The NAACP President Cornell William Brooks is calling on Donald Trump to apologize to Alabama Rep. John Lewis, after attacking the civil rights icon in a series of tweets.

“By disrespecting John Lewis, Donald Trump dishonored Lewis' sacrifice & demeaned Americans & the rights, he nearly died (for). Apologize,” Brooks tweeted.

NAACP better figure out, real quick, it’s time and way past time for them to sit down and shut up.

Racists waving race cards are no longer a force to be taken seriously or given any respect what-so-ever.

Do not apologize to this racist sob.

He owes you an apology and everyone who voted for you.

So, if John Lewis murdered someone, you can’t say bad things about his Job performance because he was part of the Civil Rights movement in the 60’s?

NAACP has ceased to be an entity that helps blacks.

It does the contrary.

NAACP is exactly a local and national voting block tool used by black political junkies to advance their careers and get goodies from local and national politicians and companies via blackmail. It is also used locally to get local minority contracts for government work via the same guilt and blackmail.

NAACP also is simply a status symbol for upper class blacks who are just as prejudiced against poorer members of their own race, namely, meaning bigotry of classicism. There are countless balls and awards banquets for “who is the most important, successful black person” , in every large city. You will not find anyone at these balls and banquets making under $75k/yr. Meanwhile, kickbacks, corruption, cronyism, and government programs led by the banquet attendees and award recipients keep the fatherlessness and b-on-b crime levels sky high.

I would like to see some blacks speak out on this and break ranks.

When you hear ‘Tom’ or ‘Uncle Tom’s or sellout...think of these turds who have stolen from their people, Americans, and simply work for the rich, white liberals in power. ‘Yes, massa!’ that is what these house slaves say.

Those black NAACP congressmen who protest Trump are a fine example of such refuse.

Re : Post #69 Shame on him, and the NAACP.* Both must apologize to the American People.* Agreed. Lewis is an unapologetic race-bating demagogue lining his pockets who actually cares less about his constituents that Trump does. NAACP President Cornell 'Buckwheat' William Brooks did not demand an apology. A fake headline, for fake news?

I suspect you are correct, BUT... Conway did indeed say that DT wants the whore to “heal.” “Heal,” NOT rot in prison. That is a VERY bad and weak thing to say.

As soon as Lewis apologizes to tea party protestors for fabricating the story about how they spat on him and called shouted racial insults at the Obamacare protest in 2011.

That guy is a lying race baiter. Sorry a bunch of democrats beat him up 50
years ago. That doesn’t give him the right to lie about law abiding, peaceful protestors today.

Trump was insulted and disrespected by Lewis. The President-Elect certainly did not attack Lewis any more than he attacked con man Kahn.

Go pound sand, NAACP, you phony race hustlers.

Good catch. I’m a little surprised it took until post 90 before someone pointed it out.

Lewis represents GA, not Alabama.

Hmmm. Reminds me of another politician. Wonder what the common denominator would be? Hmmmm.
