Note to Grover Leoning: The ADL does not speak for me. They are so far left, they won’t even step up to the plate to be critical of this administration and the less than stellar choices made by Obummer and his attitudes toward Israel. As for the race/religion issue - being Jewish is both a religion and a culture. One is born into a race - white, black, Hispanic, etc. But a religion can be chosen as can a culture also be adopted. Mexican Jews are both Jewish by religion and Hispanic by race, as an example. Jewish people, as with just about any religious order, can be of any race whether they are born into the faith or have chosen the faith.

Doesn’t surprise me a bit. Just as the DNC has been hijacked by leftists, so has the NAACP, AARP, NOW and many special-interest groups that target a specific demographic. Divide and conquer is a marxist tactic and these groups have developed a decidedly marxist flavor since 1972.

No, charter schools. Had the NAACP weighed in about voucher programs in DC that would inevitably help African-Americans more than any other demographic group, I doubt they would have been very supportive.

I noticed that there are no grades given at all for votes concerning voucher programs. You’d think if they really cared about their constituency, this would be a top priority. That would mean they oppose the agenda of labor unions, which I suppose they care about more.

“Preventing funding for DC Charter Schools”

Did you mean charter schools or the voucher program (or both)?

So I click to their web page and download the report card. Before my neck got tired I kind of saw what you are talking about but I am not setting my monitor on it’s side to read the rest.
Honestly, they need to talk to who ever set that up on their web page.

The NAACP can’t sell out. They have nothing left to sell. But, they can continue to operate like a protection racket. The threat is that if you don not kneel in fear and grant spoils, they will brand you a racist.

Well, they’ve played that card for so long and so often, that we are all racists now. A race card is a terrible thing to waste. As Rahm might say, that’s effing retarded.

The NAACP, La Raza, ADL and the Klan are all race-based organizations whose only purpose is to line the pockets of their senior leadership. Nobody elected them to represent their respective races. (Note: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) represents the Jews, but there remains an ongoing disagreement among Jewish people if Jews are a race, or just a religion.)

While Americans still have the freedom to associate with any groups, even the race-based ones like the NAACP, it is long past the time for people to find more constructive things to do with their time and money.

Someone who is a member of the NAACP should receive the same amount of social disapproval as members of other race-based groups. Membership in such groups says that the person places his or her race ahead of those of their neighbors and that, to them, race is still paramount. While the rest of us work with associations that serve the entire community, those who support race-based groups are clearly giving the rest of society the finger and saying, “I will take care of my own race and screw the rest of you people.”

In spite of the propaganda offered by the NAACP, their bottom line is that they want race-based hiring quotas, special race-based set-asides for business and an endless supply of race-based patronage jobs in government and industry. If they don’t get their way, they are always eager to resort to extortion and threatening various boycotts.

The funny thing about their boycotts is, that recent efforts have actually improved business for those companies and cities who were targets of the NAACP’s race-baiting and extortion programs.
