%!
I remember leaving the movie theater after seeing “Malcom X” and thinking something was all wrong. It was as if MLK’s dream had been hijacked.
But hope was restored when Obama came on the scene. A part of me wanted him to be elected; he was proof that we had reached the promised land. (I knew he was liberal, but figured it was a Democrat’s turn this year anyway.)
And then it all came crashing down. Terrorists, a deranged pastor, a bitter wife. Fourth trimester abortion.
And now here you are, a foot soldier and leader in the revolution. I salute you! And please do keep us posted.
I don’t think you’re on the mark... more likely, he would have befriended Bill Cosby (and supported his remarks), and would have kicked the holy bejeebus outta Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.... he wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t supporting victimization and race pimping.. he wanted everyone judged on their characters... regardless of the color of their skin..
I wish I was wrong, but I’m afraid I’m not. I think the canonization of King has been unfortunate and wrong-headed.
He was struggling to remain relevant in the public eye by 1968. He was already beginning to slip off the radar screen because some didn’t consider him sufficiently militant — but he was moving in that direction, especially his getting involved in the Memphis strike. My father was present when he gave a speech out at Berkeley and the college crowd was literally bored hearing him “drone on” (in their estimation) about civil rights. He desperately was looking for something to get them “agitated” and stumbled across the subject of “Vietnam”, which got the predictable reaction from the spoiled White liberal brats.
I do stand on what I said. If he had survived ‘68, he would’ve become a public caricature and embarrassment like Je$$e Jack$on of Sharpton in the ‘70s and ‘80s, agitating just to keep themselves in the public eye, shaking down parties and corporations and the like. But he desired martyr status to appease his gigantic ego. He got his wish. Personally, it was rather selfish of him. He deprived his wife of a husband and his children of a father. A martyr makes a very poor father.
i wasn’t wishing to canonize anyone.. i just believe that there were and are black role models out there, better things than sharpton and jackson..
OMG! Well said!
brother if you think that’s appalling, try living in a state where Cesar Chavez IS canonized... where government offices (the ones that aren’t named after him) are closed down on his birthday... considering all the damage that C.C. has done, it’s so lovely to hear him spoken of in the same breath as Mother Theresa....NOT!
Booker T. Washington remains probably my favorite Civil Rights hero of the 19th century. The fact that he had the incredible foresight to write about the race and poverty pimps and exploiters so long ago (now with them being so in vogue today and a horrific cancer on the Black community) is nothing short of remarkable.
grow up.
It won’t happen. The American people have lost it, and GWB laid out the whole scenario from his perceived inactivity.
I think MLK today would be a part of the regular civil rights community, undistinguished from the others and a big cheerleader for Oprah’s Obama too.
