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.

Oh yeah.
But the Dems don't LIKE the blacks President Bush places in leadership positions. These souls have left the liberal plantation and are considered turncoats! Who cares that they serve as FABULOUS MODELS for Black people everywhere?
How DARE these educated, responsible Black people President Bush has recognized and employed refuse to live in the squalor the dems deem appropriate for blacks! How dare they publically support conservatism and think for themselves!!!!
How dare any black person turn his or her back on the DNC credo for blacks..."Stay stupid, stay poor, stay angry, stay out of the mainstream and we will take care of you!" (Which they don't, of course, because once a black person becomes educated and realizes his or her deep value in America, they leave the DNC in the dust.
Only those blacks who PROFIT personally (MFume, Jesse Jackson, etc.) from keeping their fellow black folks down have positions of high authority in the DNC.
The DNC elites, know more than anyone else how important it is to keep the blacks separate, dumbed down and dependent. They are, after all, their VOTING BLOCK!!
How will they EVER get the blacks to believe their smoozing lies if they are educated? (Thus NO VOUCHERS, just platitudes- the everlasting MO of the DNC) and poverty pimps.
Quality of character is a non-issue for the DNC when it comes to blacks...it is the WORST characteristic the DNC faces when considering its liberal plantation slaves for promotion. Independent, THINKING Blacks, full of good character are to be avoided at all costs-they might bring accountability to the table
Martin Luther King would be a republican today. The DNC only sees skin color and a voting block. So it has to TRASH the Black people who stand up and say NO MORE!
"Kweisi Mfume"
Hey, this guy still owes me 10 million for getting his assets out of Nigeria.
Good post.
I guess it hasn't occurred to Queasy that the black voters who respect and follow the leadership of the NAACP are the very black voters who won't vote for Bush no matter what he does. Bush is going after those black voters who aren't taken in by the race pimps.
Yeah, that's only fair. I think the GOP should also give stage time to the ACLU, Abe Foxman, Michael Moore, Tom Daschle and Lyndon LaRouche.
No, Queasy, it is the Democrats who have been treating black people this way for years; talking nice to them, but mistreating them, and expecting their vote, anyway! President Bush has talked to your group before. He knows you don't represent most black people, so why should he waste his valuable time coming back to speak to a group that does nothing but bash him continually?
Come and help energize the Democrat party!! You will hear Julian and Kweisi sing Democrat favorites such as:
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Old Man River
I'm so glad trouble don't last always
Mos (almost) done toiling here
And that fan favorite:
Nobody know de trouble I've had
By your tickets NOW at the special fund raising price of only $400!!! (white people $800)
If Bush is treating Blacks like prostitutes, he sure isn't getting his money's worth.
George Bush elects more black people to office and stays faithful to his wife, but America's first black president can go whoring on the other side of the tracks and remains untouchable.
Let the demagoguery begin.
People like Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee and John Conyers NEED their distrcits to remain impoverished war-zones full of unmotivated and illiterate people. They need them so they can get re-elected and have "issues" with which to flog the opposition. If the people in their districts became educated and motivated, then they wouldn't be so easy to fool. They'd get jobs, open businesses, and move out of the ghettos.
I have yet to hear Kwaisi Mfume dress down Ted Rall for calling Condie Rice a well-known word. But he gets offended when the President declines to address his organization. Goes to show perceived slights to black people are slights only when they directed against liberal blacks. If conservative blacks are dehumanized, that's a non-issue.
Nobody is courting you. That's the problem with you whores, everytime somebody treats you with respect you think they're trying to get in your pants.
Three words: Bobby Ann Williams
The President is wise not to attend the NAACP Convention.
Votes will not come from these folks but from middle class
blacks.
"The NAACP is a KKK without hoods and whiteys."
My ex was very involved in civil rights issues and did some volunteer work for the NAACP.
After about three months of it she quit.
Her reason?
She stated they were the most racist people she had ever met!
