Brutal Fisking: NC NAACP Chapter President Alleges Tea Party as Racist as Democrats

The NAACP has released its unbiased report on racism in the Tea Party and has unexpectedly found it is racist.

Hardly surprising.

The president of the North Carolina NAACP chapter, Rev. William Barber, went far enough in his condemnation of the group to be noticed by the Washington Post:

"We have to have particular concern about supremacy attitudes, violence, hate language, particularly when it's rooted in notions of restoring or taking back or redeeming the country," Barber said. "Because, in the American social-historical-political psyche, we have historical markers that tell us how dangerous this is to be given legitimacy."

For instance:

"We know in 1867 when the Ku Klux Klan, for instance, laid out its political purposes, it was about restoring and re-enfranchising, if you will."

"And then when you go to the Reconstruction Era, you find this same attempt to spew this division, this hate language out.... 'We need to restore America. We need to take it back.'"

Barber moved on to 1963. "When George Wallace used this language and themes of division, very vitriolic hate language," Barber said, "Medgar Evers was killed in June of that year... We had the bombing of a church, four girls were killed at Sunday school and then we had a president assassinated."

It's hard to believe I have to do this, but I guess I do, at least for the good Rev. Barber.

In 1867, when the Ku Klux Klan was still wet behind the ears, one of the leaders of the group and future Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest is reported as saying "that the Klan's primary opposition was to the Loyal Leagues , Republican state governments, people like Tennessee governor Brownlow and other carpetbaggers and scalawags ."

A little bit about Governor Brownlow. He was a Republican.

And during the Reconstrution, it was the Radical Republicans that made the most sweeping changes in the South, after they broke with Democrat Andrew Johnson in 1866. Democrats opposed the changes.

And really? George Wallace? He actually brought up George Wallace, the four term Democrat Governor of Alabama, who is best known for a) saying "I say segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever," b) standing in the doorway of Foster Auditorium in order to prevent black students from entering and c) being a Democrat.

“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles,
the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that
they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled
habit of advertising their wrongs, partly because they want sympathy and partly because
it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they
do not want to lose their jobs.”… Booker T. Washington …1904 quote

Right back atcha boys.

Nothing is more racist than the NAACP unless it is the Congressional Black Caucus.

The only thing that keeps the NAACP going is racism, the same is true for the Congressional Black caucus and their cries of racism are a joke.

I am sad to say that my state, North Carolina, is full of Democrat reverse racists like this NAACP guy.

It wouldn’t make any difference if the Tea Partiers had used no signs or said much of anything at all about Obama. The mere fact that they oppose any part of Obama’s socialist agenda makes them racist. Because in their eyes, any opposition to more money wasted on welfare and redistribution is racist. It wouldn’t even matter if Obama were totally of european ancestry like Bill Clinton. Because most members of the NAACP are socialists, opposition to a socialist agenda aka redistribution makes you a racist.

people like Tennessee governor Brownlow are responsible for the racism that exist, today. However, been several different torch carriers over the years.

The main fuel for the NAACP and CAIR to make their outrageous claims is the perception that we actually care what they think, or say.

From the early days of civil rights the best friend of minorities has been the media; the media was their for the dogs and the fire hoses, which was totally justified.

However, now the media has become the kissing stone for minorites and they run to it for even the slightest perception of being "dissed". The things the rest of us "suck up" and go on living, are the lead story for the MSM when brought forward by these racist groups.

The media - basically - exists to start touble; their penchant to play "he said - she said" to try and cause controversy is their stealth way to generate news where there is none.

The media lives and dies via ratings, and they have learned that the more controversial, the higher the ratings. The media KNOWS most people go to the races to see the crashes, and most people came to the Coliseum to see the lions eat the gladiators. They are well-schooled in the old adage, "dog bites man is NOT news, man bites dog IS news..".

And NAACP and CAIR knows that too. They have used the willing media to totally abuse the original, Republican-passed, Civil Rights bill. The "hand up" has turned into a total "hand out" and it is totally out of control.

Thicken your skin and stop knee-jerking to these two groups or to their media lapdogs. Their demands and remarks only work if we CARE about CAIR...they're un-American acting.

A sure way to create racists is to accuse good people of racism until they are sick of your race.

Apparently the nimrod was hoping we wouldn't notice. Thanks Bodhi1.
