NAACP to Condemn 'Hardcore White Supremacist' Tea Party and First Lady Tells NAACP: America Still Unequal
ABC News reports: First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement. The NAACP is expected to approve a resolution at its annual convention condemning the "tea party" movement for harboring "racist elements that are a threat to our democracy," a spokeswoman for the civil rights organization said Monday. The proposed resolution states that the "movement is not just about higher taxes and limited government but something that could evolve and become more dangerous," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell said. Delegates gathering in Kansas City, Mo., will consider the resolution as early as Tuesday. The resolution would be the latest and perhaps the most pointed denunciation of the tea party movement, which has pushed back against recurring accusations of racism since its inception a year and a half ago. Critics have pointed to signs carried by tea party supporters that mock President Obama and his Kenyan ancestry and to repeated questions by protesters about Obama's U.S. citizenship. The accusations intensified after reports that a tea party protester directed a racial epithet at Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a longtime civil rights leader, during a Washington rally in March. Then and now, tea party leaders have distanced themselves from what they described as the work of fringe elements. Several also questioned the legitimacy of the Lewis report, asking why it had not been caught on video. In response to the NAACP resolution, two tea party leaders said Monday that any racism was the responsibility of a few bad actors and not the larger movement. It sure does look like the NAACP and the White House are hand in hand in politics as usual. The NAACP is just trying to discredit the Tea Party by calling them a racist organization. This is Chicago politics/community organizing at it's finest. Nothing like painting with a broad brush. I'm very disappointed in the actions of these black organizations and the politics they are willing to play to further their agenda. It will be up to the President and the First Lady to address this subject since they have put themselves in the middle of it. We need to also take a close look at the beliefs of the Obama's on race. They both went to a Black Liberation Church and we need to ask ourselves if the First Family and many in their admin. believe what they preach at these churches. I've met many black racist in my years of working with them. I never paid them much mind. But now we could be looking at a racist in the White House like Woodrow Wilson. I'd hate to think that the American people put in another racist like Woodrow Wilson. What do you think about the Obama connection to these kinds of organizations and their sympathy for them?
It's obvious that Obama fell in with the wrong types of people. He should have been around during Kings 'I have a Dream' era, when it had said:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.... "Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Not all blacks are bad nor all tea party members. I'm a mixed man that has seen a rise in this thinking amoung some in my family. It is Che' or X teachings. The Black Panthers are deep in the prisons just like Nazi.It is getting hot in the city of Chicago and I don't mean the temp. I don't know why the racial issue has gotten so bad so fast in this country.
Race Has Been Pushed By The Liberals For Quite Awhile Now. Progressives Policies Are Not Working And To Deflect Failures, Bogus Race Baiting Is There Weapon. It Will Back Fire On Them As Most Of Their Ideaology Has. Citizens Aint Stupid They See This Regime NOW For What It Is "Anti-Citizen".
NAACP Has Been Political Arm Of Liberals And Keep Making The Same Mistakes Over Who Are Their Allies And Who Are Their Enemies. After Fifty Years Of Liberal Ideaology And Fifty Years Of Failure You Would Think They Would Be Looking Elsewhere For Racial Justice And Improvement. Under Liberal Leader Ship They Have Gotten Neither!
Hey Bruce Tea Party Is Going To Be Around Long After Progressives Have Been Sent Back To Their Caves.
Your Talking Points Are Boring And Also Untrue. Percentage Of Blacks In Our Nation vs Percentage In Tea Party I Suspect Is Close But To Me Its A Racist View To Count Heads And Say SEE!
The Tea Party will be history in short order. You have no political infrastructure at all and your whole basis for being is based on lies and lack factual basis.
You have no real leaders and Sarah Palin is a flash in the pan, money grubbing, rhetoric spewing empty vessel.
You are just poor souls that are mad because a black man is President, something you never thought you'd see in your lifetime or your childrens' lifetimes.
If you focused more on moving forward rather than moving backward, perhaps this country could be the beneficiary of some real patriotism, instead of the fake patriotism that the tea party spews with their hateful rhetoric.
By the way, Al, you Mark was the one counting heads when he mentioned the 2000 tea party groups and the one black tea party group. That's a terrible way to make the case that the tea party isn't racist. But I guess it's the best you can do,since the tea party is most definitely racist.
Bruce The First Step In Moving Forward Will Be November And We Shall Call It One Small Step For Citizens One Large Step For America With MORE To Follow.
