Oh gosh, I was having a fun Saturday night, alone, feeding my cats, and watching our society disintegrate from a safe distance, when what to my poor wondering eyes should appear, but another salvo of your naive, misinformed, sanctimonious blather.
I read your post, and I think there is a misunderstanding of what the NAACP does. You and I will have to agree to disagree.
However, count me in as someone who has no intentions of 'agreeing to disagree', with you, and as someone who actually does know what the NAACP is about.
The NAACP is the 'make white people feel terribly guilty over slavery' propaganda and legal arm of the civil rights movement. And quite a successful voice at that. The truth is, as long as the NAACP exists, black people will never achieve 'equality', because the NAACP will always be able to conjure up another fictitious inequality, to rub the white public's nose in. This is something it must do, to continue to justify its own existence.
As a prime example, in the days of slavery black people were referred to as, "expletive deleted'. So, that was dialed back to 'colored'. But then, people of color found that offensive, 'because it still reminded them of the antebellum south, and segregation'. So now, here we are in the age of Caucasian people being forced to refer to them as, 'African Americans'. Should a white person of any authority deviate from that protocol, he or she runs the risk of public humiliation, being branded a 'racist, and of a more substantial punishment, loss of career.
Yet, "the "N" word" spews ceaselessly out of every loudspeaker in the "ghetto", which if I may be so bold as to point out, you're paying for. Yet white people sit idly by to the racist tomes, all the while being too stupid to realize, it's not 'an innocent expression of culture', but rather a never ending mocking and indictment of days long past. If 'people of color' wanted 'true equality', they would censure their own kind, and delete that pejorative term from their own vocabulary as well.
Those groups do not go around bashing other people's heads in, they do not burn crosses on the lawns of white people, they do not show up brandishing arms at demonstrations.
Oh but they do, by extension. Police officers have been literally 'hunted', at, 'black lives matter events' . But organizations like the NAACP have been responsible for whipping the less stable, and more violent members of their group into the frenzy which caused the killings. Then they go into 'damage control mode', and throw those violent actors to the wolves, or if you prefer 'under the bus', the more contemporary colloquial term for, (as they say in Mission Impossible), "if any of you are caught or captured, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence".
They do, however, step in when the rights of people who have no other recourse have been infringed upon, and it is the infringement on those rights that is WRONG.
Yes, and they make damned certain they have a national audience when they do it. I tend to remember individuals like, "the reverend" Al Sharpton, who spew non stop hate in the name of racial equality, while hiding behind a cross. It's just that Sharpton never set that cross on fire, which seems to sanitize, (at least to your apparent satisfaction), his vitriolic, vengeful outbursts. You sadly, seem to have swallowed the hype and deceit, hook, line and sinker
There is a vast difference between groups like LULAC and NAACP. They operate within the bounds of law and remain civil.
Well, 'the pen is mightier than the sword' or so they say. While I say, 'sometimes fools read on, without knowing when to put down the book'.
The same cannot be said of hate groups that resort to terror and bullying to get what they want.
I covered that earlier.
As an example, the Saudis fund "Madras schools" which teach hate of the US and its values, yet they deny their existence when it comes time for the US to supply them with a couple dozen or so, F-16's.
So, now you know what, "Cranky is mad about today". Please feel free to post back if you'd like to hear more...
