Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
So much for NAACP and Character
Published on July 20, 2010 By Dr Guy In Politics

The title is a quote from J.C. Watts.  I know, the liberals are climbing out of the woodwork right now calling him a Nazi concentration Camp guard (Luke Visconti), or an "Uncle Tom".  Why?  Because he is not a slave on the democrat plantation who actually has a mind of his own and is not afraid to speak it.  And he is right with his statement.  Character is what you do when you think no one is looking.  And the NAACP has no character.

Recently, the august (in their own eyes) NAACP (you cannot spell out the initials unless you want to be labeled a racist) condemned the Tea Party for racism.  Or more precisely, for not condemning racism.  And their condemnation was based on hearsay, with no evidence to support their allegations.  And all the while they were laughing at Shirley Sherrod, who was being hysterically funny regaling those self appointed blow hards by telling them how she was being racist - but against just a white farmer.  And as the illiterate literati know, you cannot be a racist by discriminating against whites!  Oh NO!

But for the intelligent people (that precludes most of the race hucksters), they understand that racism can cut both ways, and does.  The New Black Panther Party is racist (but the NAACP has yet to condemn them).  Not racist like "My cousin's sister's brother's aunt Ida heard them say the 'N' word" (as is the case of their condemnation of the Tea Party), but as in on tape hate filled rhetoric by one of their top leaders - and apparently getting affirmation from the audience.  Nope, that is not good enough to earn the scorn of the NAACP.

Nor is Shirley Sherrod's diatribe about discriminating against a farmer because his tan was not dark enough.  That one got laughs - at the NAACP convention!  And nary a peep out of the NAACP (except the laughter).  They thought no one was looking.  But of course in this day and age, unless you are in a lead lined coffin, you have to assume some one is looking.  Except for the stupid people that still can't get that right.

Mark Williams, a former head of a splinter of the tea party was ousted from the organization for calling the NAACP a racist organization.  So I guess the Tea Party is just another Political Organization.  Where telling the truth is definitely against the standards of decorum.  He is right.  At one time the NAACP was a noble organization that sought to bring about Martin Luther King's dream.  But as we see now, it is just another race huckstering racist organization that cares nothing for the ideals of King, but instead is only interested in suckling at the teat of political power of the Democrat party.  Still the most racist organization in this country.

I do hope that President Obama sets this matter to rest as it will dent his political profile, and credibility.
It's too late to worry about that!

True.

You confuse institutional organizations with all organizations.  The Tea Party is a Grass Roots organization.  It is in its infancy with a mission and core belief.  But it is not institutionalized.  My analogy stands.  It is no more racist than a Sunday tea party of old ladies.

If the Sunday tea party of old ladies contains both ladies that drink tea and ladies that drink coffee and has no rules against, say, coffee, it is fair to say that that Sunday party drinks coffee.

If, however, that same Sunday tea party would announce a rule that says that it doesn't endorse the drinking of coffee and that members of the party that drink coffee do not represent the group... then the coffee drinkers in the group would no longer justify calling the group a coffee-drinking group.

She has the big government mentality, but she appears to be a sincere person who is gaming a system she did not create. But Shirley Sherrod is not racist.

This is what I believe to be true. I too think that there has been massive overaction.

Let us hope that she is able to palinise the situation and "refudiate" the charge.

Bahu, Bahu.  That would be 'bidenise'.  But I digress.

Shirley Sherrod was railroaded.  By the very people who purportedly are for fairness & justice.

But Brietbart will be the focus and be blamed, not without justification.  I'm afraid this episode will wound him significantly and make it easier for the left, with the help of the MSM, to deflect legitimate criticism.  The MSM went with the story the instant it appeared they could use it against the Tea Party movement, not one minute before.

Jealous & Vilsack (maybe BO) rushed to judgment, no doubt in an effort to blunt some of the criticism leveled at the NAACP over the Tea Party resolution last week.  So they look less than stellar.  But in the looking-glass world that passes for our politics, it's hard to know who snookered who.

Should be a cautionary tale for everyone.

No, it is fair to say that some prefer coffee.  To say the Sunday party drinks coffee excludes the tea that is drunk and misconstrues the activities to imply that no tea is drunk.

Very true.  in our day and age, we already know that cut and pasting is the norm in politics.  A shame, yet unavoidable.

When the NAACP finally got around to checking, the truth did come out.  I think she is exonerated, while the NAACP has a lot of explaining to do.  Both to Ms. Sherrod and to America.

You have summed it up excellently!

If you asked me whether I drink tea, I would say yes, despite the fact that I also drink hot chocolate.

As an afterthought, the bigger problem to my way of thinking is that hardly anyone does (or says) the right thing when 'everyone's looking' these days.  Political correctness, as practiced by conservatives, is a terrible disease.

In any event racism is an ideology of power and domination and the underpreviledged and terefore a black woman can hardly be accued of racism and her dismissal seems excessive and I do hope that President Obama sets this matter to rest as it will dent his political profile, and credibility.

This almost caused me to have a brain aneurysm.   The bold statement is highly illogical.  Just because someone may be minority does not excluded them from being racist.  Like wise, just because someone is in the majority does not make them racist. 

The bold part is how a fair amount of minorities think.  An individual who is in the minority can be racist to another minority individual.  While an individual in the majority can say the same thing and it is seen as racist.  This is a double standard and isn't fair nor is it logical.  Its racism no matter how you cut it.

Political Correctness should be called Political Non-sense.  I remember reading the black woman (many people agree that this is where the term started taking the spin that it has now) and it said something like one can't be political correct and a chauvionist.  This is junk.

Most feminist think when men holding the door for a lady or pulling out her chair for her that they are doing this because the woman can't do it.  This isn't true by any means and that's where it has gone though.  Now, there are men who feel that there are certain positions that women can't hold.  This isn't chauvinism this is sexism.  

There are certain positions that will be harder for a women to do than it is for men.  Please note that I am not using an all inclusive statement.  Whether people realize it or not, men and women are different.   While at the same time, we do have many similarities.

What political correctness has done is eroded society into essentially a pool of ninnery of political non-sense.

And, as is often the case, the Professor has a good take.

Asked being the key word.  No one asked in this case, they just accused - "You are not a tea Drinker!  I saw one of your friends drinking Hot Chocolate, so you are a liar!".  That is their logic.

Conservatives?  Or republicans?  There is a big difference.

Thank you for that catch!  You are absolutely correct. ANYONE can be racist and thus the accusation is merely a statement of fact.  I missed that in his comment before.

An individual who is in the minority can be racist to another minority individual.

They can also be racist towards a majority person.  Racism is an irrational prejudice based upon a superficial quality of an individual.
