NAACP: Obama Energized 'Taliban Wing' of GOP
In a speech Wednesday, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond called on defenders of civil rights to support the country's first black president as he faces what is expected to be tough second year in office.
Bond's remarks at Radford University's fourth annual celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday came a day after the Democratic Party lost the late Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat to Republican Scott Brown, and with it, the party's filibuster-proof majority.
The election puts Obama's health care overhaul in jeopardy and has caused speculation that public opinion may be turning against the president.
While "black faces in high places" give reason for hope, Bond, the 70-year-old founder of the storied Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, argued that "racism is alive and well for every nonwhite American, including the president.

Another progressive demagogue. People like Bond don’t want to get it straight, it’s political policies we’re against, not the President’s skin color. Bond doesn’t have arguments, just accusations.
The only way you can avoid an accusation from Julian Bond is to do exactly what he says.
Julian Bond, commie pig racist, plays the race card....AGAIN... by liberal-socialist-fascist-commie pigs for about the 10 millionth time. GTH Julian. The real racists here are liberals of any color, race, ethnic, or creed!!!
Well, I’d run for office if I didn’t have so many skeletons in my closet.

[ title slide: "Black Perspective" ]
Garrett Morris: Good evening, and welcome to "Black Perspective". I'm your host, Garrett Morris. Tonight our guest is Mr. Julian Bond, and we'll be talking about the myths surrounding black I.Q. Specifically, the myth that whites are inherently more intelligent than blacks.
Julian Bond: Good evening, Garrett.
Garrett Morris: Now, Julian, perhaps you could explain something to me. In all these studies comparing black I.Q. to white I.Q., what kind of test is used to measure I.Q.'s in the first place?
Julian Bond: Well, this is the major problem with these studies. The measurements of I.Q. which form the basis of comparison come from tests composed by whites for whites. The tests are culturally biased; it's not surprising that whites would score better than blacks.
Garrett Morris: Could you give us an example of what you're talking about?
Julian Bond: Certainly. Here are some questions that have appeared on recent I.Q. tests. Number one: "You have been invited over for cocktails by the officer of your trust fund. Cocktails begin at 4:30, but you must make an appearance at a 6:00 formal dinner at the Yacht Club. What do you do about dress?
A. Wear your blue-striped seersucker suit to cocktails and change into your tuxedo in the bathroom, apologizing to your host for the inconvenience.
B. Wear your tuxedo to cocktails, apologizing to your host for wearing a dinner jacket before 6:00 PM. C. Walk to the subway at Columbus Circle and take the "A" Train uptown."
Garrett Morris: Uh.. I guess I'd choose the last one.
Julian Bond: I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
Garrett Morris: Damn.
Julian Bond: Here's another: "When waxing your skis for a cross-country run, you should..."
Garrett Morris: [ interrupting ] Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We've only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?
Julian Bond: That's an interesting point. My theory is that it's based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: [ not sure he heard that right ] Say what?
Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: I don't get it.
Julian Bond: It's got nothing to do with having white blood. It's just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.
Garrett Morris: This is the first time I've heard of it.
Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.
Garrett Morris: Well, I still don't quite understand. We're out of time right now, but perhaps you could come back on the show again and explain it further.
Julian Bond: There's very little to explain - it's just like I told you.
Garrett Morris: Well, we are out of time. Good night. [ to Julian ] If you could repeat it just once more...
So true. The only ones I suppose pay any attention at all to them are those few who still think of themselves as "Colored People".
So racism can’t exist unless it’s white on black? What an ass this Julian Bond is.
Same here, but anyone worth knowing does....
I only SAY I'm boring.
Hey Bond...looks like the “most racist black person” is trying to energize the naapc into espousing more racism.
Bond is and always has been a black racist ass.
Julian:
I don’t hate you because you’re black, but make no mistake, I hate you.
Now, go get me some coffee....just kidding...I hate coffee...
Mav...
Julian Bond does not live in 2010.
Not necessarily.
Lot of folks make a lot of money off the race deal.
NAACP is one of many groups doing so.
They stop racism they are out of a job. Sooo they play up the race differences as much as possible.
;-) wink, wink

Wasn’t Garrett on SNL? Was “Black Perspectives” an SNL sketch or something? Amazing he said that, whether it’s parody or not.
As Ann Coulter might say, the only time liberals admit the terrorists are evil is when they’re likening Republicans to terrorists.
Not really. If the next minority candidate were to be a freedom-loving, America-supporting conservative, he would have a pretty good chance. That could be what truly unites the two parties, in fact.
he would have a pretty good chance.

A friend in the garment trade once told me, “You can’t sell a woman two new ideas in a dress. A dress can only have one new idea.” Same principle. We are foolish if we try both at once.
