Stephen Girard created and funded Girard College around 1830 for the sole purpose of educating poor, orphaned, white boys. Girard College was totally supported from the Girard estate and didn't get a dime of government money. Somewhere around 1960 the NAACP and other black organizations went to court and declared Stephen Girard a racist and opened his school, Girard College, to blacks. (Please understand that Girard College is funded by the Girard Estate). Today you would be hard pressed to find any students who are not black. Currently Girard College is managed by a black woman.
Moving on to Oprah; she created a school for black children in Africa.
If Stephen Girard can be considered a racist for his desire to help "poor, orphaned, white boys," then Oprah is also a racist.
The NAACP is without a doubt a racist organization.
To the OP; you are a realist and certainly not a racist.
Oooh except that the laws in the US aren't the same as they are in Africa.
Strel... the sad part about this discussion is that you still refuse to accept that you are very expendable to the black race and thus are destined to learn the hard way. You are the epitome of what is wrong with the white race. You refuse to acknowledge that the white man is now abused in our society no matter how much proof is offered to that respect. But you will compromise your own so you can ingratiate yourself to a people that mock you. It looks to me like slavery is alive and well the difference is its now you who has the slave mentality.
Let me see if I can help (although I seriously doubt it).
Does he NAACP promote the inherent inferiority of persons of non-color?
Does the NAACP promote policies with the intent to marginalize, disenfranchise, or that are other wise geared towards denying persons of non-color full participation in the economic and political life of the country?
Does the NAACP restrict its membership only to people of color?
Does the NAACP deny the right of non-people of color to play leadership roles within the organization?
I feel rather confident that the answer to all the questions above is clearly, no, the NAACP does not.
No compare and contrast the above with known racist organizations, the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party et.al.
Do you think you can now determine whether or not the NAACP is a racist(sic).

LOL
I refuse to ackknowledge what I know to be false. You fabricate and delude yourself that us white guys are being discriminated against, all in an effort to justify the racism you would express anyway.
My "own" is the entire human race, by the way. But thanks for letting us see how people like you think. Us vs. Them. The usual racist rhetoric.
The term "racist" is kept alive today because politicians and community organizers and activists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make millions of dollars from the term and keeping Black Americans as a whole poor.
They could care less about Black communities, and blatantly exploit the instances where Blacks have been arrested for crimes against Whites. In the majority of those cases, the Black charged with the crime has an extensive criminal record, though you won't here that published by the State run media.
The successful Black Americans I've known(and there are many!) haven't waited on the handouts, haven't used their race as a crutch, and made their success through their own hard work, taking advantage of educational and employment opportunities that were/are available to establish themselves.
In my opinion, exclusive organizations such as the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, the United Negro College Fund, LULAC, are themselves racist organizations that DO publicly and actively advertise their purpose is solely for the promotion of their race and skin color.
To openly promote exclusiveness and segregation of your race is racism, regardless how you try to make excuses for their racist stance. A group or organization which contains the term "White" in their title is immediately targeted and labeled as racist, regardless of what their reason for existing is.
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) was founded in 1940 under the leadership of Thurgood Marshall. Although LDF's primary purpose was to provide legal assistance to poor African Americans, its work over the has brought greater justice to all Americans.

Yes, clearly stating for THEIR race. Sounds racist to me.
I would like to start off by stating I do not mean to offend anyone and I don't believe anyone should be offended however, I know people will be offended and I would like to know why!
Why is it in American that whenever the truth about the black community is brought up people will automatically call you racist, even though you are not stating opinions, but facts?????? For example, for the black community to move forward they must stop blaming every other race for their failures! Blaming the white man for the last 50 years obviously has not worked so why not try a new approach? Its called taking responsibility!!!
Just like a drug addict will always be a drug addict until he can look himself in the mirror and take full ownership of his problems. As long as he continues to blame everyone but himself he will never get better! The same can be said of the black community!
Why is it that every single city in America that is majority black is full of crime? I don't want to hear because they are poor! Look at West Virginia and kentucky, these two states have some of the poorest areas in the nation yet have very little crime! So you can not blame it on poverty! And its far to easy to blame the white man!
You make a thread title, then completely ignore it and ramble off on a diatribe. What ever happened to making a statement then supporting it?
You maul the english language. "NCAAP is a racist" ? huh?
Lastly, you don't even remotely grasp complex social problems but try to incoherently string together just two variables, poverty and race and even then don't provide any statistical data.
P.S. Have you ever been on Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" segment?

And you just want to go around and continue to make excuses! Well enough is enough! I'm not going to take the time to put data up on here however, if you want to go back and look it up you will see that i'm 100% correct! Many people will argue that the black population is full of violent crime because of their socioeconomic situation. All I stated was look at the people of Appalachia and their socioeconomic situation. Its very similar to the African American' situation yet there is virtually no crime in Eastern Kentucky or West Virginia!
Don't you get tired of making excuse after excuse for the black man? What has blaming the white man done for the black community over the past 40 years? Nothing, well actually the only thing it has done was make more white people angry and upset with them for continuing to blame the white man!
Man oh man, you have it all wrong! To change the black community, it must start with them taking responsibility and ownership of their issues. I know many black people who were extremely poor growing up, but did not resort to crime and violence! My neighbor is black and he agrees with me 100%! He made a good point to me when he stated "do you think I would be living the life I am now if I was so bitter and made excuse after excuse for my situation?" And that is so true! Continue to blame the white man all you want however, it has not worked to better the black community over the last 40 years nor will it work in the next 40 years! Its starts with taking responsibility! Stop being so darn politically correct and call a spade a spade!
Finally, supporting my statements with facts are not needed when my statements are so obviously true! Like the fact the every single city in America that is majority black is full of crime. If that is so untrue I challenge you to name one city in America that is majority black that is not full of crime. The NAACP is a joke, they will defend a black man even when there is no doubt he is guilty just to play the race card! Now its time to stop making excuses for black people! You cant help someone until they wish to help themselves and thats what my black neighbor believes and I happen to agree with him!

Oh yeah in my statement what was so untrue????? What part of my statement was not the truth? People like you refuse to look at the truth for fear of not being politically correct! As I have stated before I will never lie in order to be politically correct! You are seriously delusional if you think the black community is a happy go lucky and friendly place to be!
