NAACP won’t directly address racism leveled against Clarence Thomas at Progressive protest

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

The NAACP won’t directly address the racism displayed by progressive protesters outside a summit hosted by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch at the end of January in Palm Springs, Calif., but the organization did call for an end to all “vitriolic language.”

In response to The Daily Caller’s request for comment on a video showing progressive protesters calling for somebody to “string up” African American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or “send him back into the fields” or “cut off all his toes and feed them to him one-by-one,” NAACP spokesman Hilary Shelton pointed to the organization’s recent resolution calling for a “civil political discourse.”

“Last summer, the NAACP passed a resolution calling for a civil political discourse,” Shelton said in an e-mail to TheDC. “We continue to call on all Americans to abandon vitriolic language. It serves as a distraction from the real issues our society need to address and distorts the challenges we as Americans have to confront to make our nation greater still.”

Shelton would not, however, address the content of the video directly.

It is OK. The Socialists get a pass to say this racist stuff. Move along.

the NAACP is one of the most racist organizations out there and has been for a very long time.

They have no use for the "Uncle Toms" of the world.

He's not "black enough" in other words.

The sad part is in the case of Clarence Thomas grew up in every way "black" like they call it/want it to be.

NAACP and ACLU are pretty much one in the same.................they had a REAL purpose at one time.

on "want it to be", NAACP (basically collection of Sharpton/Farakhan clones) don't want anyone who managed to make it to some level of prosperity "by bootstraps", only those who got there through shady approaches.
