The NAALCP
VIRAL NOTES: Oh, yeah: I forgot to mention that I have been condemned as a racist by the NAALCP (National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People), and organization to which my own mother is a member, by the way:
Today, NAACP delegates passed a resolution 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.
The resolution came after a year of high-profile media coverage of attendees of Tea Party marches using vial, antagonistic racial slurs & images. In March, respected members of the Congressional Black Caucus reported that racial epithets were hurled at them as they passed by a Washington, DC health care protest. Civil rights legend John Lewis was called the “n-word” in the incident while others in the crowd used ugly anti-gay slurs to describe Congressman Barney Frank, a long-time NAACP supporter and the nation’s first openly gay member of Congress.
Missouri Representative Emmanuel Cleaver was spat on during the incident, and so it was particularly appropriate that the resolution was passed as NAACP delegates gathered in Kansas City for our 101st Annual Convention.
The proposed resolution had generated controversy on conservative blogs, where in some cases the language has been misconstrued to imply that the NAACP was condemning the entire Tea Party movement itself as racist.
The resolution will not become official NAACP policy until approved by the National Board of Directors in October.

VIRAL NOTES: Now, when you go to that page, you'll see a small gallery of photographic evidence that the NAALCP claims to be proof-positive that the Tea Party Movement is nothing more than a white supremacist movement (to which I happen to belong, and was asked to take the lead of in Ann Arbor, MI, for the 4th of July, coincidentally).
Now, after mulling this, I ask you to look at this video, courtesy of Andrew Breitbart:
Maybe I should float the idea that the Tea Parties collectively and individually pass motions to condemn the race-huckstering leftist appendage of the DNC as being a racial grievance mongering organization.
