Yep a racist organization just like the naacp, et al

5 plus decades or racial pandering has produced an avalanche of snowflakes

Will they ever grow up and get over themselves?

Highly doubtful

Well, maybe they can have a "safe space" conference with a "real journalist printing press."

The NALBJ does not like the liberal exchange of ideas.

They only believe in the exchange of liberal ideas.

Everybody shut up. The science is settled.

With this nonsense blacks just further remove themselves from the mainstream American culture (if that is even possible). They have their own TV channels, music, movies - on top of completely different expectations in terms of work ethic, educations standards, family models...

The media arm of the black klans is offended at having a non-klan member as a panelist. Imagine that.

Have a venue with limited entrance/exit, seat the likely departures far from the exit, then introduce the surprise audience.
