The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

The NAACP is accusing the President of "playing the race card" because he has nominated a black woman for the US Court of Appeals for DC.

I really believe that the NAACP has lost the moral authority to stand up and claim discrimination based on racism. They have shown themselves to be one of the remaining, and nearly unassailable, bastions of institutionalized racism in this country. Through affirmative action, set asides, and quotas, they encourage and promote racism at all levels of society and government. The NAACP is a racist organization every bit as dedicated to the destruction of Martin Luther King's dream as the Klan. To the NAACP, color blindness is not an option. For every man to be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin is unacceptable.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Just their name strips them of any moral grounding for opposing racism. Their goal is to promote, to advance, the situation of the black race in America. And that is fine.

As long as they're honest about it.

They are actively promoting one race over another. That's racism. They just won't admit it.

I believe that part of the reason why they won't admit to it is because they are not actively promoting one race over another. They are promoting an ideology. They don't necessarily want to promote the advancement of black people, otherwise they would be supporting the nomination of Justice Brown, rather they only want to advance colored people who toe the party (usually coinciding with the Democratic Party) line.

If they admitted to being racist and to only being interested in the welfare of the black people in America, they would be between a rock and hard place. They would have to choose between supporting a Janice Rogers Brown and a Clarence Thomas, or admitting that they only cared about the advancement of liberal blacks. To avoid being exposed, it's easier to lie and dissemble. It's easier to try to push the racist tag off on someone else - usually a white person, someone most people are conditioned to accept as racist without question.

In the nomination of Justice Brown there was no race card in play, until the NAACP introduced it. Too bad they're not honest enough to admit it.
