White People to NAACP: Time to Disband
Mark Williams, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck
- Tea Partier: NAACP “make(s) more money off of race than any slave trader ever.” -
The white race baiters in our political culture assure families seeking equality that civil rights organization such as the NAACP are no longer needed, even as race baiting is reaching a fever pitch.
Ben Jealous, give it up. Your organization, the NAACP, is no longer needed. How do I know? I read it in a press release today from a group of “Nevada Conservative Leaders and Grassroots Activists,” which told me that “In 2010, the NAACP has outlived its usefulness.” Thanks, white people!
A lot of white conservatives are upset with the NAACP this week for daring to talk about racists in the Tea Party movement. The group passed a resolution asking the Tea Party to condemn the racists in its midst. It didn’t denounce the entire Tea Party, as simple-minded folk like Sarah Palin have claimed; it merely tries to take supporters at their word that only a tiny fringe of the movement harbors any racist sentiment, by asking those supporters to denounce that fringe. What’s the problem?
Palin took to her Facebook pageto explain what the problem is. After consuming many paragraphs of Palin’s tasty word salad, I’m still not sure what she’s saying, except that Todd is part Yupik Eskimo, she and Todd and his family just spent some time together, and how dare the NAACP introduce race into our political debates when she’s just fresh from a nice visit to an Eskimo village? She did quote from ”Jesus loves the little children,” though:
The only purpose of such an unfair accusation of racism is to dissuade good Americans from joining the Tea Party movement or listening to the common sense message of Tea Party Americans who simply want government to abide by our Constitution, live within its means, and not borrow and spend away our children’s futures. Red and yellow, black and white, this message is precious in all our sights. All decent Americans abhor racism. No one wants to be associated with any organization that is in any way racist in sentiment or origin. I certainly don’t want to be. Thankfully, the Tea Party movement is not racist or motivated by racism. It is motivated by love of country and all that is good and honest about our proud and diverse nation.
Glenn Beck jumped in today, though his comments were relatively mild, and I don’t think he cried.
Now, the NAACP adopted a resolution condemning the racist elements of the Tea Party. Well, I’d do that, too, if I knew where they were…. They should be discredited if there are racist people in the Tea Party. They should be discredited. I will help you do it. Where are they? Stand in truth and the truth is the movement is not about race. It’s reducing the size and scope of government.
The St. Louis Tea Party has been riling its membershipto protest the NAACP’s move, even suggesting the group should lose its tax-exempt status for condemning racists in the Tea Party. St. Louis Tea Party organizer Bill Hennessy even argues that the Tea Party movement has more to offer African-Americans than the NAACP. “When you look at the crime and poverty and family breakdown of the African-American community … you see a half-century of failure by the NAACP,” he wrote on the group’s Web site. “None of those persistent problems was caused by the Tea Party movement, yet the principles of the Tea Party are exactly what’s needed to wind down the multigenerational destruction in the African-American community. The NAACP was once a vital weapon in the war against segregation and oppression. All that’s left is a bigoted and malicious shell that does far more harm than good for people who need a break.” The Nevada conservatives’ statement goes one better: “Their latest public comments identify the NAACP as one of the few remaining bigoted and racist organizations in the United States.
But the ever-vile Mark Williams, a spokesman for Tea Party Express Inc., outdid all of his right-wing colleagues, comparing the NAACP to slave traders when it comes to exploiting blacks:
You’re dealing with people who are professional race baiters, who make a very good living off of this kind of thing. They make more money off of race than any slave trader ever. It’s time groups like the NAACP went to the trash heap of history where they belong, with all the other vile racist groups that emerged in our history.
Then Williams outdid himself, with a mock letter to President Lincoln from Ben Jealous, asking for a return to slavery:
Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!… Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society? Williams, you’ll recall, is also the guy who said African-Americans were too stupid to get out of the way of Hurricane Katrina: “They didn’t have the necessary brains and common sense to get out of the way of a Cat 5 Hurricane and then when it hit them- stood on the side of the convention Center expiring while reporters were coming and going” (h/t Crooks and Liars).
Nope. There aren’t any racists in the Tea Party movement. Will any Tea Party leader condemn Williams? I’m not holding my breath. Sarah Palin?
