#1 I suspect there will be no Supreme Court style 5 to 4 decision on this one.

#2 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is claiming someone else is racist?!

Clearly a case of the pot calling the fridge black. If they object to organisations which a racist bent, shouldn't they vote to abolish themselves?

#3 ..shouldn't they vote to abolish themselves?

And give up the money?

The greatest threat to their self identified group for the last two generations has been the failed unionized monopolistic state education systems. However, since the unions like, themselves are just another arm of the Democratic Party, they don't speak or raise hell for real reform to 'advance' their much embraced identity group. Selling out is an appropriate descriptor. Now who is really keeping the man down? /rhet question.

#6 Sooner or later it will be a self-fulfilling prophesy. The left will push too far and the right will eventally have to fight back.

#7 They only account for 12% of the population, they should sit down and shut up while they are ahead.
Lest they invoke an old timey backlash from the great majority of the country that is sick of their bullshit.

#9 The NAACP hasn't been relevant since about the time "colored people" was the accepted term.

#10 Michelle Obama spoke and the NAACP awoke. I wonder how they are going to vote? The suspense is excrutiating.

#11 Well, Sarah Palin does sound pretty racist when she says the tea party doesn't care if Obama is half white or half black.

I know from Australia that if you identify as being black, then for someone to bring up that you are half white or half black is pretty insulting.

It's like calling an Aboriginal person a half-caste.

It's a backhanded way of doing it too... 'we don't care that you're half-white or half-black, it's your policies we are against' ... no even i get that message.

It means : You're a half-caste and we hate your policies too.

What she really should say is just stick to: we don't like the policies.
