This is a tremendous advancement for legitimate working people.

Somehow I think Colored People will survive w/o this DNC Front.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Badeye]

Yep.

Gas is more expensive, the cost of living is higher, people are not giving as much as they used to..

...in other words, it's election time (started early) and the DNC only has enough to spread around...Sir hillary has to spend millions more now , now that "Ears" is taking a slice

This is what happens in capitalism: people are laid off because the company wants to downsize. No doubt, this action will hurt the minorities, especially the blacks. /s

Good news! Maybe they won’t have the opportunity to do as much race baiting in the future, and poor black people can learn to stand on their own two feet rather than wait for a hand out from the government, courtesy of the mau-mauing by the NAACP.

I think that is the deal. Most of the money given just disappears into someone’s pocket.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned that there have been rumors for years of rampant embezzlement and corruption inside the NAACP.

[BeckB]

I wonder how much the leaders embezzled.

Although the NAACP is probably a bit short on its “diversity,” I’d suspect that more than a few officers there have discovered (besides being able to abscond with donations from suckers) what the unions are discovering...that the spiel they always claimed about supporting Democrats long enough and somehow the Democrats will support you in turn isn’t that accurate.

The new fads for trend “consciousness setters” are gay rights and global warming, after all. The days of Democrats talking primarily about unions and Blacks have long since passed.
