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

Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

NAACP has nothing to do with advancing minorities. Its sole purpose to advance the Democrat Party. Maybe not the intent during founding but sure is hell the modern organizations purpose.

Instead they focused on the bogus issue of voter ID preventing people of color to vote.

Dip****z.

How dare you think the NAACP is a racist group!

Can't you see that a group that calls itself a group for the advancement of colored people is not a racial hate group. But know that groups like the NAAWP that promote the advancement of White people are always supremacist hate groups.

If you must know what a real hate group really is, then look the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Map. La Raza and MeCha may be pro-Hispanic groups that push for Hispanic conquest of the SW US---but they, and the NAACP are not on their list, and therefore not hate groups. Also, none of the violent street and prison drug gangs that are racially exclusive and kill others outside their race on a daily basis ARE NOT hate groups---because none of the hundreds of these gangs are on the list.

We must also beleive that the NAACP's record for love and tolerance for their own people, means that Mia Love's and Tim Scott's ommission was just an accidental oversight.

Here is the NAACP' s mission statement.

Our Mission

The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

Are Scott and Love against that??(rhetorical)

Here are the NAACP's objective:
Objectives
The following statement of objectives is found on the first page of the NAACP Constitution - the principal objectives of the Association shall be:

To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens

To achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States

To remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes

To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights

To inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination

To educate persons as to their constitutional rights and to take all lawful action to secure the exercise thereof, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the NAACP's Articles of Incorporation and this Constitution.

Oh, wait, I guess Scott and Love are FOR barriers of racial discrimination and AGAINST equality of rights.

Yeah, yeah... Republicans voted for a black person. We're all very very proud of them. They all deserve a cookie. And white people should be paid reparations.

Are you kidding me? Please cite some examples to back up that bold(ed above) assertion.

First, the standards are not lowered. Second, diversity is valuable to universities and systemic privilege exists.

LOL that is a complete lie

the standards for blacks gaining acceptance at major league law schools under affirmative action were generally

.5 points lower on the GPA meaning a black with a 3.2 was treated the same as a white or asian with a 3.7

and back in the day of the 800 LSAT score, 130 points on the LSAT meaning a black with a 645 was treated the same as someone like me who had a 785 score

those are lowered standards.

Those are not lowered standards. Those meet the minimum standards and bring other qualities to the table.

Of course, you'll deny the value of diversity and the existence of systemic privilege.

The only lie is you claiming the standards are lowered when, in fact, they are met.

oh come on, they have lower credentials and scores that those who they are competing against

you confuse subjective and objective qualifications

to make the A standard for the olympics you might have to be able to run a 10.5 100 meter

and you claim that anyone who can run a 10.5 is qualified to run in the olympics

but if the USA only is allowed 3 men in the Olympic 100 meter event and there are 6 who can run a 10.00 or faster-guess what, the guy who only can run a 10.5 is not subjectively qualified to be on the USA team because there are more than 3 other men who run faster times


Michigan law might have 400 seats. 10,000 people apply and lets say 4000 are objectively qualified meaning they can do the work and pass the exams

does that mean the guy ranked 3500 is qualified for the slot

NOT WHEN there are more than 400 people above him who are better qualified.

in a competitive environment you have to be more qualified than other applicants to get a position that has more applicants than slots

That does not mean the standards are lowered. In fact, the standards are met. And, of course, you refuse to consider the value of diversity and addressing systemic privilege.

You have to be a member to get their attention and support? So when did Michael Brown become a member of the NAACP - can you share that? They "mourn the shocking loss of Michael Brown". They have a whole plan dedicated to demanding justice for his death. If he wasn't a member, why are they worried about him?

What does that have to do with the election or Tim Scott and Mia Love?


The NAACP gave Tim Scott's a big, fat F on his voting record, so why would they support him?

your argument is idiotic

if a black need only a B average and a 85th percentile score on the boards to get into a top law school while a similarly situated white candidate has to have an A- average and a 98th percentile score on the LSAT, the standard has been lowered for blacks

If someone needs a 6 to get in, and they have a 6, the standards have not been lowered.

Let's be honest. You are misrepresenting the situation so as to create a false image that standards are lowered when, in fact, they are not.

Plenty of whites get in at the lower end of the acceptance standards. Are we lowering the standards for them?

so it is your position that if a black with lower scores jumps ahead of 100 white applicants with higher scores to get the last remaining seat at a top law school or a desirable job, standards were not lowered for the black?

ok stick with that argument

The intent of the NAACP is to lobby for black causes and Democrats are more receptive than Republicans. You may not like it...but Blacks are allowed to organize in this country

but you miss the point-in a competitive environment, there are two components

objective qualifications and the subjective standard. you ignore the second part which holds that if there is one job or seat, the MOST qualified person for that seat should get it

is the 15th fastest sprinter in the USA deserving of one of three positions on the Olympic team instead of the three fastest runners?

that is what you are arguing and its what blacks who want affirmative action want

Why isn't your argument that the bottom 20% of acceptances are lowering the standards? Why specify just the blacks of that group?
