But the keynote speaker at the rally, Benjamin Jealous, comes from a different civil rights tradition. He's the president and CEO of the NAACP, an organization that has historically focused on black civil rights.
Why the NAACP Gets Top Billing at an Immigration Rally
Really? Seriously?
I just hope Americans wake up and see what the NAACP has turned int to: they threw American Blacks under the bus IMHO. |
LMAO....too funny.
First of all, they're a private organization. They can focus on anything they please. It's up to your or me to tell them what kind of rallies they can attend and support? Since when?
The "throwing under the bus" comment cracked me up.
I'd venture to guess that 98% of black people don't belong to the NAACP, so how in the hell can they throw blacks under the bus? The NAACP has to get a consensus from all black people before they can take a stand on an issue?
Super asinine. Can't make a lick of sense out of it.

Pffffffft.....that's self flattery bullsh*t. Some black conservative says something ridiculous to make you feel better about yourself ("they hate you"), and you run with it. Hell, their chairman is half white.

Oh man...you're on a roll today. You need your own comedy show.
The NAACP doesn't have a hold on black people. If the overwhelming majority of blacks are opposed to illegal immigration, the NAACP isn't about to stop them from standing up against it in some form or another. If blacks aren't making that stand, you should assume that they either don't care about the issue or they're apathetic about it.
If black people want to do the "right thing" (whatever the hell that means
) they're more than capable of doing it without permission from the NAACP.
Everyone in this country has been apathetic about illegal immigration for the most part, so why do you expect African Americans to be super pro-active when whites weren't? You can go down the line at industry after industry from textiles, to cooking in restaurants, to meatpacking....illegals put MILLIONS of whites out of work. Liberal, Kansas and Hereford, Texas (big meatpacking towns) have never had any any black populations worth noting, and yet i don't see white people taking to the streets about the sudden hordes of illegal labor in their towns.

"Shouldn't exist?"
What kind of nonsensical drivel is that? Who are we to say which organizations should or shouldn't exist?
Amazing how the "original NAACP" is getting so much love from white folks nowadays. Maybe i should post a few videos of some of the marches they sponsored back in the Civil Rights Era so we can get a better picture of what that love once looked like.

The way I look at it Blacks vote overwhelmingly for Dems so they must not be that concerned about amnesty.

Welcome to America. What took you so long to realize that? It's ALWAYS about the money.

No, they're apathetic, just like white people.
