The NAACP is blackballing black conservatives.
Specifically, two black conservatives: Deneen Borelli and the Reverend C. L. Bryant.
You missed this? Considering the state of the liberal media these days, one shouldn’t be surprised.
But there’s infinitely more to this story than this, although the rejection of Borelli and Bryant personifies the reason the NAACP has long since lost its hard-won credibility. Credibility that came from a long, distinctly honorable record of standing against the most vicious racism the American Left — yes the American Left — could dish out.
Now? Now the NAACP has basically decided: why beat them when you can join them?
This isn’t just appalling. It’s beyond shameful.
Let’s get to it.
In a few days, July 13-17 specifically, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People — the NAACP — will be gathering in Orlando, Florida, for its annual convention.
The welcome mat is not out for Ms. Borelli or Reverend Bryant.
Ads have been run on the Rush Limbaugh show featuring the Reverend Bryant, a distinguished civil rights leader who is a former president of the NAACP’s Garland, Texas chapter. (Here is Rev. Bryant’s website.) Bryant is urging his fellow Americans to contact the NAACP and ask them to let both Borelli and Bryant speak at the convention.

The NAACP wants to silence conservatives who believe the government should be limited to defending your liberty.
This is an outrage. Americans of all color should strive to achieve success without dependency on Big Government. The message of opportunity, hard work, and economic freedom should be a part of the NAACP. Prohibiting conservative speakers like Deneen Borelli and Reverend C.L. Bryant sends the wrong message.

The NAACP is a communist-socialist organization, so why does this come as a surprise to anyone?
They should wear the fact that they’re not invited like a badge of honor.
On what parallel universe does the NAACP ever have any semblance of credibility, hard-won or otherwise?
They should wear the fact that they’re not invited like a badge of honor.
Absolutely.
The head of the NAACP is a rabid Letfist. The org is rabid Leftist.
They should start their own version or join Niger Innis’ CORE.
I wasn’t impressed with that ad anyway. Whining isn’t strength.
Speech enforcement on the plantation, similar to the DNC...
