The NAACP

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), an organization founded for the general good for the minority blacks in America. However, with time passing since its formation it has become corrupt and destructive to its ends. Now the NAACP has become a politically correct, mean-spirited, hypocrisy. The NAACP is currently an advocate of affirmative action, forced busing, quotas, and minority set-asides, programs and actions that have not improved race relations but have actually strained them. Preaching hate and intolerance and promoting the removal or banning of anything they "feel" is racist or insulting is also another objective of this once moral organization.

To take a look at the NAACP's hate and intolerance, we just have to look at how hard they push for the total removal of anything that is Southern, particularly Confederate, from public view. The NAACP holds the false notion that the Confederate South fought and died for slavery.1) In 1990 the NAACP sued in Alabama for the removal of the Confederate Flag from atop the state capital, however, this attempt failed. Nonetheless the Flag was removed shortly thereafter because of pressure from the NAACP and other "civil rights" organizations. The NAACP has also threatened and has boycotted South Carolinian businesses because of the Confederate Flag that flies over their Statehouse. Furthermore, the NAACP advocates the removal of the Confederate Flag from the state flags of Georgia and Mississippi, luckily they have not succeeded, yet. Flags are not the only things targeted by the NAACP; monuments, dedications, street names, school names, etc. are also being aimed at.2) They will not rest until all paraphernalia pertaining to the Confederate South are out of view from the public site.

The NAACP states they are only "merely attempting to exercise their fundamental constitutional rights". Is it someone's constitutional right to eradicate another people's history and heritage? The answer is clearly "No!". However, that is exactly what the NAACP is doing, waging a campaign of cultural genocide against the South and her Confederate history. To plainly see the NAACP's spite and hate all one has to do is read their 1991 Anti-Confederate Flag Resolution:

VII. INTERNAL AFFAIRS1. Resolution Abhorring the Confederate Battle Flag on State Flags Approved WHEREAS, the tyrannical evil symbolized in the Confederate Battle Flag is an abhorrence to all Americans and decent people of this country, and indeed, the world and is an odious blight upon the universe; and, WHEREAS, African-Americans, had no voice, no consultation, no concurrence, no commonality, not in fact nor in philosophy, in the vile conception of the Confederate Battle Flag or State Flags containing the ugly symbol of idiotic white supremacy, racism and denigration; and, WHEREAS, we adamantly reject the notion that African-Americans should accept this flag for any stretch of imagination or approve its presence on the State Flags; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the national Office of the NAACP and all units commit their legal resources to the removal of the Confederate Flag from all public properties.

This resolution is filled with historical lies and falsehoods and mainly with intolerance and hate. While there are organizations that abuse the Confederate Flag, these organizations have no right to use the Confederate Flag for their foul deeds.3) True Southerners, and Americans in general, of good will should display the flag in a positive way to counter-act the effect that the flag's misuse by hate groups has on public opinion, and on the NAACP, regarding our Southern banner.4)

To enter the political arena, the NAACP is one of the leading politically correct, leftist special interest groups. The NAACP has backed plans such as affirmative action, forced busing, quotas, and minority set-asides, and continues to do so even when the programs are proven to result negatively. Even education is not spared from the NAACP's bigoted finger. The NAACP has been advocating the removal and banning of the classic Mark Twain novel "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and others because of the usage of the word "n*gger" and having slaves as characters. In one case, a school in California performed the musical "Huckleberry" and was boycotted by the NAACP because in the play Negro students were cast as slaves. The Association called this "demeaning".

As has been shown throughout this paper the NAACP, a once useful, moral, and honest organization, has now become a mean-spirited, bigoted, intolerant organization. Waging a cultural cleansing against the South and her heritage and playing their politically correct hand in what they deem necessary has greatly corrupted this association. Instead of teaching honesty, hard work and the historical truth, about blacks and also the War for Southern Independence, the NAACP has resorted to yelling "racism" and "bigotry".5)End Notes 1. The South fought for constitutional liberty and their homes during the War for Southern Independence. Only around 5% of Southerners owned slaves, and thousands of blacks owned fellow blacks in the South. There was also an estimated 90,000 blacks in the Confederate Armies, thousands fighting alongside their fellow Confederate soldiers. 2. Already in Virginia, Louisiana, and other states, schools and streets with names such as Washington, Davis, Lee, etc. are being changed. Political correctness at work. 3. White supremacist groups such as the KKK sometimes use the Confederate Flag for their own purposes, however, these groups represent in no way the reasons why the South fought the War. In fact, many Southerners despise such organizations. It is proven that he KKK is now nothing but a mere cracker line south of the Mason-Dixon Line. 4. The NAACP has stated that black people cannot be racist because to be racist one must have power over a victim. According to the NAACP, black Americans do not have power over white Americans therefore any crimes committed against a white person by a black cannot be racist. 5. This paper is the work of an individual who is NOT racist, hateful, or spiteful. The author is deeply concerned for America and the South.

This essay is in no way intended to stereotype all blacks as those of the NAACP. This paper is intended to bring to light the wrong doings of the NAACP.
