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.

Mfume is under the mistaken impression that the NAACP stands for all blacks.
And the rats don't? This is a big problem with both parties and their various interest groups. They get to a point that they are taken for granted and the politicans do not feel they have to work for their support. They say the right things of course, but they do not walk the walk.

Perhaps Queasy should realize that his false and despicable James Byrd ads royally p.o.'d some people in the Bush camp.
Here's a tip for the race-pimp Mfume -- Bush wants the black vote, but he wants nothing to do with the NAA(L)CP. The two are not the same thing, and the sooner the black voters realize their own empowerment, the better.
Wow, off their rockers!
News like this, before I've had my coffee, gets me mfuming.
The NAACP is a KKK without hoods and whiteys.
I love the quote where someone said his parents named him while doing crack and playing scabble.
...." but not like we're a prostitute ".......
What an appropriate analogy, coming from the chief pimp of his race!
The NAACP wants to beat up on GWB, and he's supposed to come back for more abuse. THEY want him to be their whore.
Gee, accuse someone of hate crimes, of being like the Taliban, of wanting to re-enslave blacks and then be surprised he won't show up to your goat rodeo? Your as dumb as a post Kwiesisieiisiei.
Consideration for your ping list. Good morning.
Yes. Bush would like to have the Black vote. But he ain't gonna try to get it by kissing ass.
Sorry, but I just can't resist.
I think we all know they don't speak for all blacks. And for those few they do speak for, what are they complaining about?
Queasy and Jesse are the main pimps.
Don't you just love the way these people think they can call people racists and expect them to come kiss their butts?
I believe Dick Cheney has a standard response for them.
