The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), also known as the Black Press of America, which is a non-partisan 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has decided to show its disapproval of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" remarks by canceling a convention in the state.
"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said in a statement.

LOL!
They probably only booked the convention (if even they did that), so they could loudly unbook it in protest.
The Wilson thing came up, so they unbooked it.
They probably have it booked for every year in SC for the next 10 years, so every year they can get in a snit over something and unbook it again.
I just want to know when Black folks are going to stop killing people. Or at least when their leaders like Mr. Blackwell are going to notice how many black murderers are killing their own?
You cannot turn on the local news and not see an african american murderer.
I axe you now, don’t you think the NNPA needs a little disrespect?
You’re probably right. If they’d gone ahead with it, the NAACP would be all over them for breaking their useless “boycott” of South Carolina, which only seems to be observed by Democratic politicians and the fringiest of the black racist fringe. (And only ever seriously hurt black-owned businesses in the SC Lowcountry who specialized in tourism involving the rich post-slavery Gullah culture.)

I wonder if the tax money for their organization is only black money from blacks that pay taxes?
Another Black non partisan organization. I wonder if the White Newsgroups are going to boycott SC also?
Reminds me of a great lyric from the Five Chinese Brothers
And I wish we were married
So we could get divorced
Get over this loving stuff
Let nature take its course
You can’t choose who you love
Darling we’re the living proof
So we’ll ride this old landslide where it takes us
Headlong to the truth
“Rep. Wilson’s remarks were racist,
So in these people minds if a person is a liar, no one can call that person a liar, if that persons skin happens to be black?
Sorta pathetic isn’t it?

GOOD!!! One can only imagine the hue and cry if there was an organization of White Press of America!!
These people should be comedians.
Black Press of America talking about Black money and Black spending , and calling someone else racist.
Blow it out your butts.Your flatulent whines are getting heard so often they are beginning to be ignored, and it’s about time.
I havent heard anything but racism accusations since this Usurper came into the White House.
Hey, Danny. Stay out of Texas, too.
or something like groucho, he was a huge fan of gilbert & sullivan. is that who wrote those lyrics?
Black Press Week, the annual celebration of the birth of the Black Press of America, March 16, 1827, will salute America’s first family, celebrate civil rights champions and honor a political pioneer during its annual Newsmaker of the Year Award Dinner March 19.
“Black Press Week promises to be the most exciting ever,” says Dorothy R. Leavell, chair of the NNPA Foundation, unveiling this year’s honorees, selected by member publishers. “The pride of our profession gladdens our hearts as we acknowledge the first African-American president and replay the role of the Black Press over these 182 years.”

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Oops, guess some people don't want us to be there, yet.
I worked for a "community newspaper" once...it was a free throwaway!
MSNBC / White House CONCEDES Wilson was RIGHT on Illegal Aliens and Health Care Reform

To all liberal Democrat blacks:
You lie. You lie. You lie. You lie. You lie. You lie. You lie. You lie.
Does that guarantee that all liberal Democrat blacks will not come to my neighborhood?
