Why bother?

[bill1952]

which is his attempt to revive the relationship between black voters and the GOP

LOL! What relationship would that have been Michael?

[wk4bush2004]

Didn’t the NAACP endorse Obama?

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

Why Martin Luther King was Republican

[Salvation]

Black voters are getting fed up with Obortion Obama — not so fast on your judgments there.

[SolidWood]

He has a point. But it’s up to the NAACP and Co. to realize that they are being fooled by the Democrat party. If they embrace Conservatism (same goes for the RNC btw.) it would be fine.

[Salvation]

Or shall Obortion keep condoning this?

(In other words, Steele has a case.)

[bill1952]

Try to stay in this Century.

That was 50 years ago when the South was a solid democrat voting block.

Billboard in Houston:

It really has all the Marxist and Malcolm-X wannabees in Houston whining and crying like babies!

Did you read the whole link from a 2006 article.

The historical ties are clear the difference today is the NAACP is more concerned with looting a living from race demagoguery than actually championing civil rights.

[MrEdd]

The one that freed their ancestors from Confederate slave owners.

"Why bother?"

Exactly...entitlements-dependent and "on the plantation" folks ain't gonna vote away their meal ticket, medical coverage, food stamps, housing vouchers, etc.

I don't know that I've seen it posted, but the debt owed to WHITE men, who fought and died in the Revolutionary War to make this a FREE country, now are relegated to funding the handouts to those who came AFTER the greatest nation in the world was formed. If they came unwillingly, they are free to leave, and return to their "roots".....we could save a lot of taxpayers billions of dollars by implementing a program to export anyone who wants to live by un-Constitutional provisions.

[erman]

what a fool. The NAACP isn't EVER going to get off the plantation of the democrat slave owners. They get their little scraps off the table and some of them get to go to the big house to sit at the master's table.

Neat.

The rest of their "supporters" get to live in ghettos, sentence their kids to death, poor education and cultural of hatred.

Good for them. Keep up the good work... fools.

All anyone has to do is see how oppressed minorities in this country have done and how the "help" of government has worked out.

The Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Irish, Catholics and Italians...... Mexicans are in between with the leftist and lazy trying to be race baiters while most of the immigrants (legal) are incorporating themselves into the American culture.

That is not accurate.

[Superiorryan]

Factcheck?!

[ansel12]

Is that a question of some sort?

[bill1952]

the NAACP is more concerned with looting a living from race demagoguery ..

Well, you will get no argument from me on that one.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I am so sick at those damn color schemes already. Communist Red for Republican ? Give me a break. I want to throttle our FReepers that excitedly claim they want to turn a state “red.” Sorry, ansel, I know you didn’t choose the colors in the graph, but that may now be my single biggest pet peeve in our ongoing psych warfare battle against the media.

[ansel12]

That color switch was one of the evidences of how the media works, one day it was just reversed and adopted, it was as though an office directive was delivered to the entire media.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup, in the 2000 general election. But I always expected them to pull crap like that, but was disturbs me is that our side bent over and took it as willingly as Barney Frank at a San Francisco Bathhouse. I mean, have THAT many people forgotten what that color means ? I've seen no other right-wing party in any other country on the planet use that color. I find it patently and viscerally offensive. Some folks think I overreact to this, but they have no idea what associating with that shade truly means...

The very embodiment of totalitarian leftist regimes, Naziism, Communism/Marxism/Stalinism, Chinese/Maoism Totalitarianism, Vietnam...
