The NAACP: Lawn Jockeys for the Left

“There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs ...” Booker Taliaferro Washington

Booker T. Washington wrote those before the creation of the NAACP and the births of race-baiting, poverty-pimps Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and similar people of their ilk, but those words seem to be even truer today.

The NAACP (or as I call them, Negroes Are Actually Colored People) have done some good in their past, but since Blacks have been given equal rights the NAACP have pretty much found themselves without a purpose, and their hierarchy risk losing their jobs and influence. So The NAACP have been reduced to exploiting cases of actual racism, shrieking “racism” where none exist and of course allowing themselves to be used as lawn jockeys for the liberal/socialist agenda.

In years long past, a lawn jockey was a clownish-looking statue of a black male, dressed as a jockey and holding a lamp. The statue usually had the male with bulging eyes, with the whites (of the eyes) highlighted and the skin painted extremely dark.

Likewise, the left promotes a caricature of blacks as needing the government to help them and that any social or political problem affects blacks and other minorities more because of white racism. i.e. “racists” are against affirmative (quotas) action, “racists” want lower taxes, (There was a black politician several years ago who told congress “The new word for n****r and s**k was tax cuts) the death penalty is “racist”; enforcing our immigration laws is “racist” etc. When the Left promotes queer “marriage” they claim it must be supported because “racists” opposed interracial marriage between people of the opposite gender.

If you take a look at the NAACP website, you’ll find them promoting the usual Leftist agendas; opposing climate change (one would think they should take that up with G-d) via a climate “justice” initiative, reducing prison populations, (and they don’t mean by freeing wrongly incarcerated people), allowing convicted felons to vote, lifting the federal ban on funding needle exchange program (Obviously, dopers have the Constitutional right to use illegal dope without the risk of getting HIV/AIDS), supporting Washington DC’s gun ban (which ensures law-abiding blacks won’t be able to defend themselves against black thugs), etc.

The NAACP is also currently involved in a lawsuit against Arizona’s law against illegal aliens, claiming the law promotes “racial profiling” which the Arizona law specifically prohibits.

Currently, the NAACP is considering condemning the “racist” elements of the Tea party movement. Should the do that, hopefully Tea Party groups would sue the NAACP for slander (or is it libel?).

One should not be surprised the NAACP has a close association with the Left-wing and their causes, W.E.B. Dubois, one of its main members during its beginnings was a Communist. The NAACP in 1922 received grants from the Communists-linked Garland Fund.

In 1938 the NAACP was represented at the Soviet-controlled World Youth Congress. During the 1940s it was affiliated with the Communist-linked World Federation of Democratic Youth. In 1946 the NAACP supported to the establishment of the Communist-dominated Progressive Party. (www.DiscoverTheNetworks.org via The Biological Dictionary of the Left, Vol. 1 (?))

Not surprisingly, the NAACP is giving admitted Communist Van Jones, who was B.O.’s “Green Jobs Czar” until his Communist leaning were reported by Glenn Beck, the NAACP President’s Award calling him a “national treasure”.

It’s high time the NAACP stopped being looked at as a “civil right” organization and instead being called what it actually is, a wing of the Democratic/Socialist party, or as I put it, lawn jockeys for the left.

Wild West Justice: The Antidote for Rioters

Last night, after a white former BART police officer was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a black ex-convict, thugs in Oakland and surrounding East Bay cities did as they are wont to do when they don’t get their way, they rioted.

For those of you who live out of the area, Oakland generally has more than 100 murders each year. Most of the victims and perpetrators are black. One would think that would be more of a reason to get upset and take some kind of action (Action other than rioting that is.) rather than getting upset over the accidental shooting of an ex con.

Yes I said accidental. Many people in the SF Bay area and especially the usual collection of Far-Left, race-bating activists think (or rather feel, because I don’t think most Left-Wing activists put much “thought” into their conclusions about the verdict) the former officer should have been convicted of murder.

One over-emotional, common-sense deficient writer went as far to claim the black ex-con was “executed” by the officer.

The officer claims he thought he was holding his taser when he shot the hood. For the record, I personally think the officer, who claimed the ex-con was reaching into his pocket, knew he was holding his pistol but accidentally shot him while he was struggling with him, which of course still falls into the definition of manslaughter rather than murder.

It’s hard for me, or any other rational person to think a police officer would intentionally murder someone with dozens of people and cameras witnessing the event.

The family of the ex-con sniveled that there were no blacks on the jury. Apparently the ex-con’s family never heard that the object in selecting a jury is to get a fair trial and not to make getting a conviction easier.

If I were the former officer’s lawyer, I would do my best to make sure there were no blacks on the jury either and ESPECIALLY no blacks from Oakland or Los Angeles.

Looking at some videos of the rioting the thugs didn’t appear to be all that upset to begin with. Hoodlums were laughing and cheering as they were entering stores, stealing property and lighting fires. Generally, when I get upset, I don’t go off looting and vandalizing other people’s property, especially if they have nothing to do with why I’m upset. But then again, I guess I just don’t have that Oakland mentality.

The rioting thugs just used the opportunity to do as part of a mob what they wouldn’t do on their own.

I was somewhat amused by the Oakland police chief who said during a press conference he was “disappointed” by the actions of the rioters and that "This city is not the wild, wild west". Obviously not, in the old west (which wasn’t really all that wild in most places) shop owners and posses armed citizens would have blasted the thugs out of their boots as soon as they broke a window, or tried to steal something from their business.

Perhaps if we were to employ some of that “Wild, Wild West” justice, hoodlums wouldn’t be as prone to riot.
