The whole point of the NAACP or any activist organization is to skew reality. Is this the beginning of a month of eating crow?

Durham, N.C. -- The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case — from defense attorneys to state bar officials — to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review.
"We sincerely believe that the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved in this matter is unwarranted and threatens to pervert the truth-finding process," said the Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
No parties involved in the case have indicated whether they plan to stop speaking publicly.
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, under heavy criticism for his handling of the case, asked the attorney general's office this month to take over the prosecution — a decision Barber said his organization applauded.
Until turning the case over to state prosecutors, Nifong led the investigation into allegations that a 28-year-old black student at North Carolina Central University, hired to perform as a stripper, was raped and beaten by three white men at a March 13 party thrown by Duke's highly ranked lacrosse team.

Does anyone besides me think that the NAACP is doing more to spread racism than the KKK "in the current times?".
A few of us do.

The NAACP is not a credible organization. Their disgraceful conduct towards are President can never be forgiven.
Too little, too late - NAALCP!! You and your ilk have already been out painting these young men guilty before the "alleged victim" had given a statement to D.A.s office. To you and your supporters it is all about race, and nothing less.
"We sincerely believe that the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved in this matter is unwarranted and threatens to pervert the truth-finding process,"
El Nino must be playing with their minds....
My memory did not fail me:

On May 24, 2006, Paul Bonner reported in The Herald-Sun, a Durham newspaper:
"DURHAM — A lawyer with the state NAACP said the civil rights organization intends to seek a gag order in the Duke lacrosse case, and a journalist who participated in a forum with him on Wednesday said media coverage of the alleged rape may deprive the alleged victim of her legal rights to a fair trial.
"Al McSurely, an attorney who chairs the Legal Redress Committee for the state National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he generally respects the defense attorneys in the case as colleagues. But they are violating the State Bar's rules of professional conduct that discourage comments outside court that are likely to prejudice a case, he said.
"The NAACP will try to intervene in the case to file a 'quiet zone/let's let justice work' motion. That is otherwise known as a gag order, he acknowledged, although he said he doesn't like that term."

Oh my...........tell me that this is really from THE ONION. LOL
I'm beginning to think that America needs an organization called NAAWP - National Association for the Advancement of White People. Then when someone like Nifong, et al, come out against white folks, simply because they are white, we can rise up in force.
Have you not seen the very long hoax "fact sheet" on NC NAACP's website? It's way too long for me to post here.
http://www.naacpncnetwork.org/Publicity/768/
And never forget that the NAACP did get something like a gag order from Judge Titus. I still don't know what to call his unauthorized ruling -- other than a travesty. And Nifong didn't even have to ask for it.
This case has really turned the legal system upside down! We've seen winning motions via the news media by the NAACP -- even if the organization has nothing remotely close to standing. We've seen the application of the Professional Responsibility Rules to non-lawyers. Of course this was necessary so that the alleged victim wouldn't be deprived "of her legal rights to a fair trial."
And no one in the MSM challenges any of this. Have these people not heard of the Constitution? Maybe they should try reading it. Then maybe they'd understand how ignorant they sound.
The Wilmington Journal had another editorial on this matter today:
http://www.wilmingtonjournal.com/News/article/article.asp?NewsID=75485&sID=34
In some ways it is not a bad editorial and in other ways it is a threat to the AG.
Ironically editorial asks,
"You have to be willing to also charge anyone else who may have committed a crime (like who went into the accuser’s bag and took the $400.00 in cash she was just paid?"
I wonder how the editorial board would like it if the AG's special prosecutors, investigated thoroughly, found Roberts [aka Pittman] had $400 unaccounted for dollars in a deposit that night and charged her? She has a record as a thief. She says Mangum said to her she had her money when they were leaving. So that leave one person with motive, opportunity and a prior, unless you want to charge a member of the DPD, Durham Accces or Duke University Hospital ER.
Wasn't Nifong already finished shooting his mouth off by then?
Weren't the race-baiters already pretty much finished with the rabble rousing by then?
Isn't that when stuff started to come out about mishandling & misrepresenting the case, etc?
Just asking.
Words fail me. What a hypocrite he is.
Thanks. I read it after I read the latest from Cash Michaels. This has not helped my fast.
"Durham, N.C. -- The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case — from defense attorneys to state bar officials — to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review. "
Case 1,000,599 of a false claim against caucasians. Gee why would they want more publicity. I don't recall them speaking out against any of the egregious behaviour.
Now that the wheel has turned, and the case no longer fits their worldview, they want the publicity to cease.
Pathetic.
I guess Mr. McSurley has never read the United States Constitution. The Fifth and Sixth Amendment guarantee the accused the right to a fair trial. It says nothing about guaranteeing a complainant anything.
Jakki, Victoria Peterson, Karla Holloway, NC NAACP, Cash Michaels ... looks like a WEAK but organized effort ... preparing to back off assault charges and claiming racism???

Dear NC State Attorney General Roy Cooper:
(MAJOR snip)
After all, as a Democrat, just like Mike Nifong, you need the Black vote for any future political aspirations.

Go to one of their meetings sometime.
They are every bit as racist as the KKK.
