The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will propose a resolution this week condemning racism within the tea party movement.In reality the NAACP would have a hard time today finding anything more racist than their own name. And, or course, they see no racism with the Congressional Black Caucus which expressly forbids white members.
The resolution, scheduled for a vote as early as Tuesday by delegates attending the annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”
NAACP leaders said the resolution was necessary to make people aware of what they believe is a racist element within the tea party movement.
“I think a lot of people are not taking the tea party movement seriously, and we need to take it seriously,” said Anita Russell, head of the Kansas City chapter of the NAACP. “We need to realize it’s really not about limited government.”
Russell said she was “pretty certain” the resolution would pass.
This once respected organization has become a joke, much like the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the civil rights world who long ago lost their moral high ground.

The NAACP has become a total joke.
They are about the racist thing going nowdays. With them its all about one thing.... Black. They are against anything White. Where are the all White Universities and Colleges? Where are the all Whites only membership groups? Well, we are aware of the racist mentality within the NAACP and it stinks something terrible.
I'm half hispanic. And I went to a Tea Party. And loved it. I guess that makes me a racist.
If they were honest, they would explain themselves by saying that only Whites can be racist. Blacks and Hispanics cannot be racist, because racism is a one-way street. Therefore, Tom, you said you're half Hispanic, and loving the Tea Party meeting would make you racist -- but you can only be HALF racist, assuming you are half White, according to this proposition.
The problem with this proposition is: what about Asians or Pacific Islanders? Can they be racist? What about Indians (from India, or American Natives) or Armenians, or Egyptians? Can they be racist? What about blond, blue-eyed Mexicans, can they be racist? Does the phenomenon of extermination of albinos in Africa owe its basis to this way of thinking?
