NAACP Leader Says Tea Partiers Would Probably Not Applaud MLK's Dream Speech… While They Were Applauding His Niece Across Town (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, August 30, 2010, 2:27 PM
Dem operative NAACP Leader Ben Jealous told a reporter this weekend that the tea party patriots would probably not even stand and applaud Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
NAACP President Benjamin Jealous continued his race-baiting and demonization of the conservative movement this past weekend in Washington. Jealous was talking to a reporter at Rev. Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally.
Via Breitbart TV:
Ironically, while Ben Jealous was making this outrageous accusation the tea partiers were applauding MLK’s niece Aveda King across town:
Maybe Jealous should have paid more attention to the divisive and offensive signs at his rally rather than focus on the tea party patriots.

Thanks to the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like, blacks are more enslaved now than they ever were in the cotton fields.
Crime, crack, and gangs have depleted the young black male population.
The chance for a young black man to live to his thirtieth birthday is astonishingly lower than a white man.
Thanks to the enlightened direction of the Democrats and black racists since Johnson’s Great Society.

The NAACP (democrat flunky) has an agenda. Facts don’t matter. The important thing is to discredit the Tea Party movement any way possible. It doesn’t matter how stupid the people like Jealous sound, mainly because their audience is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Which liberal university did Benjamin Jealous flunk out of?
Kevin P commented:
Answer – none. Liberal universities don’t flunk people – it would hurt their self-esteem.
Multitude commented:
I’m sick and tired of this crap (as are many others here). I’m a teapartier. I’m pro gay marriage, pro minority (being not-so-distantly descended from immigrants myself), and know my Marxism and post-Marxism better than most in the progressive movement (don’t get me started on the values post-Marxist theorists like Negri, Hardt, Badiou, Derrida and others bring to our world).
But I’m a teapartier because I’m not a house negro. The master’s gotten fat and the house negros lazy, while us field negros are suffering for it. And don’t think for a second that I think it’s a particular party that I’d blame: they’re both guilty. Currently, the Progressives are the most fascist and imperial (and yes, that sentence makes sense if you understand the analysis beyond the inept level of a MSNBC commentator or a college undergraduate dabbling in a political science course).

BLACK REPUBLICANS MAKE HISTORY
by Frances Rice
July 14, 2010
[Scott and the other black Republican nominees, if elected in 2010, would join the ranks of the first blacks who were elected to Congress during the Reconstruction era - all Republicans. On the list that is posted on the NBRA website are the first two black Senators and the 21 black members of the House of Representatives.
Hiram Rhodes Revels of Mississippi was the first black elected as a United States Senator, serving from 1870 to 1871. He was followed in the Senate by black Republican Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi. Republican Joseph Rainey of South Carolina was the first black to enter the House of Representatives.
During the era of Reconstruction, Democrats - using the Ku Klux Klan - launched a reign of terror against Republican leaders, especially black Republican elected officials. The brutal acts by Democrats was the reason there were no more black Republicans elected to Congress for nearly one hundred years, until the election of Edward Brooks of Massachusetts in 1966.
Racism in the Democratic Party - past and present - is buried by the liberal press since it does not fit within the media template where the Republican Party is painted as a racist party. The charge that the Republican Party lacks diversity prevails in spite of the existence of around two million black Republicans in America. Also disregarded by the media is the fact that a black man, Michael Steele, is chairman of the Republican National Committee.]
[be sure to click on NBRA website are the first two black Senators
and the 21 black members of the House of Representatives.]

The NAACP’s Racist Agenda
by Frances Rice
July 13, 2010
[Like the hypocrites they are, the NAACP has jumped on their racial high horse in an effort to discredit average citizens involved in the Tea Party Movement, accusing them of racism, simply because they are concerned about how President Barack Obama’s massive deficit spending is turning our country into a failed socialist nation.
It matters not that the inflammatory charge of racism aimed at Tea Party protestors in Washington, DC was demonstrated to be absolutely false in the article "A Closer Look at the Capitol Steps Conspiracy" by Jack Cashill. The Democrats making the allegations produced no documentation to support the charge of racism—not one photo, not one audio, not one video—in spite of the $100,000 reward offered by Andrew Breitbart.
It is quite clear that the motivation for the NAACP’s attack on Tea Party activists is to divert the public's attention away from the fact that President Barack Obama and the Democrats in control of Congress are slowly and deliberately transforming America from a free society into one that is government-controlled, the antithesis of our nation’s foundation.]

Beck just announced that he received a telephone call on Saturday night from the Smithsonian. They are requesting that certain items from the rally be preserved for a future exhibit.
Beck said he woke his family to tell them.
Poor Ben Jealous. Poor Al Sharpton. I don’t think they received similar calls.

