Where is the outrage on this?

Where are the major news stations, the NY Times? - Where is the outrage from our great President?

This is a major black organization issuing a racist memo, calling on blacks to vote along the color line. Here is the article:

'Black agenda' memo stirs mayor race*| ajc.com

And, here is a list of the member organizations (including the NAACP) that support this racist organization:

..:: Welcome To Black Leaders Forum, INC. ::.. (http://www.blackleadershipforum.org/members.html - broken link)

Membership includes not just the NAACP, but also:

National Black Law Students Association
National Black MBA Association
National Congress for Black Women
and, more and more....

This is a disgrace, and shows the hypocrisy of these organizations.

There is no excuse for this...

Assuming I am being hypocritcal, are you saying those on the right are not hypocritical?

Like I said, people are free to vote how they like.
Some people didn't vote for Obama because they think he's a ****** and/or they hate black people.
Some people voted for Obama because they wanted to a see a half-black man as President.

and what is your excuse? that black folk can't organize and promote their own people? This is no different than any other election in this country.

Jews do the same thing here in Florida as do Cubans. The Irish do it in Boston, the Polish in Chicago so identity politics isn't going away.

Now the question begs if the National Black Law Students Association & the Black MBA Association were supporting a white canidate for mayor would you still feel "disgraced"?

talk about hypocrisy!

possibly. but some people voted for him because they felt he was the most qualified candidate. others did not vote for him because they felt he wasn't the most qualified. deciding your vote because of race is racist and ignorant in more than one way.

If a White group did this, the left would be in a rage.

Voting based on race is stupid. But the left is rather selective about its criticism of such. They won't come out and denounce voting for O because he's part Black (because it helped them), but they accuse every critic of him of racism.

That's true as well and just because I didn't mention these people in my earlier post, doesn't mean I don't believe this is true. I'm pretty sure it's true or otherwise Obama wouldn't have won. Plenty of white, Hispanic, Asian, biracial, etc people voted for him.

Sometimes it's better to vote for someone who is the same race as you.

Are you sure EVERYONE on the left would be in rage?
I'd like to see your study where you asked every single person on the left and came to this conclusion.
You can DM me the results if you want to keep it between us.
