NAACP: Obama Win Won't Fix Race Problems CINCINNATI, July 14, 2005(AP) Racial disparity will remain an issue in America, regardless of whether Barack Obama is elected as the nation's first black president, the chairman of the NAACP told the organization's national convention Sunday night.
Julian Bond, a veteran civil rights leader, said Obama's candidacy doesn't "herald a post-civil rights America, any more than his victory in November will mean that race as an issue has been vanquished in America."
But he drew loud applause when he said the country, and "all of us here," are taking pride in the success in this year's campaign by a candidate who couldn't have stayed in some cities' hotels a few decades ago.
"We know that Obama's electoral success - even if he should win the ultimate prize - won't signal an end to racial discrimination, but it does mark the high point of an interracial movement that dates back to the Underground Railroad," Bond said, referring to Cincinnati's historical role in helping fleeing slaves reach freedom.

NAACP, KKK, and LA RAZA: Obama Win Won’t Fix Race Problems
I think I’m going to puke. The NAACP is in the business of race-baiting. Of course there has to be an unresolveable and eternal racial conflict. If it were to disappear, the exec’s at the NAACP would lose their fat salaries, which are derived from contributions from stupid donors.
“Race Relations” won’t be “fixed” until “African-Americans” can change places with their centuries-long oppressor white folk for a few decades. You know, make white people slaves for a bit.
The Liberals are doing their best to make it happen.
“The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side.”

NAACP will not be happy until every black owns a white slave.
I fear for America.
It was never intended to.
This means that all the people voting for Hussein Obama just because he’s black shouldn’t bother. It won’t fix anything.
Race Problem (i.e. Je$$e Jack$son) may fix Obama.
Full headline.....
Obama Win Won't Fix Race Problems, or We'll Be Out Of Business and Won't Have 'Nuttin After All These Years!
Maybe the NAACP isn’t needed anymore. If you look at their agenda from around 1950 or 1960, you would see that they have achieved all of their goals. From voting rights laws to civil rights laws, fair housing, and affirmative action, they have achieved what they were fighting for. So what’s left for a group when they have achieved what they were set up to do?
as long as the NAACP and parasites like jesse jackson and al sharpton can make big bucks off the ‘civil rights industry’, there will always be racial disparity no matter what the truth of the circumstances is.
They will never be free of slavery.......they won’t let themselves because it keeps them on welfare and dependent on Jackson, Sharpton, the NAACP, The Nation of Islam, etc.
I’m tired of hearing about it and have decided to ingore it from now on. Let them go piss in the wind.
Now that a black man has emerged as the DemocRAT nominee for POTUS, isn’t about time all affirmative action programs be terminated???
