I think that Ms. Manning should look on the bright-side. Romney isn’t going to La Raza at all, clearly indicating that he favors Blacks.

Entitlement breeds lethargy.

Who ever knew that the new massah would wear a red white and blue suit, and have a white beard.

Just once, I wish Mitt would rent a pair and preface his speech to the NAACP thusly: “In 2008 98% of you voted for Obama. Since the same percentage is expected to cast similar ballots in 2012, my remarks will be directed to the 2% of the African-American community that is willing to base their vote on something other than race.”

Could you imagine the reaction if Romney had prefaced a comment with, “I realize Black people can barely find a way to get back and forth to work...”

“I believe his vested interests are in white Americans,”

This from a woman who's chairwoman of Women in NAACP? NAACP? National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Not that her organization has anything to do with favoring 'colored people' or anything.../s

Because their culture does not rely on the perpetual white guilt/victimology trip.

entrepreneurship and saving accounts is talk for white folks?

NAACP got to talk about free public transit to get black people to jobs at businesses ... run by white people?

That is not even remotely Romneysque.

You must be confused with another lady.

Careful, yesterday I wrote about Super Rich Whitey telling black folks Obama made their lives worse was a waste of time.

And some one said it was a ‘divisive comment’.

“While we are glad that Governor Romney recognized the power of the black electorate, he laid out an agenda that was antithetical to many of our interests,” said NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous.

Yep, like cutting wasteful programs that keep black's dependent on the government, and eliminating Obamacare, which is Obama's "social justice" in which poverty laden blacks get free health care while the rest of us who actually WORK pay for their free perks.

Yep, Romney said their free ride was coming to an end, and they didn't like it.

Let me just say that I’m disgusted once again. The mere fact that he showed up and spoke the truth (no matter the audience) gives him more credibility not less. I think he was brave to go in front of that bunch of racists. Hell even the name is racist.

black people can barely find a way to get back and forth from work,” Manning said.

I suppose that's the white man's fault! It's their own stupid fault because they remain on the liberal plantation.

How is it that Asians, who don’t even speak English, can come to this country and start successful businesses?

At least what little English they can speak isn't the black ghetto rap crap! Oh, and the Asians don't come here looking for a handout neither.

They dig in, get the best education they can, maintain unbreakable family ties, and work their butts off

The Asians are new immigrants, who have gotten, and who put high value on education in the first place...except they don't speak English. They come equipped with an incredible work ethic, plus a recognition that they can cash in on the American dream.

This is all learned behavior, usually coming out from under repressive authoritarian conditions, fraught with poverty and with a burning desire to make a better life for themselves.

I've come to know several of these families here in Maine, who opened restaurants.

Regarding the so-called "African-Americans" who have never been anywhere near Africa:

This is also learned behavior, born into freedom, but immediately lied to by the race-baiters about "White America"...how they are owed reparations, getting an education is "acting white".

They are trapped in worthless inner city schools filled with incompetent Affirmative Action "teachers"....the RATs have subsidized the destruction of this American demographic, simply to harvest their vote and to justify the existence of huge welfare bureaucracies. It is a widespread stereotype to find these folks with a very smug, racist, self-important attitudes...a chip on their shoulder. Crime statistics show them with high incarceration rates for gang activity, drug activity and violent crime.

By the way, REAL Africans...African immigrants, seem to do just fine, and they are generally very pleasant folks.

It was like speaking before the Black KKK.

The Klan with a tan.

Never said it was always true, I was specifically responding to “Orientals” seeming to more often be successful.

I even addressed how those who do NOT come with money still succeed.

I have known many “Oriental” families, what I related IS how they got wealthy.

Some of the middle-eastern immigrants do the same thing.
Which is why they can so often take over entire shopping centers, hotels, etc.

True, but of those who did, few really took advantage of the opportunity.

How many today can trace their families current prosperity back to that day?
Very few, if any.

Thank you for your post. Great information even though it can be considered anecdotal.
