Stop the bullcrap. Racism is no one way street. We all know the NAACP has "racist elements" within its organization. So, in the spirit of mimicking the recent proclamation that the Tea Party must repudiate its "racist elements":

WHEN WILL THE NAACP REPUDIATE THE RACIST ELEMENTS WITHIN ITS ORGANIZATION?

You mean like they just did to Sherrod, before her side of the story got out?

Like that?

The NAACP is an organization defined by race. Race is their raison d'etre. A "pro-black" attitude is expected and appropriate for them.

So while I agree that they should repudiate racist elements within their organization, they are always going to be an organization that is "about race", and will always be the target of this kind of attack.

No matter what they do.

And neither is personal irresponsibility, Laziness, crime, excuse making, out of wedlock births..etc. When are white people going to start focusing their attention on these things among whites? Its not a one way either.

You're amazing. The first thing that comes to your mind is to turn this around on white people instead of acknowledging the OP. I'm shocked, I tell ya.

People like you are the reason race relations in this country will not advance.

I would suggest that people like David Duke, Donald Black, and all the other vocal white supremacists are the reason race relations in this country will not advance. Did you forget those people in your bias?

No....whats going full steam in America is the attempt by a segment of the white population to turn racism around on black people....to put black people on the defensive about racism as whites have been on the defensive. That was the purpose the the edited tape and a lot of FOX news.

You're kidding, right? David Duke? Donald Black? Most American's couldn't tell you one single thing about either of those two people other than the organizations they are affiliated with. To assume that either of these people have the same reach as the NAACP is downright disingenuous.

Hey, look! David Duke supports the Tea Party and your position! LOL Listen to "Dr." Duke speak. I would suggest those most Americans would be familiar with the KKK........which has now morphed into stormfront.

You give American's too much credit. Strormfront is not front and center in the average person's life. In fact, i'd reconcile that most persons have never even heard of it.

Regarding David Duke, I don't have a vested interest in his views. In fact, I like most American's could care less what he has to say. Whereas the NAACP is front and center espousing their views in the mainstream media all the time. That's my point.

You appear to me to be PROJECTING. Is it not true that this whole thing is the result of the NAACP saying that the Tea Party should repudiate racist elements in its midsts? So who is trying to turn this around on on whom when it was black orginization that called out a white orginization....now the white orginization, with the help of you, are trying to turn it around on a black org? That is classic projection. You attempt to accuse me of what you are guilty of doing.......which fits the general theme in white America to try to make black folks out to be racist like you are.
