Obama"s Message To NAACP - "I Don't Need You"

Posted by Brian
Let's call a spade a spade here. All NAACP leaders - Barack Obama doesn't need you! Oh, he needs your votes. That's certain.  But he doesn't need your opinion. He doesn't need your approval. He doesn't need to grace your hall with his magnificence.  You see, he is certain that the NAACP will carry his water to all African-Americans regardless of what he does, or of what he says.  Mitt Romney points out that there is 14%+ unemployment in the black community, and he's booed for pointing it out! This isn't debatable. It a fact, borne out by Obama's own statistics.

You, the NAACP "leadership", have done a superb job of getting over 90% of the African-American community to march lockstep behind a candidate precisely because he is black.  The anti-Martin Luther King.  Judge him not on his leadership, his results, or the content of is character, but on the color of his skin.

Bravo NAACP!!  You have taken your people back to before 1865, and the Emancipation Proclamation.  The only difference is this.  You are no longer kept on the plantation by the threat of a bullwhip and iron shackles, but by the promise of food stamps, welfare, and "fairness".

Posted Jul 12, 2012 2:26pm EDT HOUSTON, Texas — The black leaders that attended the NAACP Convention here Thursday heaped praise on Vice President Joe Biden for a heated morning speech, but one question quietly pervaded the gathering: Where was President Obama?

Obama's decision to skip the annual convention in the heat of his re-election bid has been a point of of constant speculation here in recent days, providing a sort of microcosm for how the black community views the nation's first African-American president as he nears the end of his first term.

"The people here overwhelmingly supported President Obama, would have loved to have President Obama here. So there's definitely some disappointment about that," said Dedrick Muhammad, director of the NAACP's Economic Department.

The Constitutional Foundations of Martin Luther King’s Dream

Nearly 50 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered one of the greatest speeches in American history. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before thousands assembled, King, with his characteristic vigor, shared his dream for America.
While we all know King‘s dream - breaking “the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination” to transform “the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood” - many seem to have forgotten its source. It was, he said, “a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,” one embedded in “the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.”
That adds a note of irony to the storm that broke out two weeks ago over the GOP-led reading of the Constitution in the House of Representatives. “Certainly the Republican leadership is not trying to suggest that African-Americans still be counted as three-fifths of a person,” opined the New York Times, highlighting the contempt many elites harbor for our founding documents.
It’s a tired refrain - the Founders were racists, the Declaration didn’t really mean all men, the Constitution is pro-slavery. It’s also a gross distortion of our history - as King well knew when he invoked the promise that “all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” at the heart of the Founding.

The GOP: The Party Of Martin Luther King

Why Martin Luther King Was Republican
by Frances Rice
08/16/2006

LtCol (Ret) Francis Rice
 It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.


It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.

During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military.  READ MORE HERE--->
