It's Groundhog Day again! NAACP declares war on Confederate Flag
Blacks are suffering from the mortgage meltdown worse than whites, and with most black-owned wealth in home equity, that's a crisis.
Blacks are targeted by Latino gangs, which, thanks to DC's de facto Open Borders policy, are mushrooming out of control in urban areas, which now look more like war zones.
And black-on-black crime spreads terror and snuffs out lives, while making blacks, who are 12% of the total population, nearly 50% of the jail population.
So how does the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respond to these terrible problems?
This way:
The national NAACP has again said it will step up a campaign against South Carolina for flying the Confederate flag at the State House.
The organization declared it would exert continued pressure to discourage NCAA sporting events and film production in South Carolina.“This is unfinished business,” said Lonnie Randolph, state NAACP president, echoing the message delivered Monday by NAACP interim president and CEO Dennis Hayes, at the organization’s 99th national convention in Cincinnati.
Is it possible the NAACP is replaying its own version of Pickett's Charge against the Battleflag because it has a chance of winning this time? That's the only possible justification for renewing its attack -- but here's what the NAACP-friendly State newspaper says about that possibility:
Meanwhile, the Legislature has shown little interest in dealing with the flag issue again, and “people of goodwill” seem satisfied with the compromise that removed the banner from the capitol dome, said state Sen. John Courson, R-Richland, who drafted the 1994 legislation used to move the flag.
“We have had no discussion — none, zilch — of the Confederate in the Senate since 2000,” Courson said. “All the Southern states, if you look at their flags, have some version of the Confederate flag, or the flag used in battle, incorporated into the flags they fly (at their State Houses),” said Courson.
“I don’t know why the NAACP continues to pick on South Carolina.”
No one else seems to know why either. And to think that some people see the NAACP as irrelevant today. Where'd they get that idea?
That is, other than from the hopelessly befuddled and out-of-touch NAACP leadership?

It is an old game. Ignore social pathologies which result in poverty and social decay. Then blame someone else for the problems.
Thus do the client class (those who the NAACP claims to represent) redirect their anger elsewhere and the client class evades self examination and criticism. And the antagonists are rewarded with leadership. The NAACP benefits twice. The rewards of 'virtue' without suffering and social prominence.
What is it that Cicero said? "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear." Black people have no worse enemy than the NAACP. No man has a better friend than a honest but discreet critic.
haroldc,
Thanks for the great quote.
And of course, it's all too appropriate to the times we're in. The sad truth is that treason is profitabl -- it pays off in political power and the handing out of cushy jobs -- at least, for a while.
The 'Black klan' has been, a for about ten years, a mean-spirited, hateful organisation, and has been getting worse. They probably blame us for their slide into irrelevancy and are simply lashing out.
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ----Booker T Washington
Attention NAACP - YOU are stabbing your own black people in the back with your hate-filled anti-Confederate actions! Learn the TRUE history! You are making ignorant fools of yourselves you are so obviously UNeducated!WE Southrons are proud of our Black Confederate heroes of the war! The Confederate Flags belong to the blacks as much as they do to the whites! Black Confederates proudly fought under the Confederate flags! Stop dishonoring our Black Confederate heros! THAT is what is hate! The NAACP is a Yankee hate group and needs to be disbanned! They tear down the black people, not build them up! Our CSA Flags stand for honor and against tyranny, and the NAACP knows nothing about honor and they ARE tyranny! OUR CSA Nation = OUR CSA Flags ! Like or or leave!
The NAACP membership must be on the decline. They must have a cause to justify their existence, recruit new members and to raise money and the Confederate Flag is it. No matter what we do, the NAACP will always complain about something. We could remove every Confederate flag and monument from the Southern landscape and they would still complain about something. They will never be satisfied, so don't even try. I believe, given the way they have been behaving, that the orginization will soon be on the decline. The public is tired of their whining.
