abc: What Do You Think of the NAACP's Condemning Tea Party Elements as 'Racist'?
abcnews ^ | June 13, 2010 | HUMA KHAN

Posted on 07/13/2010 9:05:51 AM PDT by maggief

The NAACP is expected to approve a resolution today condemning the Tea Party for "racist elements that are a threat to democracy."

The proposed resolution, which is expected to pass today at the organization's annual convention in Kansas City , Mo., cites cases of what it calls "explicitly racist behavior," including "signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically."

NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell told ABC News, "We're deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse the progress that we've made," and asked that "law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements, that they recognize the historic and present racist elements that are within the Tea Party movement."

They never tire of their race baiting.

What they are actually doing is defending the incompetence of our current faux President.

There is no defense. The man is toatally unqualified for the job.

They call his incompetence racist on the part of those who point it out.

Every white man knew this was coming.It’s age old and has been around since affirmative action came on the scene. When people pointed out that affirmative action hires could not do the job, this same answer was used. It was racist to say that they were not qualified.

Just using the same old scam.

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Fixed it!

What does ABC think of it? They are the news organization. You would think they could investigate the claims and report back. I know. Too much to ask for.

Has ABC covered Holder’s DoJ dropping charges based on race NBP case or has it covered the ‘kill crackers’ incident as it directly relates to the NBP, etc yet? But yeah, they will cover this because it is AGAINST the Tea Party or because it hope to further insinuate that the Tea Party is full of racists and extremists.....why the frak are people still watching ABC, let alone NBC, CBS, etc.? Idiots. =.=

Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology."

“Although it [The New Black Panther Party] says it sees capitalism as the fundamental problem with the world and “revolution” as the solution, the new party does not draw its influences from Marxism or Maoism as the original party did. Instead, in a carefully-worded, roundabout form of ethnic nationalism,[8] they say that Marx based his ideology and teachings on indigenous African cultures, and that the NBPP therefore need not look to Marxism or Maoism as a basis for their program, but can look to ideologies that stem directly from those African origins.”

No need to poll. The MSM has already decided what we think.

We are trying to degrade COMMUNISTS at the heart of our government, as well as their fellow travelers in the MSM, colleges, etc. That is not “racism” you morons- that is the desire for LIBERTY!

The comments on the ABC site are for the most part disturbing. The ‘guns of August’ scenario is looking more and more plausible.

I’m thinking that ABC ought to report the statements of the Black Panthers before they worry about Tea Partiers.

I think at one time, the NAACP was an organization of honorable people trying to do good. I now think that the NAACP is filled with disreputable race profiteers and race race baiters, who are *all* about the color of one’s skin, and could care less about the content of peoples character. And are the antithesis of the aspirations of Martin Luther King Jr.

If any group is harboring racists, the NAACP is right up there, as an enforcement arm of the DemoKlan.

Kinda like unions - maybe necessary at their outset,
but now only interested in their self-perpetuation.
