“There is plenty of racism on free republic. I don’t think that is a secret. The question is how to the mods deal with it. I read crap on here on a regular basis that I feel is am embarrassment to the site and to those reading the site.”
And how much of that crap is posted by trolls trying to make FR look bad? Alot, I imgine.
More than leaning toward slander, imo. FR should demand an apology/retraction/correction. Public.
Piffle ...
Those expecting to see racism will find it ... if you say that a white woman looks like "a crack whore", that's a description; to say the same thing about a black woman is racist (at least according to the players of the racism card). If you label a white guy as a dumb ape or stupid halfwit, it's a description; the same thing about a black guy is racist.
Racism card twaddle ...
Did you ever notice how old the people on stage of an NAACP event look? They are a bunch of geezers. They are the ones dying out trying to hold onto power. The young have moved on.
The last, desparate gasps of a long ago irrelevant organization, losing the power they’ve held over a captive audience is coming to an end.
I hope FR takes them to court.
I thought they claimed to have proof. All I see here is more accusation. In the school of Non-Rational Persuasion, that’s known as ‘begging the question’.
The NAACP has led African Americans into misery. They have betrayed the people they represent.
I am proud of the sentiments I see expressed about race on Free Republic. We believe in the Founding Fathers vision of a constitutional republic where “all men are created equal.” We believe in Martin Luther King’s dream of an America where men will be judged by their character not their color.
Its the NAACP that rejects that dream for tribalism in the pursuit of petty greed and power politics.
I doubt that anyone but race pimps give two sh*ts about what the NAACP says anymore, anyway. No worries, IMHO.
Burghart looks like a Morris Dees wannabe. This is the first I have heard of him.
The above is an interesting expose' of Zeskind as a purveyor of lefty "ritual defamation" for political purposes.
"...One methodology of choice is that old Stalinist standby, "ritual defamation." Says Wilcox bluntly, "The primary purpose of Watchdog organizations seems to be to call people names in the hope of defaming, discrediting, stigmatizing or neutralizing them."
As to Zeskind, he has imagined an impending "white Christian nation" that somehow manages to accomodate both anti-statist Christians and pagan Nazi socialists. He and his acolytes have made this oxymoron work in the public mind by routinely linking what he calls "the God, guts and guns crowd" with racists and fascists..."
Looks like the NAACP hired some minor league hack race pimp "researchers" to pound out some screed. This kind of material doesn't work like it used to. Primarily it is for the benefit of NAACP donors who can say to themselves that the NAACP is, "doing something".
Good post...
Thanks!
Word.
This sort of defense presumes there is some objective standard of moral behavior that applies equally to everyone. However, such a presumption is itself considered evidence of "racism" since no media-designated oppressor class is ever allowed to be the moral equal of any media-designated victim class.
That is why Bush never did anything about the border problem except to denounce conservative activists as "vigilantes." Bush knew the rules.
The only response that will earn atonement for FR eyes of polite society would be abject admission and apology combined with adoption of a Bush-like policy on immigration and related matters.
Another option would be to renounce the media-imposed moral doctrine altogether.
I won’t get nasty unless they turn violent. For the most part they brought their own misery on themselves.
Go you one better, whiskers ..... early voters Wednesday in Texas Cong. Dist. 30 found that the guy running against incumbent Eddie Bernice Johnson wasn't even on the ballot -- he got bumped off somehow!
How'd that happen, Eddie Bernice?
And this just a few weeks after a warehouse fire of extremely suspicious origins burned up over 10,000 E-Slate voting machines in Houston.
And now the Texas Democratic Party is suing hell out of a Tea Party group that was sending poll-watchers to the Houston early balloting locations -- the allegations of "harassment" sound very much like the shrill screaming and yelling in the NAACP report. Oh, and they're suing individuals, too, who are politically active -- a Colorado-style SLAPP suit, funded with Soros money.
Some of the "ethics complaints" are cookie-cutter stuff that Rahm's Netroots tried to do to Sarah Palin last year.
Making Houston-area FReepers wonder if there isn't an attempt to steal the election underway. Redisticting next year -- lots riding on this election!
The NAACP is a racist organization. By virtue of its exclusion of all other races other than Black.
The NAACP should disavow racism, and include members of ALL races to prove it.
Anyone going to hold their breath on that one? Yea, me neither.
Lawsuit pending? Will the NAACP be contributing to the FReepathons, soon?
