I Condemn the NAACP: It Has Tarnished its Reputation

I condemn the NAACP. The NAACP was once a noble organization that did some real good with regard to bringing equality for black Americans. But this erroneous, viciously dishonest and seriously misguided resolution has tarnished the reputation of the group. It has also revealed the political ideology that has driven the organization for years.

The NAACP seems now to be nothing more than another arm of the progressive political machine. This has cost the group its integrity. First, a leader calls a conservative black man who was beaten by union thugs an “Uncle Tom” — now this. Have they shame, honor or decency?
