NAACP backs report that ties racist groups to tea party

Not open for further replies.
That may be the goal, and it is rather dishonest. It may be that some racist groups try to tie themselves to political parties or movements. But does that mean the party or movement is then racist? Not really, I mean it is possible but it does not necessitate it. And I think the Tea Party isn't a racist platform; but rather one of pissed off people that was well captured by the Republican arm of the Republocrats and turned into political propaganda.




You are right. The loud and out part of the tea party is a co-opted mess by palin and her cohorts. But the grass roots anger of folks like me is still there and will be seen this november.
 
Oh, but there's no bias in the media.

No evidence of political bias. You have to actually prove those things. And profit bias is a different animal. Sensationalism sells.
 
Here's who came out with the report for the NAACP.
No racism against whites on their website. Not much anyway. This from there "About Us"

I am going to talk briefly about the Tea Party phenomenon and why it is .... The Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights is asking all who can ...
Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights

We begin with an optimistic, yet un-blinkered understanding of our situation. The political landscape in the United States has changed considerably since IREHR's founding in 1983. Our long-held dreams for social and economic justice have become imbued with new hope in the future. More, the drive towards a truly multi-racial, multicultural democracy and individual human rights have gained new and powerful adherents.
Nevertheless, racial discrimination against people of color, and housing and social segregation are facts of daily life. The overwhelming majority of white people continue to take for granted the relative privileges accruing to their skin color. Our government's many broken treaties with Native American Indian nations remain unrepaired, and anti-Indian racism plagues the individual and collective lives of this continent's original people. Bigotry, both the theologically based and the ordinary secular kind, continues against gay men and lesbians. Despite the many strides towards gender equality, women remain underpaid at work, too often mistreated at home and subject to the strictures of a patriarchal society. Reproductive rights remain at risk in many parts of the country. The worse aspects of nativism have become manifest in vigilante action, hate crimes on the streets, and mean-spirited legislation. Anti-Semitism continues to bedevil our society, both in its most overt swastika-emblazoned form as well as in the far more frequent assertion that the United States of America is, or should be, a Christian nation.

Not sure I'm getting your objection.
 
If you are black and liberal the Republicans WILL call you dumb.
Take your pick.

But there is lots of truth behind that charge--the dems have it in their party's self interest to keep blacks addicted to government handouts and the dem politicians. affirmative action also is subtle enslavement. I know a few bigots but they never whine about being seen by an Asian or Jewish doctor in the ER room
 
You've made some idiotic statements, especially about economics and taxes, but this one goes right off the deep end...

ah more of that white guilt again, that and the mindless attitude that if someone doesn't buy into welfare socialism, they must be clueless about economics. Lets talk about individual economic knowledge. If you are good at it you don't need others paying for your existence

Perhaps, I don't think anything is going to come of it. I think they're mostly just going to vote for the other side of the teeter-totter. Supporting the status quo will not change the status quo.

Well we got chris christie, he wasnt the "status quo" there is hope. But yeah for the most part you are right but there will be cases of the right people finally being elected.
 
Having intensively studied 'slavery' for the past 3 years and having thought about the historical implications of it to the point where I want to go to university simply so that I can become a full fledged expert on it. I simply disagree with your liberalization of the terms slavery and liberalism to make a point. I'd wish my enemy free health care and public housing long before I'd wish them to be slaves. I mean I wouldn't wish the worst of the worst human beings slavery. It's the worst state you can possibly push the human condition into. I also find it quite disrespectful to people who have actually been slaves that somebody who claims to want to engage in rational conversation would start off the conversation with it. The terms aren't even remotely comparable. Not psychologically, not historically, not sociologically. It doesn't matter how much rhetoric you use in an attempt to compare them, in practice they simply don't come close.

The term Slave has four definitions

1: a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
2: one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence
3: a device (as the printer of a computer) that is directly responsive to another
4: drudge, toiler

You are referring to the first I am referring to the second. Can you please explain why you feel the Welfare State does not cause one to become "completely subservient"?
 
In today's political climate the cry of racism has become the first of attack by liberals because do not or cannot deal with facts or the truth or argue through the use of intellectual tools they do not have at their disposal, or it's just frustration because those who oppose them make too much sense to fight with on a level playing field.

As to the claim that groups like the NAACP are not inherently that is laughable. Any group that has at it's core the promotion of one race over another is racist by definition, straight up.

They don't have to run around like Obama's Rev, Wright damning white America to be racists.

If the NAACP and Democrats in general are not the Racists why do we not hear one word of condemnation directed at Rev. Wright or Obama for his statements of support for Wright who has preached every Sunday for the 20 years as Obama attended his Church a steady diet of Black Liberation Theology which is based on everything Anti-American, and Anti- White people.

Let the name calling commence, but listen to the Racists in their own words coming out of their own mouths. The you racists can go into your name calling mode of denial.

Now watch this. Yes it's Glenn Beck but it's not his words that tell the important points here.


If you study what Black Liberation Theology is about you find that they use FALSE Christianity to conceal their true purpose, and goals which is the overthrow of the American (white) WAY OF LIFE and OUR CONSTITUTION.

Read and learn about your leader and his racism:American Thinker: Obama's Mentor's Mentor

I have once again given youmuch to chew on i hope you don't choke on it.
 
And don't forget he thinks they are all on welfare. I can show you a lot more white trash on welfare in my area than blacks.

"A black person voting for a republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders." :mrgreen:

Why would you say, "white trash"?

Anyway, whatever. It's a fact that there are more white people drawing a welfar check, than black people. However, there's a problem, when whites make up 80% of the nation's population and 37% of the welfare recipients; and blacks make up 13% of the national population and 34% of the welfare recipients.

Obviously, the Democrats haven't done much in the way of helping blacks move forward.
 
Fear Mongering is the GOP's middle name.

I guess that's why you hear Republicans screaming, "racism", all over the black community, during election time? Oh, wait, they don't do that. Do they?

You still don't understand the real reason blacks aren't seen in the Republican Party and that only says volumes about the typical Republican. Trust me, Black America is able to see through White America true motives more than the other way around.

Since I'm a black Conservative how about you explain it to me. I've never been on welfare and so far, I haven't seen the, "true motive" of white America.
 
Yeah... we call white liberals dumb too :ninja:

the rich white liberals are smart-they buy the votes of the stupid liberals with other peoples' money and with those votes they become rich and powerful without doing anything productive or useful

I wonder if Crosscheck realizes who the ONLY person to use the phrase 'He doesn't look like the other Presidents on those dollar bills' & 'oh, btw... he's black' was.
 
Yeah, because the Liberals are privvy to the true motives of White America.

of course they are, they are smarter than the rest of us...just ask 'em if you don't believe me.
