NAACP: Obsolete – for 30 years


What of merit has the NAACP accomplished in the last 10 years (and trying to present a person indicted in two states for child pornography with their image award doesn't count)? As a matter of fact, what signature accomplishment can they legitimately point to in the past 30 years?
The answer is: There is nothing they can point to. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964 thanks to conservative Republicans, and because of Republican president Richard Nixon race-based affirmative action was passed in 1968. The schools have been integrated, blacks head Fortune 100 companies, blacks own sports teams, blacks are represented in every elected position nationwide, blacks are small-business owners, and blacks suffer the same realities as other Americans, ad nauseum.
So, apart from serving as a bureau of agitprop, making an industry out of perceived complaint/invented complaint and serving as the dismal catacombs of the past striving for relevance today – what do they represent? What would be lost if they closed their doors and passed into history with dignity? What do we gain – what value does the NAACP's continued existence today contribute to its once-august history?
They are the personification of a human menhir of mendacious duplicity. And their latest attempt to brand the tea-party movement as racist and extreme proves my accusations.
The new report the NAACP is touting as proof of the tea-party movement's radicalism is rife with innuendo, hearsay and vacuous conjecture. The report, "Tea Party Nationalism," was created by the little-known fringe group – The Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, or IREHR.
NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said the report "exposes the links between certain tea-party factions and acknowledged racist hate groups in the United States." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=219765
