BALTIMORE (AP) The president of the NAACP is stepping down as head of the nation's oldest and largest civil rights group, according to newspaper reports. Kweisi Mfume, who has been president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1996, planned to make the announcement Tuesday, The (Baltimore) Sun, citing an anonymous source, reported in Tuesday editions. The resignation was also reported Tuesday in a USA Today opinions column by weekly contributor DeWayne Wickham.

Last month, the NCAAP announced that the Internal Revenue Service was reviewing the organization's federal tax-exempt status. NAACP chairman Julian Bond said the investigation stems from a July speech he gave that was critical of President Bush. Tax-exempt organizations are required to remain nonpartisan.

The black people need to wake up. The Dims use them to push their agendas.
Are the blacks who follow the democratic party blind or stupid?

I think when Bush snubbed the speaking invitation to appear at the NAACP convention without a serious backlash, the writing was on the wall that this organization had finally lost any claim to be an independent advocate for black interests.
Everyone now recognizes that, like the Teamsters Union is run by gangsters, the NAACP has been taken over by the Democratic Party. Now, it's primary role is to keep the black voters on the Democratic Party plantation as a dependable voting block.
The NAACP must re-examine it's mandate and re-dedicate itself to it's original goals or it will be replaced by newer, more relevant groups.

Actually, on a more serious side, if they did install a Bill Cosby, or Ken Hamlin, or Walter Williams, or the gentleman from California whose name I can't remember, the focus of the NAACP would change from a victim status to a self help status very quickly. If they saw the organization for what it is and disbanded it and became full time Americans instead of trying to keep themselves apart and separate the country would be so much better. I've always blamed the Clintons for dividing the country - fat people are bad, smokers are evil, SUV owners are greedy, etc and hyphenated Americans are victims. To paraphrase, Can't we all just be Americans?

One of the first bills our new congress should pass is a new bill that very clearly states any political partisan activities by any Tax-exempt organizations will result in loss of Tax-exempt statuts for 10 years. The board members and directors of any Tax-exempt group would be responsible in both criminal and civilian courts for the violation. If found guilty, they could go to jail and lose what they own in civil courts in damages. If the Tax-exempt group is guilty of more than one violation, their character is permanently revoked, and their board members and directors are banned from ever serving on any future non profit board.

We will have a lot more peace in America and the world when the tax exempt status of the NGO's which hate America is rebuked.
Then, they can raise their funds like the NRA does. Of course that will probably not happen.
