Does the United States still need the NAACP?

During the chaos of the move, I read about the attack on the Tea Party by the NAACP.  My only thought is: Whisky Tango Foxtrot?! There is still a lot of black on black crime, there is still high unemployment in the same neighborhoods with the black on black crime and all the NAACP can do is attack Fiscal Conservatives?

Racism sucks.  Let's be blunt: If you only choose friends, business partners or customers by the pigment of their skin, go away.  And that includes those African-Americans who only support African Americans.  The knife strikes both ways, to deny it would be to blind (not color blind). 

Now, let me repeat what the Tea Partiers stand for: Fiscal Conservatism.  I've been to three Tea parties here in Los Angeles, and what did I see? People of different hues coming together to stand against an encroaching Government taking away their financial freedom. 

Are there bad apples? Of course. 

But should the Tea Partiers be defined by them? Hell, no.  Not unless Liberals want to play "Guilt by Association," And since July 3, 2009, we on the Right are ready to play the same game.

Now, what is the role of the NAACP?

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's mission statement is thus:

"The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.
"Vision Statement
"The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race."

Yet, when Michael Steele was attacked, where was the NAACP?
When Justice Thomas has been attacked, where was the NAACP?
How about Condi Rice or Colin Powell?
And most importantly, Kenneth Gladney?

The POTUS is part African American, thus the NAACP has broken through.  Does the NAACP  really need to exist anymore? 

If the NAACP is working hand in hand with the Democratic Party, they should lose their Tax exempt status. Period.  All a Republican majority House and Senate Oversight Committee has to do is look back during the 2008, 2004 and 2000 elections to see whether the NAACP deserves it's tax status.  Game, set, match.

The NAACP can still be smart, they can actually pick up the phone or email a Tea partier and ask what they stand for.  Or the NAACP can stand up for a Conservative African Americans. Or the NAACP can focus on ending black on black crime in high unemployment neighborhoods by opening the discussion to TWO political parties in those neighborhoods. 

Power is nor control over one party in America, it is the power to have your agenda addressed by BOTH parties. Why else do you think that banks and Israel are mentioned no matter whomever is in charge? People in both camps charging the discussion.

More ideas means more solutions to problems. Unless Chairman Jealous of the NAACP likes the status quo?

My question: Does the NAACP still need to exist? Why or why not? 

Van Jones, Henry Louis Gates and the End of a Fallacy

In the world of Vertigo Comics Fables, there is a character called Gary the Pathetic Fallacy who travels with Jack of Tales, helping to cause mischief and mayhem. In the real world, the resignation of Van Jones ends a fallacious tactic whose job is to stifle debate.

Every election is about a trade. Let's take 2004 and 2008:

In 2004, the re-election of President Bush was about the trade of: do what is necessary to stop any attacks on America (here or overseas). Hurricane Katrina exposed a blindness, but he still never attacked his domestic opponents afterwords.

In 2008, Americans elected President Obama to move the country forward on race relations. No more Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Sharpton attacking business' and people for (alleged) racism. No more if we oppose Liberal African American issues, the race card is played. Heck, in 2000, the NAACP made an ad against Governor Bush crying "racist," even after he executed actual ones to death.

Since 1/20/09, all Liberals and Democrats say is: Any opposition to President Obama is racist. Forgetting the last 8 years of fallacious arguments (If you do not click the link, don't complain about the Blow back now), the left expects the Right to continue to shut up and be called names.


After the way Governor Palin and President Bush were treated, we on the activist Right know we are next. Conor Friedersdorf (will never learn it) and Jon Henke (right now) has forgotten this. That is a future post.

When Senator Obama campaigned in 2007 and 2008, he gave speeches of a "Post-racial America," But then, have the Liberals and Democrats ever acted "post-racial," with Justice Thomas, Secretary Rice or Kenneth Gladney? NO.

When the Henry Louis Gates issue erupted, I noticed that one of Officer Crowley's jobs was to teach other Cambridge Police Officers not to stereotype criminals due to race. What did Professor Gates do? He stereotyped Officer Crowley. President Obama originally took Professor Gates' side.

Officer Crowley was living in Post-racial America, where did Professor Gates live? Liberals attack Conservatives and Republicans for opposing President Obama by calling them "racists," How does this help when it actually occurs in modern times?

Ta-Nahisi Coates writes for the Atlantic. Just like citizen of the crown, Andrew Sullivan. No support on his Blog against Kenneth Gladney's attack. No support of Justice Thomas, Secretary Rice or any African American who does toe the Liberal line. Instead, attack all on the Right with the cry of "Racist!"

Van Jones Hated President Bush. Van Jones hated Republicans and Conservatives. And because he was supported in these hates (along with an Ivy degree), this hate is allowed. Note how many in the media have Ivy degrees and Hate Bush, Conservatives and Republicans. See how much they get away with.


If the resignation of Van Jones can do one thing, it should end the fallacy of calling opposition to President Obama "Raaacists!" To quote Depeche Mode, People are people. There are stupid people. There are smart people. There are civil people. And there are Assholes. Van Jones did not look at Conservatives, Republicans or President Bush as "people," Ta-nahisi Coates and Henry Louis Gates follow the same route.

And read any poster or commenter at Think Progress, Washington Monthly, Daily Kos or Huffington post. Same thinking.

I want a post-racial America. Oppose each other on our views, not skin color, creed or religion. But the Left cannot get over their Hate.

Anyone look at crime rates vs. Business openings in Detroit, Compton and Anacostia? All Democratic Party run since the Flood.

My questions are these:

When has the Left ever been post-racial? Have you? Examples please.

And if you are on the Left, why do you always scream "Uncle Tom" to a Conservative or Republican African American? Should every African American think the same way on politics?
