Remember when the NAACP was about insuring equal rights for people? These days its little more than a lobbying group for every skeevy famous (and sometimes not so famous) criminal who just happens to be black: Vick, Michael Jackson, OJ, R Kelly, that stripper who lied about getting raped at Duke, etc.
apparent example of the NAACP circling the wagons around someone just because they're black:
- Controversial minister Jeremiah Wright will speak at the Detroit branch of the NAACP 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund dinner. . . .
The Fight for Freedom dinner, which annually attracts about 10,000 people, will be held April 27 at Cobo Hall. The gathering is a key fund-raiser for the Detroit Branch NAACP, and is billed as the largest sit-down dinner in the country.
The NAACP needs to get it through their head: Wright is under attack not for the color of his skin, but for the content of his ideas. To defend him is to countenance those ideas.
Through its actions, the NAACP is in effect arguing that anti-Americanism is acceptable, so long as its source is black. The association is sanctioning both invidious ideas and an invidious racial double standard.
