NAACP Hypocrisy: Target "Racist" Tea Parties

On July 13, at the 101st National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Convention, delegates voted on a resolution calling for “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”

What’s wrong with this picture?

Simple. It has become increasingly clear that instances of racism and civil rights violations are either forgiven or condemned based on political ideology.

For example, shocking evidence has surfaced that the Department of Justice played race politics in favor of the militant New Black Panther Party, whose members have violated civil rights by engaging in voter intimidation and calling for the murder of White Americans. Yet that behavior has yet to be repudiated by the NAACP.

Likewise, when black Tea Partier Kenneth Gladney was viciously beaten and called the "N" word by radical SEIU members last August, the St. Louis Chapter of the NAACP took the side of the assailants and labeled Gladney an “Uncle Tom” for espousing conservative ideologies.

“We call him a negro in the fact that he works not for our people but against our people. In the old days, they would call him an ‘Uncle Tom.’ ”

Dana Loesch, co-founder of the Tea Party movement, notes the double standard of the NAACP’s treatment of Gladney. “I thought the whole purpose of the NAACP was to represent the interests of the black community and what I see happening is people putting political ideology above civil rights.”

In fact, the Missouri NAACP has pressed for the St. Louis prosecutor to drop the charges against Gladney’s two attackers.

Now, the very same group is targeting the Tea Party movement for its alleged racism, despite the presence of overt racism and civil rights violations outside of the movement.

Since the inception of the Tea Party movement, the Left, with the assistance of the mainstream media, has done its best to convince the American public that the movement is comprised of violent racists.

Accusations that Tea Partiers shouted racial slurs at the Capitol on the day of the historic healthcare vote have been unfounded, despite thousands of witnesses and video cameras available to capture such a spectacle. In fact, Tea Partier Andrew Breitbart offered a $10,000 reward to any individual who could provide proof of such behavior, but no evidence has surfaced.

Erik Rush, author of Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal — America's Racial Obsession, addresses the “galling” hypocrisy of the NAACP’s allegations. “There is no racism in the tea party movement. And any condemnation or intimidation that there is by the NAACP or any other organization is simply part and parcel of their political imperative regarding the social balkanization of America. These assertions (pertaining to the Tea Party) are lies, and those proffering them know it.”

Rush adds, “It is also monumentally hypocritical for anyone whether it is the president, the NAACP, or the first lady to speak to race at all at this juncture, given this administration’s role in deepening racial tensions in America and its lack of evenhandedness in addressing issues concerning race.”

Rush is alluding to allegations made by former Justice Department official J. Christian Adams that the Justice Department exhibited hostility towards cases involving black assailants and white victims. Adams asserts that the DOJ’s decision to dismiss the voter intimidation charges against members of the New Black Panther Party as evidential of this claim.

Adams also accuses the NAACP of playing a monumental role in influencing the DOJ to dismiss the charges against the New Black Panthers, the same group which praised and applauded the work of Osama bin Laden.

Rush claims those who ignore overt racism and instead target innocuous groups like the Tea Parties are engaged in “negrophilia,” which he defines as “an undue and inordinate affinity for blacks” as well as the “reflexive demonization of whites as inherently wicked.”

Rush claims that negrophilia is a popular tool of the Left, meant to maintain racial division.

Rush was the first to expose President Obama’s associations with the radical revolutionary preacher Reverend Jeremiah Wright and has since been dubbed a “persistent hater” of Obama and his administration by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

However, Breitbart indicates that “the left has one trick that it will use again and again when its back is in the corner: shout ‘racist’ in a crowded country.”

Seemingly, this is the tactic being used against Rush and the Tea Party movement as a whole.

CAUGHT ON TAPE—- Racist NAACP Leader Says “Kenneth Gladney Not Black Enough” to Protect – He’s an “Uncle Tom” (Video)

Will NAACP repudiate their own racist comments about Kenneth Gladney, caught on tape? (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/will-naacp-repudiate-their-own-racist-comments-about-kenneth-gladney-98315729.html)


YouTube - NAACPPressConference.mov (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-F2khQudUo&feature=player_embedded)


There has been one confirmed incident of racial slurs and violence at a Tea Party event. It came last year in St. Louis, during the town-hall craze, when black Tea Partier Kenneth Gladney was assaulted on camera by people wearing purple SEIU t-shirts and shouting the n-word.

Missouri’s NAACP held a press conference two months ago to address this incident once again, in hopes of protecting the attackers from prosecution. Zaki Baruti, speaking at their event before their mic (their bullhorn, actually) from a podium marked NAACP, called Gladney an “Uncle Tom” and a “Negro.” He denounced the victim for working against “our people.”

Gladney apparently holds a point of view that is not acceptable for black people, and therefore he deserved what he got. That’s what the NAACP event’s host said, anyway.

Transcript:


Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.

Do you suppose the NAACP is going to repudiate racism at its events and among its members?

This is a case of "If I say it enough times, it'll be true!"

