The leader of America's largest civil rights organization on Monday attacked African American groups that he said were helping white conservatives promote a right-wing agenda.
Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, condemned the groups as a "collection of black hustlers" who have adopted a conservative agenda in return for "a few bucks a head."
"When the ultraconservative right-wing attacker has run out of attack strategy, he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attack," Mfume said in his opening address to the NAACP's annual convention.
"They've financed a conservative coalition of make-believe black organizations, all of them hollow shells with more names on the letterhead than there are people in their membership," he said.
John White, a spokesman for the NAACP, said this was the first time Mfume has publicly attacked other black groups.
Mfume did not name his targets but they are believed to include Project 21, a Washington, D.C.-based organization whose Web site says it is dedicated to issues such as entrepreneurial spirit and the family that have "not traditionally been echoed by the nation's civil rights establishment."
David Almasi, director of Project 21, acknowledged there is "probably" an ideological divide between his group and the NAACP but said Project 21 is financially independent from political parties.
"We take no marching orders from anyone," he said.
Almasi said Mfume's comments may have been aimed at the African American Republican Leadership Council, whose mission is to "break the liberal Democrat stranglehold over black America," according to its Web site.
Although the NAACP is officially non-partisan, only about 9 percent of African American voters supported George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election, the group said.
The NAACP, founded in 1909, says it has 500,000 adult and youth members.
In other news, Hamas expressed outrage that Shimon Peres refused an invitation to speak at their convention...
Julian Bond has always been "really annoying."
Yes, it may have cost a vote, although I doubt it.
I cannot believe this guy is calling someone else a "race hustler". Is this bizarro world?
old quesi is starting to realize he has a 1960's organization in a 2004 world...too bad
As for the NAACP, I am constantly amazed at how they choose to burn their bridges with conservatives, even though the black population is very close to conservatives on many issues. The NAACP could be putting the liberal issues on the back burner for now, and working on the conservative black issues with conservatives, and make a lot of progress. Yet since 1994, they choose hold the conservative issues back, and take ever more desperate gambles to put liberals back in power.
Stay on the plantation if you know what's good for you. As an overseer, I call on you not to rock the boat and jeopardize my position. The entitlement society and victim mentality that permeates the plantation is essential if I'm to stay in power.

Holy projection, Batman!
"They've financed a coalition of make-believe black organizations, all of them hollow shells with more names on the letterhead than there are people in their membership," he said."
Yes true, those coalitions are Jesse Jacksons personal favorite, out of wedlock Baby Fund ..oops I mean Rainbow coalition, Louis FarraCons keep yee womin barefoot, pregnant and subserviant ..oops I mean Nation of IsLame, Al Sharptons Tijuana Brawley Fund ..oops I mean ... (you get the picture)
""When the ultraconservative right-wing attacker has run out of attack strategy, he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attack," Mfume said in his opening address to the NAACP's annual convention."
Oh just say it, you know you want to. Unless you are a liberal that follows the party line you are not black. That is what is meant here by stating we find someone that "looks" like but really is a "hollow shell" of them.
I'm loving this more by the day. G.W. really hit a nerve by stating the truth of this organization. LOL
Sounds like the NAALCP has finally got a dent in their armor. They must be feeling some heat.
KEEP IT UP BLACK CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!
A crackpot calling the kettle.
Translation: The next time a DemocRAT gets elected to the White House, these groups are going to be audited by the IRS.
Projection, Kweisi, it's called projection.
Is it true that Kweisi Mfume's parents dreamed up his name while smoking crack and playing scrabble?
Wow, Frizzell Gray is getting a bit snippy bout the sable folk movin off da plantation an gettin indepenent an all dat....
Mfume is accusing folks like me of being paid?
Please! Pay me! Someone!
If I'm getting paid, then I'd kind of like to know about it -- I know my wife would!
