NAACP Head Ben Jealous: American Revolution 'Wasn't Good for Nobody'
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/13/2010 11:33:55 AM PDT by kristinn

In remarks ignored by the national media, Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), attacked the American Revolution as "not good for nobody" in a speech last night at the NAACP's 101st annual convention being held in Kanasas City.

Jealous also criticized the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin in his speech.

Jealous' comments were not reported by the national media, but they were reported (in text and by video) by KMBC-TV in Kansas City.

"Expel the bigots and racists in your ranks or take full responsibility for for all of their actions."

"...We will no longer allow you to hide like cowards behind signs that say 'Lynch Our President' or anyone else."

"Sarah Palin says, 'Let's party like it's 1776.' My white daddy would say be careful what you wish for because the 18th century, Sarah, wasn't good for nobody, even folks like you."

The NAACP is scheduled to vote today on a resolution accusing the Tea Party of being led by "hardcore white supremacists".

Rush Limbaugh played a clip of Jealous saying that Tea Party protesters carried signs saying "lynch Barack Hussein Obama and lynch Eric Holder."

Apparently, he's "Ben Jealous" all his life. (rimshot) Okay: cheap joke.

The serious part is that statements like his have been piling up in recent days form the Left, as their true agenda increasingly comes out of the closet and into the streets. Progressives believe that America is fatally flawed, was illegitimately founded, and what's more: they detest our Constitution. They wish to remake the country in an image more accommodating of their collectivist ideology and secular faith.

"lynch Barack Hussein Obama and lynch Eric Holder."

And I'm just SURE, the patriotic Americans they are, they decried eight years of signs saying "Kill Bush"

Liberals would have supported the British if it was 1776 all over again.

Be careful: he used a double negative:

‘wasn’t good for nobody’

= ‘was good for somebody’

It was the “self-evident” concepts codified in the Declaration of Independence that led to the death of an institution thousands of years old in the Western World.

Within a hundred years..the Civil War settled the issue of slavery once and for all ...and without the American Revolution, would not have happened.

Stupid fool.

American Revolution ‘Wasn’t Good for Nobody’

Africans suffered more, worse and longer than any other humans on the face of the earth from the evils of colonialism. (They still suffer the after affects in some places)

Americans threw off British colonial authority nearly unaided, at tremendous human/material expense and against nearly insurmountable odds… AND they did it for themselves and for all who ever live here.

Our revolution ‘wasn’t good for nobody’… how????

What a MORON!!!

Booker T Washington saw this coming. Hucksters looking to keep re-opening old wounds, keeping the grievances, a doctor not wanting the patient to be cured. He saw the race hustlers and the poverty pimps on the horizon, even if they were decades after his passing.

Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and Eric Holder have succeeded in emboldening a segment of the black population to "speak their minds". As a result, their ignorance and hateful black racism is in full display.

This will be an interesting dynamic to watch as the elections approach. While it may help spur minority turnout, it is hard to see how this helps the Democrats overall.

They are working their troops up to jihad, slowly but surely. I don’t know what they expect to gain but I reckon we’ll find out.

Ah, Julian Bond. That explains SO much to those of us who are old enough to remember what a handsome, young communist he was back in the day. MLK never saw it coming or refused to admit it, but the handsome Mr. Bond brought a great deal of woe to the icon of my youth. That’s Bond, J. Bond.

Thanks for the links. I see Ben thinks that “Van Jones is an American treasure”. There is an obvious retort to that comment, but I would not wish to be accused of being a racist.

Established in 1909-1910, NAACP leadership was non-black until 1975.