The NAACP and White House are trying to write history that hasn't even happened or will happen. It's quite insidious. Another reason why government has to be limited - propaganda.

Collectivist organization trying to paint others as collectivist.

The root of race bating is greed. These guys perfected playing the race card posing as victim. You can't deny it worked for them so far. NAACP, SPLC, and others are just copycats.

The sad irony is Gladney was beat up by a white and black group of union thugs. A "rainbow coalition" of statist hate.

That's about all these Unions amount to.
I live near Spring Hill, Tn where the Saturn plant is located and I've noticed that almost all of those guys are big, muscular types. Probably spending a lot of time in the weight room is something encouraged by the Union leaders. They also seem to have a rude disposition.

Tea Party Preempts 'Racist' Resolution, Condemns 'Bigoted' NAACP (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/13/tea-party-preempts-racist-resolution-condemns-bigoted-naacp/)

...

A Tea Party group in Missouri, reacting to the NAACP's plan to take up a resolution branding the conservative movement as "racist," has drafted a resolution of its own condemning the civil rights group for reducing itself to a "bigoted" and "partisan attack dog organization."

The St. Louis Tea Party had an all-hands-on-deck response to the NAACP's plan to denounce the nationwide network of activists at its annual convention across the state in Kansas City. The NAACP as early as Tuesday could take up language to "repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties" and stand against the movement's attempt to "push our country back to the pre-civil rights era."

In a matter of hours, the St. Louis group drafted and fired off to the NAACP a resolution demanding the organization withdraw its "bigoted, false and inflammatory" statement. The missive accused the NAACP of resorting to political tactics and urged the IRS to reconsider whether it can continue to qualify for tax-exempt status.

Tea Party organizers routinely defend themselves against charges of racism, disavowing racially charged signs that appear in their protest crowds and provide fodder for Tea Party critics. The NAACP resolution, first reported by the Kansas City Star, was expected to make reference to an incident in March when Tea Party protesters allegedly hurled racial epithets at black lawmakers on Capitol Hill ahead of a health care vote. Tea Party members afterward challenged that account and no evidence was produced to show any racist attacks.

I must admit, I didn’t think the NAACP could top the whole Hallmark-card-is-racist (http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7475737) fiasco, but never underestimate the power of stupidity. One thing progressives are very good at is using black people and they’ve found some that are willing enough dupes to help facilitate their plan.



The NAACP is expected to approve a resolution at its annual convention condemning the tea party movement for harboring “racist elements that are a threat to our democracy,” a spokeswoman for the civil rights organization said Monday.


Like the ignoramuses in Los Angeles who lost their collective minds over racist mispronunciations of black ‘holes’ versus the ‘whores’ they wanted to hear, the national NAACP believes the Tea Party is racist simply because the Barack Obama they oppose is black; not because they oppose the out-of-control fiscal policies of the second black president and his arrogant party leadership.

While I don’t recall seeing any reports from NAACP members who personally witnessed hearing racist verbiage and/or signs, they are following the White House talking points (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/06/21/mika-admits-im-working-white-house-oil-spill-talking-points) that the nearly all-white Tea Party is hostile to President Obama purely because of his race. I mention the personal attendance of the NAACP at Tea Parties because I’ve been to both the 9/12 march on D.C. as well as the health care reform rally on Capitol Hill and the only physical assaults I suffered at the hands of rabid, angry white Teabaggers were hugs from people who read my website (http://www.black-and-right.com/).

I declined to press charges.

Whether you buy into the Glenn Beck warnings of radicals seeking revolution to implement social justice or not, my question is this to the scholarly NAACP: what are you going to get out of this?

Barack and Michelle Obama will be taken care off long after he leaves office, but should the NAACP deliberately side with the New Black Panthers and vilify whitey, just what will the black community gain? Better welfare?

Despite years of servitude to the Democrat Party, what do blacks have to show for their time, effort, and votes? Democrats control the economy in the black community. Democrats control education, and their politicians send their kids to private schools. Democrats have done little to earn the loyal support of blacks and the NAACP, yet they are now willing to suck up to the radicals in the administration… for what?

(Oh, and for the geniuses in the New Black Panther Party who bitch about the cracka’ po-lice invading their neighborhoods, I have one small suggestion. The po-lice go where crime is. If people behave themselves, the po-lice go elsewhere. It works every time.)

In any socialist government structure, there are the elites allowed that status by the cronies. Just where do the idiots in the NAACP expect to be in the grand scheme of things?

While strategically calling the Tea Party racist, the administration has found an ignorant echo chamber of sellouts in the NAACP. They assume racism lives within the Tea Party because the sheepish media says so. And since they don’t appear to have reading down, they probably haven’t seen the stories of Crash The Tea Party, a failed group of liberals who sought to “infiltrate and dismantle (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9F1PU2O0&show_article=1)” the Tea Party by mixing in, making loud and crazy statements, and displaying racist signs that could be photographed and/or videotaped to smear them.