A footnote: The Nevada conservatives’ press release says their brave anti-NAACP statement will go up on the website actionisbrewing.com, on Friday. If you go to the site now, you’ll get a boatload of information about their feud with the Tea Party of Nevada. These groups feud a lot: Remember how the whole Tennessee Tea Party movement (roughly 42 different groups) splintered over Judson Phillips’ for-profit Tea Party Nation(which paid Palin $115,000 to headline)?
Word to the Tea Partiers: You could learn from the NAACP, which has survived 101 years, despite plenty of strife from within and without. Tea Partiers seem so fractious they could kill their own movement before the voters get a chance to reject them in November.

Mr. Leon;
Shouldn’t the title be: White People to NAA”Z”P: Time to Disband
A terrible waste of good imagination and drive…
*This has nothing to do with people and everything to do with government policies.
How much acceptance for how long of an effort? Why not? See above…
Nothing really good for We The People. No program survives for very long, especially if it works. Why? See *
It is time to can all the BS!
Only IF We The People unite, will we win, regain control, and be free!
Everybody, as in all of us.
Disband? No you shouldn’t. You have a nationwide organization that can reach too many people, so keep it together.
In combat no one cared who was in that foxhole with them, so long as it wasn’t the enemy…
Today we are ALL in a war!
Pick a patriot and put them in office. Don’t matter their color.
As King (a family friend) said, his dream was to see a day when a man was judged not by the color of his skin, BUT by the content of his character!!!
We The People need everybody, Black Panthers, NAACP, KKK, Patriots, and all the Independents, Republicans, Democrats, American Indians, etc…
The one thing all those in charge fear most, is that We The People stand together. UNITED, We The People are in charge!!!
So Praise The Lord and pass the ammunition!
VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT!
Fight for your right to…?
BE FREE.
Drake Bailey , AGREED !!!!!!
It is unfortunate but was expected/predicted that
the “Tea Party ” Big Corporate Mass Media ” Presence/Reality
would be manipulated/engineered/infiltrated with “change agents”
and other dis_info Actors/Agents/Performers
in an attempt/effort to manipulate the perception/reality
via Big Corporate Mass Media to “fit in”
with the Big Corporate Mass Media DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN
( or as you like it ) REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRAT “Machine”.
Are people getting the idea that “Sarah Palin” is
part of the “Mass media -confuse-disinfo-muddy the waters operation “?
OK , some people like Sarah Palin and she is a wonderful person/
mother/parent/American/Woman/Feminist etc,etc.
OK , fine , Sarah Palin is a wonderful person etc. etc.
SARAH PALIN IS AN “ISRAELI GROUPIE ”
She had a big Flag in her office in Alaska and it
was not an AMERICAN Flag.
She is scripted and “playing her role” and
very well paid.
She has already declared her “firm support for Israel”
How about a “firm support for America” ?????????
A.I.P.A.C. A.I.P.A.C. A.I.P.A.C. A.I.P.A.C. A.I.P.A.C.
Have you not seen her on “Big Corporate Mass Media ”
wearing an ISRAELI Flag Pin! ” I DID”,
WHY NOT JUST PUT A WIG ON SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN
with some hair implants and some breast implants?
YES,yes, Sarah Palin is “a nice person” , “a good Mother “,
“great personality” , etc. etc.
She is still just an “Actress” , She firmly
believes whatever is on her teleprompter ,get it??
Sarah Palin’s Big Corporate Mass Media ” Presence/Role/Job
is to steer as much of the TEA Party ” movement”, “ideas”
into circles.
So now on cue the “NAACP” run by guess who ??
is agitated/provoked for “Another ” “Racial ” “ISSUE”
with the BIG CORPORATELY CONCENTRATED MASS MEDIA’S “PRODUCTION/
Performance/”Presence of the “TEA PARTY Thought Meme ”
to divide/conquer/confuse/disinfo/mis_direct the PEOPLE for an
ENGINEERED/MANUFACTURED ” NAACP” vs. “THE TEA PARTY ”
(or as you like it ) “THE TEA PARTY ” vs. “THE NAACP”.
This is just another
BIG CORPORATELY CONCENTRATED MASS MEDIA’S “PRODUCTION/
Performance/”Presence.
