As a youngster in Southern Colorado I grew up watching Dr. Martin Luther King make his great speeches on television. I would ask my babysitter, Mrs. Hill, a woman born into slavery what it all meant and she explained things to me. She taught me not to judge a person by color, but by the works and spirit of that person.
I always thought of the NAACP as being a group that helped black people get up and out of poverty, helped them get educated and rise up to be someone who should be admired, like Mrs. Hill. But that, I suppose is a pipe dream.
When MSNBC showed the video of a man at a Tea Party rally with a rifle and pistol strapped to him, the lady who was a commentator cried out about how it was an evil white racist. The video cut short showing the mans face because the man was black. That's right, a black man at a Tea Party rally. A willing participant. Why did the commentator lady jump to such a conclusion? Where was the NAACP, who, in my opinion should have embraced the Tea Party and it's love of freedom and equality for all?
Nowhere to be seen.
Now they come out and show that they are for the "New Plantationism" of Socialism and racial separation.
This man puts it better than I ever could:
