A new website sponsored by the NAACP and left-leaning media operations is seeking videographers and bloggers who will search out "racism" and "extremism" among Tea Partiers. Teapartytracker.org will feature tweets, interviews with people at rallies, blog entries and a picture of a t-shirt they say someone spotted at a rally that reads "Blacks own slaves in Mauitania, Sudan, Niger & Haiti." The site, sponsored by the NAACP, Think Progress, New Left Media and Media Matters for America, will monitor "racism and other forms of extremism within the Tea Party movement. We call on the Tea Party to repudiate extremists among...

As the controversy surrounding the video of former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod begins to dissipate with the revelation that her seemingly-racist statements, made at an NAACP banquet, were taken out-of-context, a new controversy is emerging involving the NAACP and the issue of racism. And it involves an organization that has been very prominent in the news lately – the New Black Panther Party. On May 3rd, in Atlanta, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) held its 2010 National Black Power Convention, which brought together an odd assortment of racists, black separatists, and mainstream figures from the worlds of politics and...

Breitbart’s argument is simple and straightforward: Regardless of what else is in Sherrod’s speech, the first video released on BigGovernment.com features Sherrod telling a tale of racism that is received by the NAACP audience with laughter and cheers. They weren’t cheering redemption; they were cheering discrimination. Upon hearing the cheers, Sherrod fails to offer any immediate clarification and even smiles right along with them. Breitbart’s main objective by releasing the video was to call out the NAACP, an organization who has recently gone to great lengths to condemn the Tea Party’s alleged racism, for sanctioning racism in it’s own organization....

Almost from the moment Barack Obama declared he would run for president in 2007, our enraptured media elite has been accusing anyone who would stand in Obama's way with racism. The question was never whether Obama was ready to govern the country, but whether the country was ready for the historic awesomeness of Obama. Pity the NAACP. We now have a black president, and they must convince (racist) America that there still exists the need for a national association to advance "colored people" in our society. How to do it? Identify and condemn as "racists" anyone or any group opposed...

A seismic shift in American politics has occurred over the past decade that has created a gap so wide and so bitter that America is a nation of growing polarization where issues once embraced by both sides are now being challenged. In the shift, the far right has embraced Israel as a means of separating itself from Democrats, causing many Americans to question what, until then, has been unquestioned loyalty. Although Israelis have always enjoyed support from both mainstream political parties, the extremists in America who are using support of Israel as a litmus test are forcing many to examine...

Click here to find out more! The NAACP’s intemperate denunciation of the Tea Party movement presents Barack Obama with a stunning and powerful opportunity; the fact that the president has so far refused to seize it reveals the sad limitations of his leadership. Outsourcing this task to Vice President Biden (who denied the racist charges and said the president agreed with him during a weekend interview on ABC News) hardly makes up for the presidential silence. However much mainstream media figures may admire the Veep, he lacks two crucial qualifications that Barack Obama would bring to any Tea Party defense:...

The NAACP approved a resolution recently condemning the Tea Party's fringe element of their movement for "explicitly racist behavior." It would require a flow chart the likes of which have not been seen since the days of health reform to explain all of the ways this is wrong. For starters, the mere act of criticizing a black president is not racist. Nor is it racist to raise the public consciousness to the very important issues of spiraling debt, misguided bailouts, and a series of social policies that may bankrupt the country. Our nation benefits from uninhibited discussion about these serious...

Breitbart reiterates the first video released on Breitbart.tv features Sherrod telling a racist tale that is received by the NAACP audience with laughter and cheers. The audience wasn’t cheering redemption; they were cheering discrimination. Breitbart clarifies he released the video to target not Sherrod, but the NAACP who had condemned the Tea Party's alleged racism. Though Sherrod became the scapegoat, it was the delight the NAACP audience took in the racist part of Sherrod's speech that was truly damning. Breitbart noted he’s agnostic to her firing. Later on the Breitbart.tv Publisher argued bogus racism charges flung at the Tea Party...

Another example of the NAACP's tolerance of racial and bigoted remarks.

I cannot believe this, that Shirley Sherrod, whom in a video that showed she "admitted" in the video that she discriminated against a farmer because he is white. This took place at a NAACP event, March of 2010. This video SHOWS THE NEED for the NAACP to PRACTICE what it preaches and and not become like folks who live in "glass houses" when it comes to the heated issue of "racism". This also includes to what happened back on November of 2008 when the New Black Panthers blocked the front entrance to the polling place in Philadelphia.

Sherrod, 62, insisted her statements in the video were not racist. "For Fox to take a spin on this like they have done, and know it’s not the truth … it’s very upsetting," she said. ............. The AJC is trying to recover the full video footage of Sherrod's speech to the Douglas NAACP. She said the circumstances made it absurd for her to have made any racist comment. "There were some white people there. The mayor (of Douglas) was there," Sherrod recalled. "Why would I do something racist if they were there?"

Despite all the attention given to last week's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's resolution against the Tea Party, all three broadcast evening news programs completely ignored Monday's revelations of racist comments made at one of the civil rights organization's meetings in March.
