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

NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Scott's Historic Wins - Matt Vespa

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

Dip****z.

Is it really surprising. NAACP did a study on the relation of crime and welfare. It found that for a 50% increase in welfare there was a 110% increase in crime. But they still support and back pro-welfare candidates while bitching about the number of black men in prison.

It's a liberal organization, not one based upon bettering black people. This proven by both the op and it's illogical approach to issues like I mentioned. Only Liberals and other leftist could be that illogical.

This is also true of the Catholic Church, the Mormon Church and Focus on the Family with regard to Republicans and conservatives.

No, that has more to do with separation of church and state.
 
Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

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

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.

So with that mission statement I would think they would celebrate the first black person elected to a statewide office in a southern state post reconstruction. Is that not part of eliminating race-based discrimination?

That only counts if one is a democrat.

How often have we heard that Obama is merely a product of AA. But we sure don't hear that about republican blacks.

Well, I'm just trying to see whether the statistics and rule of thumb used by Turtle actually apply to black Republicans. I'm sure they will, until they get elected. I think what is interesting is that Nikki Haley (a minority, even though she's shed her ethnic names) appointed another minority (Tim Scott) for office, and that minority seems to favor companies making stronger efforts to hire minorities. But I am sure none of that is Affirmative Action now. :)
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

It's the "systemic privilege exists" argument.

Privilege would mean that only colored people would need IDs, while whites just stroll up and vote no questions asked.

Only the "other" is a product of AA. The "us" exist in a world without AA.

Umm... no.

That's probably one of the things you like most about him.

You know if there is any person who can't afford an ID, have them step up. I have no doubt they would be taken care of somehow.

Oh, I haven't even begun to state my feelings on this matter. I am actually glad Republicans have realized that race does matter in elections. The fact that a Southern state finally made the decision to elect a black male without meddling from Republicans is progress. It doesn't matter that Tim Scott was initially picked for his position by another minority. Ironically, Tim Scott's election by the historically progressive Republican party is doing the same exact thing Republican carpetbagger efforts did in the 1870s.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Do you not understand what systemic privilege means, or do you deny the existence of it.



Once again you need to define it.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

While I find it amazing that someone would not know, I can understand how being so ignorant could result in a horrible misunderstanding wherein AA is racist because, as far as the person knows, there is no such thing as systemic privilege.

Here's an article to introduce you to the concept. I'm sure you'll like the source.

What Is a ‘system of privilege’?

really a blog?


A system of white privilege, for example, is white-dominated, which means the default is for white people to occupy positions of power. White-dominance doesn’t mean that all white people are powerful, only that the powerful tend almost always to be white, and when a person of color occupies a position of power, that will be noted as an exception to the rule (as when Barack Obama is routinely identified as a black President and not just ‘the President’).



uhm, obama identified himself as black, hell he ran on it, calling out typical white people as racists. lmao

What does that have to do with the paragraph you quoted? Did you miss some of the sentences?

Systemic privilege is not overt institutionalized privilege. You're conflating the terms.

Anyway, I support voter ID.

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 Constituti
on.

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

wouldn't surprise me at all. They got theirs and to hell with all the rest of the blacks. They were, after all, elected by conservative whites from the south who don't give a damn about minorities.

Utah is the south? I think one of us needs a new map.

I read it, the last sentence shows how seriously the blog should be taken.
 
Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

:lol: yeah. that's why they support school choice, eh? Blacks overwhelmingly want it and so obviously the NAACP is all about it, right?

lol I don't think you could've found a more biased, partisan source than the anti-science Heartland Institute, if you tried. Those are the folks that testified before congress that smoking doesn't cause cancer and now they want you to believe a poll conducted by morons in Oklahoma that want to abolish Common Core in favor of creationism. Yay, let the dumbing down of America begin.

That was the first link....I haven't looked at the second....I don't think my heart can't take it.

Look, it's just an overview of the concept for one that has no clue. What, you wanna sign up for 3 credit hours?

How do you expect to debate social dynamics without a clue regarding systemic privilege.

Maybe you can give me some examples of "systemic privilege".

Utah? they might as well be. After all, they only decided to recognize the equality of blacks once they realized that they needed them for the football team.

Maybe he meant the whites in southern Utah.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

You have no idea how diversity is valuable to a university and its students, do you.

Indeed I do, yet you seem to limit diversity to matters (factors?) of race/ethnicity (perhaps even economic status) but not based on any other factors. I maintain that diversity of political opinion, economic background, rural/city environment matters as well - how diverse is any group that votes mainly (90%+?) for one political party?

Obviously, a random lottery would be best at assuring diversity, as it can give no weight to any "discriminating" factors. What seems to pass for diversity (to you?) is a desire to define an "optimal mix" and thereby skew the selection (discrimination?) process to achieve that mix.
