I remember seeing her a number of times when I thought she was quite attractive. It actually made me sad when I saw what she eventually turned into.
Somewhere along the way, she lost her dignity, at the very least for moments in time, perhaps for all time.
re: “Applaud her appeal to this communist organization but any organization which by its very name is racist, tries to address racial issues, it is like an abortionist trying to abort only pro-life people.”
I, too, am proud of her and the pastor’s courage to speak so truthfully in front of a hostile crowd. I hope some of those who listen will change their hearts toward the truth.
However, I think we need to qualify a bit your comment that the NAACP is merely a “communist organization and “racist by its very name”.
Like many organizations founded long ago, such as several well-known Ivy-League colleges, some of whose foundings were Christian or conservative, many have left their original goals and missions and gone off the deep end into Marxism.
This is also true of the NAACP. In its early years, it was often connected with the Republican party because Republicans were for equality and freedom for all American citizens. I’m not saying it was sponsored by Republicans, far from it, but it wasn’t based on “communism” or “marxism” either. The NAACP never espoused communism in its founding. In fact, here is their mission statement as given in 1911:
“To promote equality of rights and to eradicate caste or race prejudice among the citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for the children, employment according to their ability and complete equality before law.”
I think we would have to agree that blacks, in 1911, were not fairly treated nation-wide in the “courts, education, employment according to their ability” - especially in the South.
However, you are absolutely correct that this once good organization is now gone completely left-wing. This occurred during the late 1960’s and into the 1970’s. So, your claim about them being a communist organization and racist has been true since the mid-1970’s.
Barring a miracle, I don’t see the NAACP changing back to its original mission, which is what these two brave black conservatives are basically asking this group to do.
These black conservatives should start their own organization and stop paying dues to the NAALCP.
One wears a cross. One wears a ..... PEANUT?
NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Communist Principles
I would have to say she’s permanently gone.
LOL, I have no idea what that is.
Excellent, Rev. Bryant!
That is akin to asking a hog to stop wallowing in the mud.
Don’t know what it is but first thoughts were it’s a critter’s tooth, shark maybe?
I think that’s a safe bet...
I think it’s a peanut. Jimmy Carter probably gave it to her.
It is a goober pea!
I found this: “Peanut Price Support Program: ... Pennsylvania CYNTHIA A. McKINNEY, Georgia SCOTTY BAESLER, Kentucky KAREN L. THURMAN, Florida SANFORD D. ”
“I dont think the National Association for the Advancement of Communist Precepts is going to pay heed to black conservatives.”
Nope. Not ever.
Are you now blessed with Hank Johnson? LOl!
.... Isn't that kinda like asking the NRA to denounce firearms?
I am a big admirer of hers.
She always presents her points with class. Unlike the other side.
LOL! Had never seen the “before” picture of her.
When I saw some of the pictures of her popping up, I had to go back and see if I was remembering the same person. Sadly, I was.
You have to wonder if her outlook on life took that big a swing as well. I wouldn’t be surprised.
Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater girl in the 60s. She met the mentor that turned her, in her Senior (possibly junior) year of high school. He was an inner city Lefty religious leader.
No, they redrew the lines more like they had been for a long time. I’ve been back in the GA 6th, which is Newt’s old district, for a good while now. It is now held by Dr. Tom Price, who is pretty darn good.
It was really ugly at the time, going to bed one night represented by Newt, waking up represented by Jihad Cyndy.