How sad. Truly tragically sad.
I kept imagining while I was there…..that the Sharpton rally and whoever showed up – if they could just be plunked down smack dab at the Restoring Honor rally, and made to be unable to talk or move, just listen – then they would hear how wrong they were.
I know that this is just fantasy, delusional imaginings. These people are sold out to their agenda, and they hear the truth, but reject it. They twist the words, like Sharpton did on GMA, to hate and foolishness.
We see through it. How many of the GMA viewing audience does? More and more each and every day, I believe………. That is what has them scared.
Be ready to stand. Another thing Glenn Beck said on his radio show today was that he warned all the ministers and such on the stage to prepare – that “all hell is going to break loose” against those who stand for honor, for truth.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. These guys are dirty, and November 2 is only 40 days away.

LL commented:
Who said that they had to leave guns at home?
Anyway, I think the guy who spoke — Jealous — is right in one regard. The people who were present at the restoring honor rally would not have championed “the right to a job” that Dr. King pushed for.
In contrast, the restoring honor crowd would have championed equal opportunity for a job. There is a difference and it is significant.
Everyone agrees that the content of character is far more important than skin color.
Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and many other professional agitators make their living on skin color. And you can make of that what you will.

WWJD? I think if Jesus were in DC Saturday, he’d find both rallies lacking in intellectual and spiritual integrity. Beck and Sharpton believe deeply in…Beck and Sharpton. Jesus didn’t have a press agent, as far as I know, nor did He talk incessantly about himself or pander his to audiences.

Jealous is living up to his name sounds like to me. He was just envious that Glenn Beck had MLK’s niece speaking at his gathering and not at Sharpton’s little pack of hate mongers.
Ironic how Ben Jealous and Al Sharpton, completely ignored MLK’s dream of judging one by the the content of their character.

oops re: bg #23
forgot the link..
[A Rhodes Scholar is a holder of a Rhodes Scholarship at the University
of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The scholarships are awarded by the Rhodes Trust, endowed by the will of the imperialist statesman Cecil Rhodes and founded in 1902, and originally open to scholars from the British Empire, the United States and Germany. Scholars are eligible to study any postgraduate degree at Oxford (excluding MBA). Since the foundation of the trust, more than 7,000 Rhodes Scholars have attended Oxford.
"Cecil Rhodes directed that the selection of scholars should be based
on academic ability; sporting activity; qualities of personal rectitude, strength and compassion; and sense of the public good."[1]
Over time, the award has been increasingly given to liberal recipients lacking achievement in either sport or academics. For example, scholarship recipient Bill Clinton had no known sporting achievement and refused to release his suspect academic record either. He took the scholarship money for attending Oxford but could not earn a degree there.
In 2002, a Rhodes scholarship was awarded to Chesa Boudin, best known for being the child of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, who were members of the international terrorost group, the Weather Underground. Boudin and Gilbert are currently serving long sentences in prison for their part in the murder of two police officers and a guard “as the result of a robbery of a Brinks armored car in New York at the late, unradical date of 1981.”[2] Chesa expressed support for the views of his parents, “My parents were all dedicated to fighting U.S. imperialism around the world. I’m dedicated to the same thing.”]
btw i agree, he didn’t flunk out..
but imo, he’s a flunky non-the-less..

That’s weird, what did he think they were doing?
I note that 2010 is the end of the race hustler’s shuck and jive act. So yes, Obama did end the race division, it’s just that it left a few on the sidelines in the process.
Isn’t it odd to think, that if Obama really wanted things better for blacks, he would have spread the WDC voucher program to all 57 States, instead he terminated it … What does that tell you.

As a Christian, I get really tired of those that say “what would Jesus do” For one they presume to speak for Jesus, they think they know the answer to the question. How egotistical is that? He did say ” where two or more are gathered in my name, their I shall be also” NO MAN is without sin save one, and no one speaks for him. Those who presume to speak for him and not about him are just wrong.

I’m simply shocked that someone from the the utterly trustworthy Black Caucus wasn’t called a ni…er, a demeaning name by some racist from Beck’s rally.
Surely some poor, downtrodden black congressperson will come forward to describe the horrors to which they were subjected at the hands of w-h-i-t-e people.

Rob Gaudet commented:
I was at Dunbar High School and heard many speakers. Having been there, Ben J., Al S. and others were an extreme POV from that rally. There were also moderate speakers who spoke of the need to not use race as a crutch, to get a good education, to be responsible for yourself. One speaker even implored young people to pull up their pants. Why can’t we reach out to and report on the moderate, sensible members of the black community? Isn’t that what we would want to happen in regards to the Tea Party movement as well?