This “production” is just to keep the “PEOPLE”
going in circles and tearing up society!
YES,yes , “there are bad people ” , there are people who are racists”,
there are people who dislike you, etc.etc.
Yes you or someone you care about has been hurt by people of a different race.
Yes we are not going to have a perfect World.
However we are all under a full_spectrum assault to keep us all dumbed down
and confused. The Deception is almost to vast and ingrained to
begin to “WAKE PEOPLE UP”.
THERE IS SO MUCH NOISE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BUDGET IN THE TENS OF BILLIONS !!
The truth is always on a low budget,

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR GOVERNMENT RUN
BY A.I.P.A.C. ??
If so , please point out the advantage of doing so !
GLENN BECK is very simply another example of
” THE “PROVIDED OPPOSITION”
WE ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN OR
WE ALWAYS VOTE DEMOCRAT
WE ALWAYS GET A SNACK AT MCDONALDS ON TUESDAYS , (OR)
WE ALWAYS GET A SNACK AT BURGER KING ON WEDNESDAYS.
IN AMERICA YOU ALWAYS GET A CHOICE , PAPER OR PLASTIC.
DO YOU NOT RECALL HOW BOTH EMPTY SUITS
GLENN BECK & BILL O’REILLY ( “for the folks “)
On FOX FAKE NEWS
did a little skit where they both presented “their”
great plans for trillions in new taxes ??????????
These talking heads are just script readers.
There job is to lie to you !!
Rick, you are just like the folks that help put Barry in office, would not know the truth when it hits you right in the face, Beck and Oreilly, just deal with the facts. and show us the facts, It is up to us to reason with them, as I see that the people to the left still want to belive in the Pres. and that is all right, but show me and the rest of the country just what the Obama Add. has done for this country of for you. But to lie to the people to the left and the right and everthing in between, this man and his Add has set this counrty back 40 years in time, just in the race itself. Barry said that he was going to Unite the country but all the Obama Add, hsa done is to divied it from health care to the finance, Takinf the right away from the person and giving it to the goverment. He thinks that he is the only one that can see what is going on and everone else is in the dark and he and hias Add, will lead to the light, As I see it and a number of other people in these States just think he is wrong, it is not because that he is half white or half black it is because what he stands for and it is not for the best this country. he has had many months to make change and he has, it has been for the worst, You may you don’t know what you are saying, Just deal with facts, and time it self will tell the whole story,
Respectfully to steve marion ,
I am the same shade as Glenn Beck
ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,MSN on LSD, FOX FAKE NEWS,
it really is the same garbage with different flavors.
Beck/Oreilly are just “Concentrated Mega-Corporation Mass Media “.
There is no there “there ”
Yes,yes They are both nice guys with great personality
and are a lot of fun,etc,etc, whatever.
These are “Situation-Comedies” posing as news.
Stop watching TEE VEE for a few years and
then when you check “in” ( in order to monitor but not “consume”)
Tee Vee you will recognize/pickup
on the “mass media ” “mind control” ,propaganda/indoctrination.
LEFT WING / RIGHT WING EVERY BUZZARD HAS ONE EACH.
Like “paper” or “plastic” ,Left _ Right just
a simple basic tool to allow you to pick which side of the box
you are trapped in.
Forget the box.
THE LAST AMERICAN PRESIDENT WAS J.F.K.
I’m so proud to know that white people have decided that black people don’t need the NAACP anymore. After all I’m sure they can point out the three black people at work where there are 300 employees. I’m African American and I’ve seen a lot of stuff. I also have Cherokee, Cree, French and other assorted people who have contributed to my family line (not all of them were welcomed though). You don’t trust your enemies to protect you or protect your rights. That’s why the NRA is so gung-ho on guns. No matter how well-meaning, you have no idea of what I see through my eyes. And I see this country is going to betray all of us. So, White people don’t pat yourselves on your backs yet. This is a money war. I got money, you don’t and all I have to do is distract you with immigration, affirmative action, and Brittany Speares, you won’t notice how the government is stealing every penny out of our pockets. The bottom of the latter sinks into the mud first but the whole ladder sinks. Don’t think being on the top of ladder will save you. Look down and see who’s creating all that mud.
