The card has been out for over three years too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think our society in general these days are over sensetive and over react to to much trivial stuff. Gives all the lawyers something to do. And then the judges that review as to whether there is some substance to a complaint go along with silly crap. It really makes me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country has turned into a bunch of over-sensitive wussies. Half of the great shows of the 70's wouldn't last a week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I think it's out-and-out dishonest. It really shows the intellectually limitations of the people complaining about it.

I listened to it and it's OBVIOUSLY all about outer space. The NAACP should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By pretending to represent blacks, these people are insulting blacks. The NAACP, much like many unions, has long outlived it's purpose and usefulness. They have transformed into an organization that places leftist/liberal political issues and policies ahead of racial issues. Whereas an organization such as the ACLU at least is consistent, as evidenced by the fact they have even defended the KKK in matters of free speech. The NAACP, on the other hand, ignores racially offensive attacks and slurs against African-Americans who are conservatives, including Condoleezza Rice and Clarence Thomas. This story perfectly illustrates how much credibility they have lost, as they have embraced the Al Sharpton model of pulling the race card at the slightest opportunity, regardless of merit. The saddest part of all is how many African-Americans still put their trust in the NAACP based purely on their history instead of an open-minded examination of their recent performance and actions. The NAACP, much like the Democratic party, relies on African-Americans continuing to do so, and gladly exploits that trust. It's disgraceful.

NickZepp Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It's amazing that unions have basically more or less become forms of corporations yet they are against corporations, but really there's not a huge difference between the two. Both are used to influence their parties and get money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 African-Americans who are conservatives, including Condoleezza Rice and Clarence Thomas. Rice isn't conservative, she is corporatist. Real conservative blacks are concerned with raising their young men and women to be responsible citizens who don't get sucked into the culture of crime and self destruction pushed by the MSM. The stated mission of the NAACP and genuine conservativism are not really at odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stated mission of the NAACP and genuine conservativism are not really at odds. I'm not here to argue labels. The fact is she isn't a LIBERAL, which means the NAACP ignores the countless slurs and offensive characterizations she was hammered with. It would have been an outrage and the NAACP would have been inconsolable had the same incidents happened to a LIBERAL/LEFTIST/DEMOCRAT African-American woman. As far as their stated mission goes, that is of little consequence when that mission is subordinated to their greater agenda, furthering all things Democratic. I wouldn't even care about THAT if it didn't take precedence over their original, stated mission. But it does. The simple fact is they obey politics first, and race second. And even then, much like the laws of robotics, as long as the second doesn't conflict with the first. Which is just the opposite of what it should be. They should be re-named NAALCP, with the L standing for Liberal. Because conservative African-Americans do not exist in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footsteps of Dawn Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Does the NAACP want any credibility anymore? Seems like they're trying awful hard to make themselves a laughingstock. Instead of Abbott & Costello, we're going to have the PETA and NAACP double act here pretty soon. At this point, it's a race for who's Abbott and who's Costello (and possibly who's on first). I like how one of the As in their name stands for Advancement, yet all I ever hear out of them is a lot of whining and commotion over nothing. I mean, I suppose that's a microcosm of our larger society, really, but I would like society in general to focus more on advancement instead of pointing fingers and avoiding action, too. Shouldn't they be focusing on putting people through college and getting them jobs instead of pondering the philosophical implications of whether two words are homophones or not?

BIGDAN Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi All, You're all missing the point, it has a subliminal message in it, "Black Holes" said backwards reads "Swark Elf" while "Black Whores" reads "Zork Elf", make what you want of that but i take it as meaning that the "Underworld" is about to invade, bring on the "Snow Dog" because "By Tor" is knocking at the Gates.

danelectro59 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The NAACP, much like many unions, has long outlived it's purpose and usefulness. I can agree to some of that, but let's not forget why they're here, and likely here to stay. You can argue, but blacks still face racism everyday. If you want proof, i can link you to a few blog sites where it's very alive and well. And unfortunately, it's directly connected to your tea party movement that says it's gonna take back America. This has nothing to do with the current state of politics now, but what is going to happen in the future. Sorry, but i want open minded people who are there to solve problems and grow this country's economy without selling out it's middle class.

Sorry, but i want open minded people who are there to solve problems and grow this country's economy without selling out it's middle class. Don't get me wrong – I don't think the NAACP shouldn't exist. I just find it disgraceful that it has placed politics above it's original mission. That they seek to correct racial injustices only when it's in agreement with their political agenda. As I mentioned earlier, the ACLU is a perfect example. They stay so true to their original mission that they have even defended the KKK on matters of free speech. Am I happy the KKK was defended? No. But I can at least respect an entity that stays that true to their stated goal. Consistency is one of the greatest foundations you can build on. It's like keeping your word. But the NAACP started out seeking to find and correct racial injustices for black people, no matter what. That simply isn't the case with them anymore. If you're black and your politics don't conform to theirs, you are left blowing in the wind. Doesn't matter what your opinion of Condoleezza Rice or Clarence Thomas is, the bottom line is they are black, and the NAACP has never made the slightest mumble when they were both excoriated in the media. Especially when specific political cartoonists made heinous cartoons about them - recently a number of cartoonists have been hammered for unflattering cartoons about Obama and many other high-profile politicians, and the NAACP was right in the middle of it. Not so when it was conservative black politicians. Consistency is everything. It allows you to see the true nature of a thing, be it good or bad.

Wolfman Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I remember when the head of Philadelphia's NAACP criticized Donovan McNabb for not running more like other black QBs in the NFL. He was basically saying he should portray the stereotypical black QB. Not cool and quite contradictory imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
