NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Scott

Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Is that where they went wrong? :lamo

See the Truman quote I posted.

The problem with your brand of hackery is that it renders you incapable of seeing anything beyond the GOP narrative.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

The Dems lost because they lost the White vote.......married couples with children voted 58 to 40 percent Republican. The Dems need to decide if they really think they can win going forward with a black, Hispanic and gay coalition.....

Take your racist garbage somewhere else.

I guess that's why no one wanted to admit that they voted for Obama. :lamo

But, when Libbos harp about Republicans not getting the black vote, that isn't racist?

Some folks are really butt hurt over the Libbos getting their asses spanked last week. :lamo

Precisely. They ran away from their record.

The Democrats were going to lose seats either way; that's the nature of the beast with midterm elections, especially going against a more energized voter base (Republican voters are much more reliable midterm voters) with a lot of vulnerable seats in play. However, the losses were far more than they had to be simply because the Democrats refused to campaign as Democrats. And they always pull **** like this, which is one reason I have nothing to do with that party of dickless chumps anymore.

Again, see the Truman quote I posted.

On the contrary, I really couldn't care less. This was the most "meh" election in recent memory. But please, continue spiking the football and thinking this is ushering in some glorious epoch of Republican rule.

You're whining your ass off, because you don't care. Right! :lamo

Kob lets be realistic the Dems lost badly the last time around when Obama said he got a shellacking and now the same thing happened but far worse. It's all across the country, starting with republican governors that now control 32 states, now the senate is in control of the Pubs and the house gained more seats, the highest number sense the 1930s. And last all over the country Dems lost seats in their districts. Over the last 6 years the Dem have performed miserably that is the truth. No lipstick on the pig is going to change anything. At first the Dem controlled everything then they got the shellacking and now the atomic bomb. This is not because of successful legislation but the lack of.

Reciting the election results, which I already know, is not going to change my take on things.

The Democrats have been FAR from perfect, and as I've stated, certain losses were unavoidable. However, they could have stanched the bleeding.

FAR from perfect is an understatement, thus all the losses. But everyone deals with death in their own way. Many stay in denial, others recognize the death was his own fault, make no excuses. You are in denial and making up excuses.

Anyway we can now see what the GOP does and how Obama in denial reacts.

"Making up excuses"? Please. I know you have your narrative and you're sticking to it, and your epistemic closure causes you to see anything that may conflict with it as liberal hooey, but try showing a shred of intellectual honesty instead of sticking with your "LIBRULZ ARE TEH SUXORZ" obstinance.

Reality isn't 'racism'.......it's just, well, reality

The question, then, is whether it is reality or not.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

The NAACP, like NOW, is primmarily a "victim's" organization and one cannot be a victim of electoral success. Like we see with other race hustling, poverty pimps (e.g. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) they are not into celebrating success since they gain nothing from pointing out that success through personal effort is not a race (or gender) based issue. The "victim" angle is that race (or gender) is some nearly insurmountable barrier that requires (their?) outside assistance to overcome.

I think Mia Love says it best when she is CONSTANTLY asked about race/gender and their importance to her most recent accompishment:



Mia Love vs. CNN Host on Her Victory: "This Has Nothing Do With Race" | Video | RealClearPolitics

Let me see if I've got this straight. It's not about race, we don't want it to be about race, but damn that NAACP for not making it about her race.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Are you suggesting that the Republicans didn't capture the White vote and win because of that?

It's about the NAACP, which is about race, ignoring Scott and Love.

I have no idea, frankly.

But calling something "the White vote" sounds like some serious generalization to me.

It's not a narrative, it's facts. Obama's liberal policies have been overwhelmingly rejected, which you are in denial of.

You don't have it straight. Does what Mia Love did or said hurt or help the NAACP's stated mission of removing racial barriers?

If help comes from gov't handous then the NAACP is all supportive but if that help comes from personal effort and taking advvantage of existing opportunities then not a peep. ;)

But I thought we didn't want it to be about race. Or is bringing up their race only OK when it fits the RW narrative?

She said it wasn't about her race. If it's not about her race, then why should we be upset when someone doesn't make a big deal about it?

What was the message of MLK Jr. in his "I have a dream" speech? Was it not the same as Mia Love's? Ending racial discrimination, the NAACP's stated mission, includes (if not outright depends on) having as many Mia Loves and Tim Scotts as possible.

What the NAACP must never do, to assure that it survives in its current form, is to admit (much less advertise) that Mia Love's and Tim Scott's success was in no way dependent upon any gov't "help" program but resulted from a (naturally occuring?) lack of racial/gender discrimination standing in the way of their elections in red states.

The biggest fear of the NAACP is that the demorats will lose the ability to smear the republicants as being the party of rich, white folks that are engaged in a war on (or repression of?) minorities and women. Ending identity politics and the associated special gov't programs would render the NAACP obsolete.

Of course it's the same, and I'm not out to defend the NAACP from charges of being overly partisan.

But if her race is immaterial, why is it "bad NAACP" for not making it a big deal? She's not the first black member of Congress. Scott is not the first black Senator. First from their party in a long time, perhaps, but why has it taken so long for black Republicans to get elected, and how is that Democrats' fault?
 
Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

I don't expect them to, think I've established that pretty clearly. You initiated this conversation in response to me stating that the NAACP is pretty much a sub-organization for the Democrat Party.
Out of the the title, NAACP you nit picked the word "colored" to base your entire premise on. So I think I'll nit pick the word "people" and suggest that one or two blacks does not an entire demographic make.




So then you agree, the NAACP is pretty much a partisan entity. While a majority of blacks are Democrats, not all are so perhaps they should amend their mission statement to state they only support the advancement of black Democrats, black liberals or black progressives. Clearly they don't live by their current mission statement otherwise they'd celebrate Tim Scott's victory as this is pretty significant advancement for a black American.
I think I stated quite clearly that the NAACP is a black organization funded by blacks for black causes. I don't know about Tim Scott, but Mia Love was not elected by blacks and she doesn't represent blacks in congress and I doubt that she has donated even one thin dime to the NAACP.

In her CNN interview, Love said her election wasn't about race....but as you can see from the OP and rightwing blogs, conservatives only care about her race. Clearly conservative interest in the NAACP is disingenuous at best and racist at worst.
