NAACP To Vote on Resolution Condemning 'Racist' Elements of Tea Party'

First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.

The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo.

In her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.

Tea Party members have used "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically," according to the proposed resolution.

"We're deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse progress that we've made," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell told ABC News. "We are asking that the law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements, that they recognize the historic and present racist elements that are within the Tea Party movement."

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 2 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party.

The "One Nation" march is designed as an antithesis to the Tea Party, and it's about "pulling America together and back to work," McDowell said.

"We see it as a threat to democracy. We see it as a threat to human rights. We certainly see it as a threat to civil rights," McDowell said, adding that the resolution will likely pass when it's voted upon Tuesday.

St. Louis Tea Party Condemns NAACP Slur

Normally, we ignore childish hostility from belligerent people and groups. But the NAACP today intends to condemn 20 million tea party activists as racists. The millions of good, decent, and loving Americans who have participated in Tea Party events deserve nothing less than our full condemnation of the NAACP’s hatred and lies.

At midnight, I forwarded this resolution to the Washington Bureau of the NAACP. I have received no response.

There is video of NAACP members cheering as a member dissed a Black vendor, calling him an "Uncle Tom" for selling anti-Obama material at a town hall meeting. The vendor, whose name is Kenneth Gladney, is an working man, an entrepreneur, who also sells pro-Obama wares. He came to attention of the media when he was attacked and injured by SEIU thugs while hawking his goods.

It seems that the NAACP targets Blacks as enemies if they don't fit their liberal criteria for what is a good Black. No comment from either Obama about how the NAACP is acting stupidly toward Mr. Gladney.

Michelle Obama told the NAACP yesterday that they need to "increase intenisty" to drum up more racial angst. Following her lead, they plan to vote today on a resolution declaring that the Tea Party is a racist organization. They feel the Tea Party should be more racially diverse ... like ummm ... like the NAACP for example.

Personally, my favorite diverse group is La Raza.

of course not.

There's a reason why it's really the NAALCP.

While I don't agree with them, the tea-party is a political movement. Whereas, the NAACP and co are racial oriented organizations. Create the equivalent Caucasian organization and you are a bloody racist. In other words, as long as you are not white, you can pretty-much say and do whatever you like here.

If you haven't seen this before, you should. It is quite an eye-opener. They show it on LINK-TV once in a while, or go rent the DVD:

I wonder how many who call people "Uncle Tom" have actually read Uncle Tom's Cabin...