I’m sorry, but do liberals who use racial taunts to deliberately brand an opponent sound respectful of black people? Obviously not, then again as the NAACP routinely employs the same tactic, it’s easy to conclude they don’t care much about black people either; just the attention they personally receive and the fundraising it drives.

The NAACP can call the Tea Party racist all it wants, and they will because good little boys and girls do what they’re told. But when the Obama nightmare is over, the NAACP will have nowhere to go. They’ll have placed all their chips on one last race card and will have lost it all. They will be broke and no one will take a minute to hear what they say.

Only a dummy would stick his or her neck out for people who have always offered nothing in return for that effort. The stupid in the NAACP are sticking their necks out for progressives who are probably laughing in the back rooms about how easy this is… again.

It's true, its the butt of jokes now. We have a freakin' black President.

But, mostly it's the old guard. The Farrakhans, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, NAACP, etc. Their livelihoods are threatened by a "post-racial" sentiment in American. Their entire industry depends or the race card and racial victimization. That's why Jesse Jackson was mad at Obama during the election. They love the Tea Party because it gives them something to talk about, no matter how contrived it is. I notice even a lot of the younger black "progressives" have moved away from the old "black leaders" and their "blame it on the white man" rhetoric ......it's redundant and boring..and doesn't solve anything.

[Stary Hickory]

This just in: NAACP claims Tea Partiers are racist because most of them are white!

[coastie]

People aren't as intimidated by the race card as they once were. Many people have actually become immune due to it's overuse.

Yeah, myself and several friends joke around all the time when one of our other friends comes out with us, that he's our TBG for the night"token black guy". Does he give a shit, no, and why should he?

I was, however, called a racist by a black man the other day for wearing an anti-obama shirt that was in no way racist...His face was priceless when 2 black men, 3 white men and a Thai-American(my friends) came to see "what the problem was"...altogether no less. The horror!

[RM918]

Let them keep abusing the race card so it'll be meaningless sooner than later. I can't wait to see the day we finally get past that overblown sack of shit so people will actually be free to communicate again without some irrational fear of being labeled. Maybe, then, people of different cultures will finally be able to interact peaceably without having that constantly-reminded wedge driven between them.

[MelissaWV]

Racists are going to be racist. The NAACP's entire purpose is to sit around and point out who they think is racist and get others to help, then to take all this and run with it through the courts and legislatures. If the last part weren't such a threat to everyone, the first part would make them laughable.

They can, of course, be hypocrites while doing this because if you point out the NAACP's racism, you are in fact a racist. :D

Black activists condemn NAACP resolution against tea party movement

"Washington, DC – as the NAACP plans to use their group's prestige to bash the tea party movement, members of the Project 21 black leadership network are urging delegates at the NAACP's national convention not to turn the NAACP into a pawn for progressive political bosses."
...
"Progressives have hijacked the NAACP to the extent that the group stands silent as conservative blacks suffer indignities for their beliefs. Some NAACP even egg on this appalling behavior – providing political cover and lapdog services for these elitists,"
...
"If a few random signs of President Obama looking like the Joker is indeed racist, then where was the NAACP when conservative blacks are depicted as lawn jockeys, Oreos and Uncle Toms?"

NAACP Is Not At All Serious: They've Missed the Real Issues (http://biggovernment.com/awest/2010/07/13/naacp-has-missed-the-real-issues/)

by LTC Allen West (USA, Ret.) | Big Government


The NAACP has missed the target. Their target should not be the Tea Party, but instead the larger issues facing the Black community: astronomical unemployment rates (15.5%) and the breakdown of the Black family, which result in higher drop-out rates, disproportionate incarceration rates and teen pregnancy rates (12.6%). These issues should be the focus of increased scrutiny by the NAACP.

This NAACP Resolution is consistent with the Obama administration tactic of demonizing and blaming someone else for your own failures and shortcomings, and not take responsibility and accountability.

I Condemn the NAACP: It Needs to Wake Up! (http://biggovernment.com/emcclendon/2010/07/14/i-condemn-the-naacp-it-needs-to-wake-up/)

Emery McClendon | Big Government

I condemn the NAACP. I am really upset over their recent charge that the tea party movement is racist. When will these people wake up?

What is the basis of their allegations? Speaking from experience, I will say that the claims they seem to be relying upon are false. The NAACP has once again been duped by the left.

I organized a tea party rally in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have also travelled around the State of Indiana speaking at similar events. I have attended events and rallies with other conservative groups in Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC and elsewhere. I can say that these events were open to anyone that wished to attend. I was even recently awarded a plaque by a tea party group in Madison County, Indiana. Is this racism?

Wake up, NAACP!

You have once again shown that you do not do your homework on the issues, and you are being used to discredit a movement that only wishes to preserve our founding principles and the Constitution. These are principles of freedom that apply to all Americans.

Changing someone's mind is harder than people think. It happens, rarely, but most times what will happen by saying "it is now illegal to discriminate!" is that those who already have those thoughts, will simply not express them in the open. They're still racist, they're simply no longer saying racist things in "polite" company. Nothing much has changed.
