Romney Speech to NAACP Panned
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 15 July 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 07/16/2012 9:39:49 AM PDT by John Semmens

Officers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) expressed their disappointment at the content of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s recent speech to the organization’s annual meeting.

Clayola Brown, member of the NAACP’s National Board of Directors, found fault with “Romney’s assumption that Black people want jobs. The white man still owes us for 300 years of slavery. We don’t need to be told that Mr. Romney will push policies that get us jobs. The time for us to work is past. It’s time for us to get paid.”

Board member, Amos Brown, called Romney’s address “an insult to the NAACP.” Brown said he was “especially incensed that Romney emphasized the importance of the family for bringing up children. With so many Black mothers deserted by their children’s fathers he’s just rubbing salt in the wounds. At least President Obama is helping by eliminating the work requirement for receiving welfare benefits.”

Representative Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri) judged Romney’s appearance at the event as “embarrassing and ignorant. Doesn’t he know that the President has sewn up the Black vote? Why does he insist on coming here to offer words we don’t want to hear?”

Cleaver said he has “no problem with President Obama’s decision to bypass the NAACP convention. We already know the President is Black. On top of that, I heard that he’s going to be paying our utility bills. So , there’s no need for him to waste his time talking to us. It’s better that he devote his energy to sweet talking some rich white dudes out of a big chunk of campaign cash.”

BFD.

This has all the surprise of the Communist Party telling us they’re not running a candidate because they’re happy with the currect Democrat candidate.

FU Racists!

Unfortunately, Romney was unaware that his audience had an
average age of 15.

Oops, satire.

My response would be the same.

And I have no doubt that the racist freaks are “disappointed”.

You want to know what’s keeping most of the blacks down on the plantation, listen to what this MORON has to say. We don’t owe the blacks nothing. Quit your complaining and whining and go get a job or open a business. PLAYING THE VICTIM is going to get you nowhere.

Frankly, why does anyone even care about these people. They’re totally predictable and totally hopeless. Just don’t expect anything from them except exactly what their passed performance indicates.

Anything less of promising reparations would be panned
