NAACP Considers Resolution Decrying Racist Elements in Tea-Party Movement
The Kansas City Star ^ | Monday, July 12, 2010 | Judy L. Thomas

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will propose a resolution this week condemning racism within the tea party movement.

The resolution, scheduled for a vote as early as Tuesday by delegates attending the annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”

NAACP leaders said the resolution was necessary to make people aware of what they believe is a racist element within the tea party movement.

Among the charges lodged against the tea party in the resolution:

•Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”

•Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.

Tea party supporters also have a distorted view of race relations, the resolution says, citing poll data that found that 25 percent believe that the Obama administration’s policies favor blacks over whites, and 52 percent believe that “too much” has been made of the problems facing black people, compared with 28 percent of the general population.

There are many things I truly am. One I am NOT is a skilled typist. Sorry about that AND I re-read my post twice. At least I got it right in the beginning.

Our first mistake was not picking our own cotton.

Makes me think we're repeating history with the illegal invasion of Mexicans and the crop picking.

What “Racist Faction” at the Tea Party? Oh, you mean those Liberal Imposters who show up with their obnoxious signs and try to “blend in,” yet stand out like a zit on the end of your nose? Perhaps they would find more racists if they go looking at the next Democrat National Convention. I understand that’s where the KKK and their ilk like to “hang.” Because, you know, Good Ol’ Boys from the hills and the hollers join the KKK “just to get elected” as a Democrat, apparently.

“the White House released its visitor log today with some interesting names making the list. I thought I’d highlight a few of the more *colorful* characters who have visited the Obama White House this year, starting with Malik Shabazz.

This name might be familiar to some of you; Shabazz is the national chairman of the New Black Panther Party—the black supremacist group that faced voter intimidation charges stemming from the November 2008 election after they stood outside one Philadelphia polling location wielding billy clubs. These charges brought on by the Bush administration’s Justice Department were later dismissed by Attorney General Eric Holder of the Obama administration.”

So, the NAACP and the 0bamas are providing cover for the Panthers.

0bama wants a race war. She went to Wright’s ‘church,’ too. And so did the kids.
