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.

Lots of southern descent families in southeastern Michigan from the days of WWII. In fact a linguist I met a few years back said she could pinpoint where I was from due to the distinct accent of the area. He said its got a southern edge to it. I never noticed it but when I lived up north, people often assumed I was from south of the Mason Dixon line but I’ve never lived south of the Toledo line.

Kid Rock use to DJ my high school dances. I never thought he would be so famous.

“flag is a symbol of hate,”

It is as much as the name Adolf.

there are black folks down here who have flown the confederate battle flag.

Seems most liberals and blacks from up north have a problem with it

I’m sure it hurts the left know the truth but hey it’s still fun to point out facts to them and then for them to squirm and look confused.
