NAACP: I wonder how long it will be before the NAACP repudiates its own racist elements? In the most cynical way the NAACP is the big winner in their race-baiting conference. The organization has become irrelevant, but here we are, still talking about the group after two weeks. The biggest winner is Andrew Breitbart. Mr. Breitbart continues to break news and drive liberals crazy (not that it’s difficult). BTW… Has anyone come up with incriminating evidence from the D.C. protest that proves Tea Partiers shouted racial epithets at black congressmen? Andrew Breitbart’s $10,000 reward still stands. It seems odd that in the era of the cell phone camera and the iPhone that no one can produce even a shred of evidence supporting racism at a Tea Party. Maybe that’s because there is no such evidence because it only exists in the fever swamps of the left? We flush and you make the call!
U.S. Manufacturing: I know there’s a lot of doom and gloom these days, but Carpe Diem sheds some light on why losing manufacturing jobs isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless you manufacture stuff. What is Mark J. Perry’s conclusion? A threefold increase in worker productivity is a major reason why there are less manufacturing jobs. Losing jobs is never pleasant, but manufacturing is going through the same cycle that farming went through 150 years ago. Soylent Green is people! Aughahgaghagagh!
Constituency: It looks like President Obama has found his constituency. The President’s approval rating sucks throughout most of the United States, but the residents of Washington, D.C. give Obama an 85% approval rating! It’s worth noting that the top ten states where Obama has the highest approval are also some of the most bankrupt. I guess if a state is used to bad leadership, what difference does it make? It might also have something to do with the fact that most of the residents either work for the government, are on the dole, are in their sixth year of graduate school or are otherwise drags on society.
More Good News: It appears the oil seepage two miles from the oil spill isn’t related to the BP disaster. I know that’s a load off the minds of the American people. Sure, there’s another leak out there polluting the Gulf, but at least BP isn’t responsible. It’s Obama’s fault!
Finally… It appears the racist member of the NAACP has resigned. The good news just keeps on coming. I’m sure the whole thing is a big misunderstanding and the truth is really that I’m a racist for even pointing out this story.
Update: It appears the video that was at the center of the controversy was edited in the worst possible way. Shirley Sherrod’s story is actually touching, except for the Marxist sentiments. However, it must be noted that the crowd of NAACP members seems on board with the whole “our kind” message. I expect that to be an overlooked part of this story.
Well, I guess the Tea Party movement is racist. I’ve been going back and forth on this question for a few months, but now the world’s foremost authority on racism, the NAACP, is considering a resolution “decrying the racist elements in the tea-party movement.” That’s a harsh indictment of the Tea Party. What are the racist elements, you ask?
Among the charges lodged against the tea party in the resolution:
- Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”
- Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.
- Tea party supporters also have a distorted view of race relations, the resolution says, citing poll data that found that 25 percent believe that the Obama administration’s policies favor blacks over whites, and 52 percent believe that “too much” has been made of the problems facing black people, compared with 28 percent of the general population.
Let’s start with the first point: signs that degrade President Obama. Unless you believe President Obama is the first President to ever be degraded that argument doesn’t hold water. Simply being opposed to Obama is equal to racism? I mean, really?
The second point… No one in the Tea Party movement has been charged with threatening public officials. As far as verbal abuse is concerned, the only thing we have to go on is the word of lying Congressmen who failed to produce any video or audio evidence in a crowd of thousands. You can’t wink in a crowd these days and not get filmed by eight different people.
The last point is the weakest (and that’s saying something). African-Americans are supposed to be outraged over some random poll that says the Obama administration favors blacks over whites? How many people in the NAACP believe that the Bush administration favored whites over blacks? I don’t even need the answer to that question and I simply don’t care.
The real question is this: What does the NAACP hope to accomplish wasting its time on such nonsense? Why does the NAACP keep supporting a national party that’s not helping blacks, and is, in fact, hampering blacks by trying their best to make selected minorities dependents and wards of the state. Idiotic resolutions do nothing to help people and only marginalize the organization.
