NAACP wants Confederate flag removed from AL troopers' cruisers

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - It's not hard to find a Confederate flag flying in Alabama, but it may surprise you some of the places you'll find it.

The next time you see an Alabama State Trooper, take a close look at their cruisers and a patch they wear on their uniform.

You can find a Confederate flag on every trooper vehicle. You'll also find the flag on a patch that every uniformed Trooper wears.

The Huntsville chapter of the NAACP says it time for it to go, and they plan on taking their fight to Montgomery.

An NAACP spokesperson said now is the perfect time to spark this movement.

"The time is right, and I just think it needs to be," said the Reverend Robert L. Shanklin. "We need to do a clean sweep. The state and local government, anywhere that that's located."

Troopers said they are aware of the controversy, but there's nothing they can do. They explained that any changes to the emblem will have to happen at the state level.

What we’re seeing here is the boldness, brashness, and unrestrained exercise of power that you’re seeing out of these criminal, thuggish organizations. Sure the NAACP, Black Panthers, Far left media, and pro fag antagonists have existed for decades...but they have recently been so emboldened in the past years that it’s now an unyielding charge on ANYTHING and everything that may offend.

Look at the attacks on the Redskins, look at them now trying to shove transsexuals into the military. I mean stuff that would have never gotten traction even 8 years ago is now somehow happening.

Fly the Confederate flag and fly it proudly. Alongside the current flag, the Betsy Ross flag. Fly them all, they’re all American flags and all a part of our history.

They don’t care about that, all they care about is getting as many freebies for themselves as possible and tearing down as much of traditional white society as they possibly can. If they trample on their own kind in doing so...so be it.

National Association for the Abortion of Colored People. They support Obama, the most radical pro-baby murder lunatic that ever occupied the White House.

“Why is naaCP not racist? Colored People??”

Wow, I have been thinking the same thing you are. I have concluded that this group should rename themselves the NAAAAP. After all, they want to be called African-Americans, don’t they?

The NAACP is a racist organization.I want them removed from America.
***************************
But the SBLC, LULAC and la raza should be chained to the NAACP when that happens.
