Does anyone really care what these poverty pimps do? Oh right, their enablers, the Democrats, care.

This is a sad day. :(

“may be the most misunderstood man in America.”

How can he be misunderstood, he is on tape?

1.) A very likely scenario for the coming days…
Race Baiter: I dare you to argue this decision OR name one black person in the WHOLE United States worthy of the NAACP Image Award more so than VJ??? Try it!!!
Person: OK, how about XXXXXX???
Race Baiter (in response): You’re racist!!!! Everyone, look at all the racists??? Vote against the racists!!!!

2.) Bill Ayers tied to Barack Obama??? It CANNOT be TRUE!!! It CANNOT be true simply because the media has NOT reported it as fact. If the media has not reported such information as fact, it is unworthy of neither discourse nor the label “extreme association”. The MSM media has NO AGENDA whatsoever! Clearly, the MSM is NOT in the TANK!!! Now, because the MSM is not “in the tank”, Barack Obama has NO extreme associations. Get it??? Now, be quiet!!!

Since when does the media care who the NAACP is honoring? How come I didn’t hear the same outrage over the honors given to Tupac Shakur and R. Kelly? Seems disingenuous at best, but I am not surprised.

It looks to me that the NAACP is hoping to use the weight of their organization to salvage some of Mr. Jones’ reputation and if it helps educate more people about Mr. Jones, the subject of “green jobs” or the NAACP, all the better.

Kudos to them.

I expect Azarkhan and Writer will be reading Zora Neale Hurston books before the end of Winter.

How come I didn’t hear the same outrage over the honors given to Tupac Shakur and R. Kelly?
Not too sure, but here’s a guess. Tupac and R. Kelly weren’t appointed by the President of the United States of America to a government position within an administration.

“When he graduated from law school, Jones gave up plans to take a job in Washington, D.C., and moved to San Francisco instead.[15] He got involved with Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a group explicitly committed to revolutionary Marxist politics[19] whose points of unity were revolutionary democracy, revolutionary feminism, revolutionary internationalism, the central role of the working class, urban Marxism, and Third World Communism.[20] While associated with STORM, Jones actively began protesting police brutality.”

This is right up the naacp’s alley.

Doesn’t sound to me that any of those organizations were illegal.

You do know Waterloo, you are suppose to cite your sources? Not just copy and paste from them?

And, just how would you know that Johnny-Jeff? Answer: You don’t. More bloviating.

Does faux think r kelley and tupac deserved their “image” awards? Sure seems that way.

I’m not on the Image board, Johnny-Jeff. It’s none of my business. We’d all do better if we minded our own business. I hope you learn that someday. Cecelia and Oma may not be around for you to hide behind their skirts.

Nice diversion, faux.

OS, just say “Thanks, Philby!”.

“You do know Waterloo, you are suppose to cite your sources? Not just copy and paste from them?”

My apologies, it’s a SECRET website called…Wikipedia

Now, now Royal,

You know a white racist like me would never read a colored book. However, since you are obviously familiar with Ms. Hurston’s oeuvre, which book do you recommend and why?

PS: I’m always willing to learn from my betters, especially an intelligent, accomplished white man like yourself.

Hey Royal. Can we spell communist with a ‘K’?

And his numerous accomplishments are?

oh wait, some people get Nobel Peace Prizes for nothing too. My bad.

The NAACP wants to be linked with a Truther? A crank who identifies himself as a communist? Seriously?

Way to tarnish your image NAACP.

I think Azarkhan, you probably have to start with Hurston’s masterpiece, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Many of her African-American peers roundly criticized her for this book, but it has a sub-theme which I find most useful and interesting: gender as trumping race. The race issues are seen as racial (and, indeed, dialect is often used to tell the story) and not racist, although I think this is sometimes missed. You might better enjoy Seraph on the Suwanee, in which most of the key characters are White. It is again interesting, but the key here seems to me to be a not completely unsympathetic view of Whites and their roles and interactions with the African American community. I don’t view Seraph as a polished work of literature or even a great story. Simply, a compelling theme …. Lastly, “A Negro Voter Sizes Up Taft,” published in the Saturday Evening Post 8 December 1951, which details Hurston’s fiscal conservatism. Hurston and Langston Hughes were great of not tense colleagues, and Hurston was decidedly put off by Hughes’ Communist sympathies. I would think this ought to greatly interest you. Conservatives always seem to be searching for the African-American soulmate who will give modern American conservatism legitimacy. Here is such a soulmate, yet she always overlooked. There may be some racism involved, but I think it simple ignorance. Few modern conservatives seem to think Hurston ever existed. If you get into her work, you will be able to dazzle the dullest of conservatives.

Royal,

We will show you how legitimate we are in November. And btw, why would I want to dazzle the dullest of conservatives when apparently I’m already dazzling you, the dullest of Leftists?

Maybe the real reason you like her is because; “She exploits that phase of Negro life which is “quaint,” the phase which evokes a piteous smile on the lips of the “superior” race.”

Guess you’re still trying to escape that plantation mentality. Good luck with that!

Talking about the past, whenever Royal denies he’s a self-loathing white person, the way he pouts and clenches his little fists and tap dances, it’s like watching an old Shirley Temple movie.

The burden of history seldom falls on the ahistorical. Alas, I am well aware of historical context. My family, on both sides, arrived in the States well after abolition and emancipation, but in the midst of Jim Crow. I can’t imagine how we, my family, could be held responsible for Jim Crow, we being part of the great liberal democracy tradition. But surely, I can bemoan my nation’s sad departure from its noble ideals.

Is Obama’s election part of that departure?

I would say a reaffirmation, Writer.

A reaffirmation of the departure?

As you well know, a reaffirmation of our core principles, the great liberal democracy tradition we all enjoy.

I remember back on that Tuesday night in November 2008. As the evening began, we all knew what was ahead of us. The outcome had ceased to be a question at least a week before, written all over the tired, courageous, peeved (at the Drop Out Governor), beautiful face of Cindy McCain. But, as soon as we learned that Pennsylvania was the Republican pipe dream we all thought it would be, and all of the Northeast and Midwest began to fall in line, I noticed my eyes were puffy and burning. And, right before the 10:00 p.m. commercial break, when we knew as soon as coverage began anew that this articulate young man, with his young and attractive family, was going to be declared the winner by all of the networks, I still had tears in my eyes when I heard, “Now at 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast, NBC News is able to declare Senator Barack Obama of Illinois 44th President ….” How proud I was, and what a proud moment for our nation. At long last, the greater majority of Americans, not all Americans, to be sure, but the great majority, rejected and cast off the Great Shame. What a wondrous night for America!

I actually first heard that Pennsylvania was squarely for Obama on FOX, believe it or not, sometime shortly before Grumpy McHume tottered off to bed.

So, yes, a great and noble reaffirmation of all that is best about our amazing country.

Thanks for asking.

No matter how often they trot out this Communist, he will NEVER be accepted by the vast majority of the American people. And they keep talking about what a genius this guy is! I read him and I do not see it. All I see is PROPAGANDA.

WE DON’T WANT RADICALS IN POSITIONS OF POWER IN THIS NATION! PERIOD!

Take this fool from our sight!

Can’t get me on that one, Royal. I’m independent. Bash Bush all you want. But I do care about America. So when I saw Rev. Wright saying goddamn America, and that was the best preacher that Obama could find in all of Chicago, I had a problem with it.

Van Jones–enemy of the USA. The commie b*****d should be shot! Kinda lets you know what -0bama’s all about though, doesn’t it?

We can’t be worrying about communists near the White House when there are huge threats like eighty year old tea partiers out there.
