WILMINGTON - In what has gotten to be a yearly event the NAACP leadership has taken a swipe at President Bush.
NAACP President Kweisi Mfume is saying that President Bush is treating the Black community like prostitutes by claiming to want the Black vote while snubbing the NAACP's annual convention for four consecutive years.
"We're not fools," said Mfume. "If you are going to court us, court us in the daytime, but not like we're a prostitute where you run around at night of behind closed doors and want to deal with us but not deal with us in the light of day."
Why won't he come?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that in 2001 NAACP Chairman Julian Bond likened the Bush administration to the "Taliban". In 2002 Bond characterized Bush's civil rights policies as "snake oil". And last year, after Bush proposed to Congress and secured the largest relief dollars ever for the continent of Africa, and gave a moving and important speech repenting for America's great sin of slavery, Bond referred to the trip as an "exotic photo-op".
Mfume is now insisting that he be given a prominent speaking role in both political conventions.

The Demonrats will continue to get the OJ jury vote. It's quality vs. quantity in Republicans vs. Demonrats with the 'black vote'. The Republicans have quality in Rice, Powell, Watts and all the Demonrats have to offer up is hate and absurdity that is represented with this sham organization that are nothing but prostitutes for the Demonrat party attempting to sell their sleaze.
Look, if you're gonna start throwing facts around, we're never going to get anywhere with this...
Note to Queezy: then it's time to quit whoring yourself to the DNC.
M-fumes, that has already been established; we're just negotiating price!
Pray for W and Our Awesome Troops
Let's see who "gives" first, the DNC or the RNC......LOL.
The Dems treat Blacks like anti-bellum field hands.
Actually, I think he would be accused of pandering. It's a catch 22. I'm glad he played it on his own terms.
Is that bad? I mean, how does he treat prostitues? Or are they complaining because he treats blacks like prostitutes treat blacks?? ;-)
Maybe Dick Cheney will agree to speak for Americans everywhere and address them. Shortest convention address on record - two words.
But .. the black church Bush last attended .. and gave a great speech .. the minister was 100% supportive of the President.
So we know .. this is just more liberal whining.
As Rejoyce would say, "They're pimps on the Democrat plantation."
As a Christian conservative, I can certainly relate to that!
