NAACP CALLS OUT THE TEA KLUX KLAN

From TransGriot comes a story that is all over the news – conservative news outlets mostly. That’s because they really don’t like being called out on their racism, no matter how apparent that racism is. Yesterday, these outlets went insane because the NAACP in a resolution officially called out the racism that is being found amongst the Teabaggers over the past year. And it is starting to be a bit of a sign that the charges are valid when Andrew Breitbart is on Sean Hannity’s show complaining about it! See, after the crusade over the past week at that channel against the New Black Panther Party – the group that called Hannity out to his face about his own ties to white supremacists on his own program – they don’t want people to start being reminded that the white racism they like is no different. Well, that’s just too damn bad isn’t it? We are reminded of that incident with Tim Jones, a guy who attended the big teabagger shindig last September where he chased some African American vendors selling the “Don’t Tread On Me” flags away claiming they were ACORN. So long as that is in the history, Right wingers need to stop crying – before we all give them something to cry about.

The NAACP’s 101st annual convention is taking place in Kansas City this week through Friday, and today’s news from it made major headlines.

The NAACP is calling out the Tea Klux Klan.

The 2000 NAACP convention delegates passed a resolution yesterday to condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, calling on Tea Party leaders to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches.

Judging by the ‘circle the burning cross’ response from the conservafool movement, that has as much chance of happening as the LA Clippers threepeating.

And predictably, the hate is flowing from them as well.

The resolution will not become official NAACP policy until approved by the National Board of Directors in October.

“We felt the time had come to stand up and say, ‘It’s time for the tea party to be responsible members of this democracy and make sure they don’t tolerate bigots or bigotry among their members,'” NAACP President Ben Jealous said ahead of the debate.

“We don’t have a problem with the tea party’s existence. We have an issue with their acceptance and welcoming of white supremacists into their organizations,” he said.

Deal with it Tea Klux Klan. No thinking person is fooled by your ‘we’re not racist’ spin.

Not even the oldest civil rights organization in America, who knows a group of racists when they see their pointed white sheets showing.
