Issuing a travel ban to Florida for Black Americans is one of the most racist things I have ever heard anyone say publicly - however, that is so obvious it does not need emphasis - and that's not the purpose of this post.
The president and CEO of the NAACP issued the attached statement. He is, by training at least, a lawyer. To graduate from law school, one should possess a modicum of American History and Civics knowledge.
This does not seem to be the case with this gentleman...
He says that Florida is "in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon" [sic]
Who wants to volunteer to tell the president of the NAACP that the United States was NOT founded as a democracy but as a Constitutional Republic?
One would think that by offering an annual compensation of $460,511/year for the CEO of this "nonprofit" organization, they could at least attract a person with a wide, diverse background and skillset to occupy the role.
Whoever takes on this teaching challenge had better be ready to explain the difference to this person, as it is painfully obvious that he is quite clueless - not only about this, but I'm sure many other things.
Additionally, why is a racist organization like the NAACP still permitted to exist today?
It literally stands for the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." This organization is PROUDLY focused on only helping one race of people at the exclusion of all others.
Can you imagine the outrage if there was a group called the "National Association for the Advancement of White People?"
If the latter is racist, and it would be, then so is the former.
How about this? Let's eliminate the NAACP and start an organization
called the NAAUP... The "National Association for the Advancement of
Underprivileged
In the meantime, would someone please give this gentleman a Civics and American History lesson?
Tim adds:
Now let me get this straight. The NAACP is saying Florida is racist. That means they hate black people and don't want them around. So they are going to punish Florida by - drumroll please - trying to keep black people from going to Florida. Seems to me that is exactly what a racist would want! Fewer black people in Florida would be a Klansmen's wet dream!
And if Florida is so racist why are so many Cubans and other Latin Americans so interested in living there? Wouldn't they want to move away to a more welcoming state?
BTW If we called black folks "colored" we'd take a rash of abuse and probably see a boycott, yet it is fine for this organization to have that in their name. And the word used by many for white hicks - crackers - comes from Florida cowboys, who used whips to control the cattle. Why isn't THAT racist?
