NAACP Wants To Honor Kid Rock, Faces Boycott
WDIV ^ | March 3, 2011 | Staff

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wants to honor Kid Rock at its annual Freedom Fund dinner at Cobo Conference and Exhibition Center in Detroit.

The NAACP said it wants to recognize Rock for his commitment to Detroit.

However, not everyone agrees Kid Rock should be recognized by the NAACP.

"Kid Rock has made the Confederate flag a symbol at all his concerts," said Adolph Mongo of Detroiters for Progress. "It's been a problem since 2005."

Mongo said he and the rest of his group plan to protest the dinner if Kid Rock is honored because the flag is a symbol of hate, and the NAACP should not be honoring anyone who waves it proudly.

Mongo no like Kid Rock. This sounds like Blazing Saddles talk to me.

Love Kid Rock. Been to USO TOURS where he entertained the troops and everyone of his music videos either has the American flag or the Confederate flag in it. No biggie. The irony is that it’s an issue of “my hatred is bigger than your hatred organization’ LOL.

And if it wasn’t the flag they would find something else.

Their true ahem, colors, are showing.

They even hate themselves that’s what is at the root of all of it

“Detroiters for Progress”

Yeah, keep on with your hate and racist rhetoric against white people and see how much “progress” you are going to make.

And I’m thinkin’ they dislike the Stars and Stripes as much as the Confederate Flag.

Has anyone else noticed that all black athletes do not put their hand or their hat over their heart at the presentation of the colors or the singing/playing of our National Anthem?

I do believe this bunch hates States Rights.

You're right about that. Additionally, at their self-congratulating image awards show last night, the black celebs were sporting lapel ribbons symbolizing "solidarity" with the Wisconsin union thugs.

Let’s see who supports Kid Rock the most...the ones that don’t mind the CBF or the ones that support the NAALCP? Kid Rock needs to support those that pay his rent and tell the professional bigots to pound sand.

What useful tools they are. Any black celebs that are for freedom are abused if not part of this movement to destroy this country.

What’s even funnier about this is that Kid Rock is a single parent, who has been raising his *BI-RACIAL* son mostly on his own! Oy.

A white, conservative rap artist.

Try to get your head around that one.