Bruce You Just Dont Get It The Progressive Movement Is POOF! Lame Duck Session May Try To Hurt Citizens But We Are Stronger Than That Bruce So Get Use To Once Again Putting On Your Papier Mache Head Cause Your Going To Need It. Time For A Cup Of Tea!
Hows that Coffee Party doing Bruce? I see they have fizzled out fast as all get out. I'm sure once the conservatives get the government they want the Tea Party will go away.It seems like liberal and Progressive are a thing of the past other then a fringe 20%.
Or that CL Bryant... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMrSOIZgbZM&feature=player_embedded
...hHas joined ranks with the Tea Party Patriots. On top of thousands more across the nation. Doesn't matter if there are one or one hundred million black people. We ALL speak that same language and hold the same mind set.
Just chaps your a$$, doesn't it?
"You have no political infrastructure/You have no real leaders" It's call "WE THE PEOPLE", Bruce, the supreme power of the land. The American spirt and the American way of life is our life blood.
So you can put away your racebait, the American people are NOT biting today, Bruce
Chris, the Coffee Party is alive and well, not to worry. The Tea Party is so yesterday. You can't even brew a good cup of tea with the few teabaggers that are left.
Bruce By That Last Blog Of Yours Are You Eating BAD Mushrooms Or Got Your Head Where The Sun Dont Shine? Either Way Seek Help Bruce Cause November May Just Put You Over The Edge. Now Come Back To Reality Have Cup Tea And Go To Sleep Counting All Those Tea Party Citizens Entering Voting Booths!
"You can't even brew a good cup of tea with the few teabaggers that are left." I see you follow The Coffee Party (they can't even be original with their name) pledge
"As a member or supporter of the Coffee Party, I pledge to conduct myself in a way that is civil, honest, and respectful toward people with whom I disagree. I value people from different cultures, I value people with different ideas, and I value and cherish the democratic process."
But here is some comments from their website forums: Tea Party is racist. Tea Party has no African American in it. Tea Party is full of angry old white people. BUT do these IDIOTS even know that the true reason for the Boston Tea Party And then you have Bruce "teabaggers"
Wonder Why NAACP Does Not Target Big Cities Like Detriot And There Liberal Ideaology Which Is Holding Minorities Down.
Liberals On Education: After 50 Years Whats Detroits Graduation Rate?
Liberals After 50 Years How Has This Ideaology Assisted Or Aide Minorities In The Abilility To Move Up And Out Of Their Poverty? You Know That War On Poverty Thingy.
Liberal Ideaology Has Helped Keep Minority Families Together HOW?
NAACP If It Was Truely Looking Out For Minority Issues Housing, Crime,Education And Family Would Be Asking The Liberals What Have You Done For Us? Why Have You Done It? What Is Your Future Ideaology Going To Do To Help Us?
NAACP Was Once A Great Institution But Has Allowed Itself To Be Used By Liberals For Liberal Agenda And Most Importantly To Libs "Voting Block". I Beleive Minorities Are On Their Own Begining To Access What This Liberal Agenda Has Done To Their Lifes And The Answer After 50 Years Is ZIP?
Our Governemnt Has Always Been To Protect Citizens Not To Provide There Daily Bread And Now With OUR Unsubstainable Debt We Are Near The End Of That Road And Then What NAACP? Shame On You.
MARK, let me know when that day is here, because i don't see it yet. And despite your and the rights attempt to co-opt Martins message, his kids, his followers, his friends, fellow civil rights leaders don't see it yet.
Some how a bunch of White Michigan conservatives see it though.
you forget that Martin was a leader in social justice for all not just black. He believed in things you oppose, so while you try and make a single point cardboard cutout of Dr. King those of us with minds now the difference.
Look At Any Large City Controlled By Liberals And You Can See The Perfect Storm Standing In Path Of Dr. Kings Dreams. Liberalism Has Done What In 50 Years To Make Dr. Kings Dreams To Come True.
I Dont Believe His Vision Included Entitlement Mentallity That In 50 Years Has Helped Minorities How?
Families Have Been Destroyed By Drugs And Crime And Youths Look At This And Lose Hope And When Anybody Loses Hope They Lose Motivation And Confidence.
I Dont Believe Dr King Saw The School Systems In Liberal Controlled Large Citys Doing What To Give Black Youths The Education Needed To Move Up The Economic Ladder And Out Of Their Poverty.
Dr King Did Not Fail The Citizens, Liberal Ideaology As Usual Failed And Failed The Poor Black Citizens Most. All The Libs See Is Votes And If It Cost Black Citizens Their Opportunity And Right To Move Forward So Be It!
Just My Opinion But Not Being Black Thats All It Is.
