The NAACP is wailing to the heavens in response to President Trump's refusal to attend the organizations 108th national convention in Baltimore next weekend. The NAACP is nonpartisan, the spokesmen indignantly cry. It serves the entire community. It has welcomed presidents to the convention for decades, including Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and somebody they call Bush, Jr. Even Barack Obama, who though not raised in the U.S. and who could scarcely be considered an American black, saw his way to attending the annual convention.
The reason, of course, is racism. The Presidents decision underscores the harsh fact: we have lost weve lost the will of the current Administration to listen to issues facing the Black community.
Yet another paragraph follows, underlining the racism accusation without ever quite stating it explicitly: We fight to end racism, hatred and discrimination in the United States. Our branches fight for real issues like access to healthcare, a fair justice system, equal opportunity to education, an end to police brutality and the right to vote. When President Trump is ready to listen to us and the people we serve, we will be here. Until then, the NAACP will continue to strive for an America free from racism and continue to speak truth to power.
And of course, it has to be racism. What else could it be? What other reason could Trump possibly have to turn them down?
Well, as the record reveals, plenty. A brief examination of Trump/NAACP interaction clearly shows the organization spitting in the Presidents face at every opportunity. A few examples from the past year: From September of last year:
Wendell Anthony, President of the Detroit NAACP, spoke with Roland Martin about Trumps attempt to woo African-American voters and the upcoming meeting...

This schizophrenic dance we have with race in this nation has got to stop.
Why would president Trump attend a black klan rally which is exactly what the NAACP is?
Finally we have a President who stands on principle and doesn’t kowtow to these kind of organizations which are relentlessly pushing their un-American agendas.
Trump refuses to kiss their (nose/lip/neck) ring. /s
The NAACP is not “non-partisan”, and President Trump did not fall for their emotional blackmail, as other Presidents have been guilted into doing. The organization is only slightly to the right of Black Lives Matter, in that they are not openly calling for a war on police, but like the “good Muslims” who do not condemn the radical terrorist elements of Islam, they tacitly support what the BLM is doing.
Phony liberals all.
“The NAACP is nonpartisan”!
CRAPPOLA.
True. This organization has never backed a Republican period.

Trump made the right choice...
Queue Hillary...
National Association for the Advancement of Communist Principles
So what do they say about the Democrats over the numbers of blacks killed in Democrat run cities?
Or how about abortion and planned parenthood?
Remember when Trump wanted to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus? At first it was going to happen, then suddenly that was unacceptable to “have a dialogue about race” with the white honkey racist president.
Yes, I know it’s not the exact same organization, but the double standard is blatant as f***.
Simple logic:
If it’s ok to have a “National Association for the Advancement of Black People,” why is it not ok to have a “National Association for the Advancement of White People?”
If that isn’t racism, what IS racism?
I asked that question as a kid back in the 60’s and the adults just chuckled, seemingly at my naivety.
Makes sense to me.
Why would you meet with bigots? Would you expect Trump to attend a KKK rally?
I think you mean “cue” Hillary.
Unless you want to make her stand in line. ;-)
“.....the NAACP will continue to strive for an America free from racism..........”
Best they start with their own such as BLM, the Black Panthers and the numerous other black racist groups before tackling President Trump. Hypocrites!
Issues? What Issues? Didn’t their Lord and Savior Obama fix everything in the minority community? Didn’t Obama lead them to the promise land? There are no issues for the few hundred actual dues paying NAACP members except to find more dues paying members.
Yes.
Yes, you have.
