The NAACP in Lee County, Florida wants to picket the county over a portrait of General Robert E. Lee that hangs in the commission chambers because they deem displaying Lee's image to be racist. "It's a symbol of racism and division," Lee County NAACP President James Muwakkil said. According to Fox 4, "Muwakkil sent a letter to Lee County commissioners in early July, asking them to take down the portrait, but they voted to keep it up." On Sunday, Muwakkil fired off an email saying, "General Lee did not believe blacks should hold any positions in government." Muwakkil is reportedly "brainstorming with the state NAACP President ways to move forward, which could include a sit-in at the chambers, picketing and protesting." The state NAACP is supporting Muwakkil's efforts.

He didn't really have a problem with it. But regardless, that doesn't make this complaint by the local NAACP any less ridiculous.
“It’s a symbol of racism and division,”
No. It’s not. These folks are woefully ignorant. They are the poster children for arrogant ignorance.
They probably think Henry Ford invented the automobile.
Not bad, but needs to be redone with sharptoon, jaksohn, and big rahshellie drawn in there. In cursive print throughout.
The NAALCP, a black racist organization, calling someone else racist....black pot meet black kettle.
When the rest of the population tells them to go #@%&$# themselves.
The left-wing race hustlers are terrorists, pure and simple. Morally indistinguishable from muslim jihadists. There is no meaningful difference at all.
After they turn the US into Zimbabwe, then again that might not be enough.
Any picture of Sharpton or Jackson to me is deemed racist.
! Bloody nice graphic, mate! Stealing it for later... *smile*
Why is someone who rides horses in a horse race is called a jockey but someone driving a race car can’t be called a “Racist” .... or for that matter anyone watching a race and loves to watch racing can’t be called a “Racist” .....

I think Obama’s portait is racist. Take it down. It offends me.
Lots of wisdom from that era has proved to be true....including the destruction of the 10th Amendment.
The NAACP is a cesspool of ignorance.
Robert Lee emancipated all of his father in law’s slaves after his father in law’s death..
His family kept an illegal school for slaves on their Virginia plantation (it was illegal to educate slaves in Virginia).
After the war, he was in charge of enforcing slave emancipation in Virginia.
And we all know that the only reason Lee fought with the South was because of his allegiance to Virginia, not because of any affinity for slavery.
The only people that pay attention to the NAACP anymore are black racists and white liberals.
If Black People can have an organization like this why can’t white people? Think about it. The KKK is something we totally denounce as they are about hate and are on the same level as The Black Panthers but the black panthers are praised by the NAACP..Get a life you racist old black farts..
The views of the NCAAP has are held by many “conservatives” on FR.
I did appreciate the NAACP’s timely comments on the white kid getting beaten by the three black thugs on the school bus . . . uh never mind!
