The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) neglected to include Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) n its post-election congratulations to African-Americans who won their races.
Cornell William Brooks, President and CEO of the NAACP, characterized the election of the Black conservatives as "more of a setback than an advancement for people of color. These two have bought the right wing propaganda that individual achievement, hard work, and honesty are the way a person gets ahead in this world. Unfortunately, every individually successful Black person dilutes our case for slavery reparations."
Brooks predicted that Love and Scott "will join their white oppressors in voting against increases in welfare benefits, against racial set-asides, against reparations, and for the kind of strict law enforcement that has disproportionately sent so many of our brothers to prison. They are traitors to their race."
Rep. Love, who grew up in humble circumstances, cited her father's advice "to never take a hand-out and never be a burden to society as my guiding light in social, economic, and political philosophy." This is a view that Brooks contends "puts her diametrically at odds with the vast majority of African Americans."
Sen. Scott, meanwhile was given an "F" by the NAACP for vowing to "free Black Americans from the trap of dependency that the Democratic Party has lured so many into. The only secure path to a successful life is through personal effort. I will be working toward removing the barriers to this effort erected by Democrats."

Good one.
Brooks predicted that Love and Scott “will join their white oppressors in voting against increases in welfare benefits, against racial set-asides, against reparations, and for the kind of strict law enforcement that has disproportionately sent so many of our brothers to prison. They are traitors to their race.”
How revealing: welfare, quotas, “reparations” and soft on crime
That pretty much says it all why NAACP types are permanently mired at the bottom of the socio-economic barrel
Not really satire if it’s true, is it?
Not really satire.
Bump.
The only “colored” Americans to be elected to the House with a majority of white votes and a minority of black votes in 2014. So much for the advancement of colored people!
Again brilliant and are you sure it’s satire and not reality? It sounds like something the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world would really say.
Also, apostates to the left's religion: statism.
As usual, you nailed it.
Give it a week and the left will turn that satire into a reality.
John has that talent to sculpt a story that walks a razor’s edge between truth and fiction.
I can’t count the times that I read his articles and ‘reacted’ before I realized it was satire. It was just SO DARN BELIEVABLE.
Some say it’s because we want to believe it, but I say it’s because they have made it obvious in their actions.
Heh, he is good at it. Me too.
I got to the point that, before reacting, I would take a quick peek at the author...:)
Uncle Toms.
Another good one John. Thanks for the ping. Appreciate your work.
and so it begins...
Hence the phrase, "some people just can't take a joke".

Good job. Another one that is more truth than satire.
