Strong Reactions To NAACP Attack On Tea Parties
Strongly worded condemnations of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) calling the Tea Party movement "racist"...
ABC News: that "First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement." ABC also notes that the NAACP, "in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 2 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party."
Two of the responses appear in full below. One is from Isaac Hayes, a Republican and Black American who is running against Jesse Jackson, Jr. for Congress in Illinois. The other is from the Rockford Tea Party. Not only is the NAACP's attack unwarranted, it is completely hypocritical. The NAACP attacked the Tea Parties on the basis of false and entirely racist premises and - no doubt - at the request of their true masters, the Democrat Party.
The NAACP's condemnation of the Tea Parties (note that it's plural; there is not a single "Tea Party") has been coordinated with the Obama Regime. While Comrade Obama promised us a "post racial America," he and those around him have done everything they could to widen the existing divisions between White and Non-White Americans.
The NAACP's condemnation of the Tea Parties is hypocritical, and is proven so by their lack of condemnation of outrageously racist statements by the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), one of which called for the killing of "crackers" and "cracker babies." The liberal and hypocritical Mainstream Media, of course, is not reporting that story. Listen to the Malik Zulu Shabazz, head of the NBPP try to spin away the seriousness of a NBPP member's call to "kill some crackers." Shabazz calls himself a Muslim, and in 2002 he praised Osama bin Laden (after the World Trade Centers were destroyed).
There are many other examples like these, including one in which author, vegan and paranoid racist psychopath Kamau Kambon called for the extermination of White people in a speech on C-SPAN (the real weirdness starts at 2:32 in that video; he talks about "how we are going to exterminate White people" at 8:30 into the video). Where was the outrage by Black "leaders" and "civil rights groups" over these over-the-top racist screeds? Meanwhile, the Obama Regime's Department of "Justice" is shielding the extremist NBPP.
Is this just right-wing spin? Is National Geographic right-wing? They describe the NBPP this way: "The New Black Panther Party advocates black nationalism and anti-Americanism." Watch their shocking video about the NBPP here.
The reactions from Tea Parties to the NAACP across the nation was almost instant and predictable: Counter condemnation. One of the more powerful reactions came from the St. Louis Tea Party, which published a resolution of their own condemning the NAACP. (See the equally powerful resolution from the Rockford Tea Party, below.)
Deneen Borelli is a Black woman and contributor to BigGovernment.com. She wrote a very short but powerful retort to the NAACP that is titled "I Condemn the NAACP: The New Black Panther Party Are the Real Racists." Borelli wrote, "I condemn the NAACP. Instead of criticizing tea parties, the NAACP would be better served denouncing the racist comments made by a member of the New Black Panther Party and its voter intimidation outside a Philadelphia polling place in the last presidential election. As a frequent speaker at tea party rallies around the country, I can assure the NAACP that the tea party movement’s concerns are about President Obama’s policies and not his race."
GOP'S ISAAC HAYES CONDEMNS NAACP:
CHICAGO: Republican nominee for Illinois 2ndCongressional District Isaac Hayes released the following statement regarding the NAACP's vote to condemn the Tea Party movement.
"Today’s vote by the NAACP to condemn the Tea Party movement highlights its ignorance of the history of the Tea Party movement and reminds us it has not changed its tactics in 100 years. A quick survey of American history will reveal the first American to shed blood in the American Revolution was both a Tea Partier and Black by the name of Crispus Attucks.
"Black Conservatives are no stranger to the race-based machinations of the NAACP. It was the organization's founder W.E.B. Du Bois who castigated Booker T. Washington as a sell-out because he argued for self-empowerment. Yet, Mr. Du Bois joined forces with Margaret Sanger who would later found Planned Parenthood, an organization responsible for the deaths of over 15 million African American babies.
"Instead of wasting its time trying to curtail the exercise of liberty, the NAACP concerns would be better directed toward the gang violence and illiteracy that plagues Minority communities across this country. Therefore, I condemn the NAACP for its perpetuation of racial division and hate."
Hayes's statement also appears on the Citizens for Isaac Hayes website.
FROM THE ROCKFORD TEA PARTY:
RockfordTeaParty Joins with the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition who created this Resolution in Condemning the NAACP
Rockford Tea Party Resolution
July 14, 2010
Whereas, the National Coalition for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded to advance the position of minority groups, and
Whereas a hallmark of the NAACP has been to do the important work of identifying and exposing remaining vestiges of racism and discrimination, and
Whereas the NAACP vocally stands against the discriminatory and harmful practice of labeling people with a broad brush, and
Whereas the NAACP decided to launch their 101st National Convention with a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement and labeling millions of their fellow Americans who subscribe to the movement as "racists", and
Whereas the "Tea Party movement" is a label applied to patriotic Americans who have expressed their political free speech in the grand tradition of all that is American, that being the spirited expression of viewpoints in a 100% peaceful manner, and
Whereas, it is a hallmark of America that we settle our disputes civilly and avoid the gutter tactic of attempting to silence opponents by inflammatory name-calling, and
Whereas the very term "racist" has diminished meaning due to its overuse by political partisans including members of the NAACP, and
Whereas, the NAACP had an opportunity to preserve some semblance of legitimacy by standing up for Ken Gladney, the victim of a vicious racist battery conducted by a black avowed communist, even labeling him an "Uncle Tom", but chose instead to use the opportunity to mock the St. Louis Tea Party, and
Whereas, the NAACP has refused to denounce the New Black Panther's call to murder white cops and their babies, and
Whereas, the NAACP does its entire membership a grave disservice by hypocritically engaging in the very conduct it purports to oppose,
Now therefore be it resolved that the Rockford Tea Party joins the St. Louis Tea Party to condemn the NAACP for lowering itself to the dishonorable position of a partisan political attack dog organization, and,
Be it further resolved that the RockfordTeaParty joins the St. Louis Tea Party calling on similar organizations to join in unanimous condemnation of this despicable behavior, and
Be it further resolved that we demand that the NAACP withdrawal their bigoted, false and inflammatory resolution against the tea party for any further consideration, and
Be it further resolved that these organizations call on the Internal Revenue Service to evenly apply their standards and consider the tax-exempt status of the NAACP considering the degree to which they are engaging in habitual partisan political behavior.
Adopted unanimously, this day, July 12th, in the year of our Lord, 2010.
A copy of this resolution shall be sent immediately to the NAACP at: washingtonbureau@naacpnet.org
