At this point it is surprising that the NAACP can afford paper and postage - they are down to 50 dues paying members

[Tudorfly]

Looks to me as if the NAACP is being racist.

[usafa92]

This is not the NCAA, it’s the NAACP pressuring pro athletes.

[MercyFlush]

So the NAACP wants to segregate Texas sports teams?

Izzat right?

[TexasM1A]

Sounds like a win, win for the state.

[reg45]

Ditto!

[KevinB]

NCAA has no business sticking their nose in States Rights.

NAA(L)CP: National Association of (Liberal) Colored People, not the NCAA.

[backwoods-engineer]

This is the shape of our present Cold Civil War.

[Allegra]

Vindictive busybodies.

Smart athletes will sign with the team that offers them the best deal.

We don’t need the stupid ones.

[lasereye]

restrict access to free and fair elections for Black and brown voters

The big lie technique is the left's favorite tactic.

[Jane Long]

Which Dem/leftist *leader* wrote this “call”, for the NAACP?

[Maris Crane]

I am sure Texas will survive.

God Bless that State.

[WASCWatch]

The lower property costs, significantly lower property taxes, no income tax or inheritance taxes, great medical care in Houston and Dallas pretty much outweighs some of the negatives.

[Allegra]

…pretty much outweighs some of the negatives.

Negatives? What negatives? 😏

[PTBAA]

What is the NAAWP’s position on this?

Oh wait...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The NAACP went to the MARXIST dark side when Rev. Benjamin Chavis, a Communist Party fronts stooge, took over in the 1970s or early 1980s. He later defected to Farrakhan’ NOI..

Other far left NAACP leaders included Rep. Mifume And the psychopathic white-hater, Ben Jealous.

[stormhill]

The NAACP was founded by WEB DuBois, an actual card-carrying member of the Communist party. At least in my lifetime it has never deviated from its Marxist roots.
Starting with the death of Booker T. Washington until the start of the New Deal, the Black vote went from reliably Republican to overwhelmingly Democrat; this correlates with the leftist takeover of the Civil Rights movement with the NAACP being a major contributor to the change.

"If you are considering signing in Texas, I ask you to ensure that owners are upholding their responsibility of protecting you, the athlete, and your family," the letter states.

Creepy! Why not just come right out and say, "We know where you live. We know where your children go to school."

"I ask you to use your influence to help protect the constitutional rights of each individual at risk."

...including the lives of the millions of unborn children who are murdered in the womb each year.

money is changing hands as we speak.....

[Machavelli]

BY it’s very name this is a totally racist organization. We are Americans, not white, black, red, yellow, etc.
