The NAACP

JIMMIE SIMMONS

ADVERTISEMENTS

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to me, is racist-sounding. As a personal example, in my younger days, I was a red-head having an abundance of freckles (with freckles remaining to this day). Now if someone had come along and suggested my starting a national organization for people like me, say, the National Organization for the Advancement of Red-Headed Freckled-Faced Boys (NAARHFFB), I would probably, not a little, be put off.

Actually, it offended me when people called me Red, Carrot Top, Red on the Head blah blah blah blah blah blah (XXX), Freckles, and so forth. My mother named me Jimmie Lee, not Red something or other, I would say, to no avail, of course.

A high school basketball upper-classman team-mate would occasionally refer to me as Red Bird which, for some reason, I didn�t mind. His being a few inches taller and a little bulkier than myself, of course, surely couldn�t have had any effect on my non-responses.

I can also visualize a cute little blonde, brunette, or red-head of those days cooing sweet nothings in my ear, prefixed or suffixed with any of the above mentioned derogatory slang references, as not bothering me in the least. Go figure�

Now, where was I going with this?

Oh yeah; the NAACP, during its recent national convention at St. Louis, in addition to hanging onto the every utterance of Michelle Obama, I�m sure, also found the time to denigrate, of all things, the Tea Party, or the Tea Party Movement, or a sign somebody once saw at a Tea Party gathering (which they interpreted as) denigrating Colored People in some way. Something like that.

In my numerous attendances to Tea Party events, I�ve seen lots of signs, most of them close to the genius category, most of them hitting the nail directly on the head. Those people are focused and cutting edge. Now it is possible, no, probable, that if some one or some larger number of liberal elected officials happened also to be Colored, the chances are very good that signs have been made and seen at Tea events not complimentary to those liberal Colored elected officials.

For every one-sign directed to Colored figures, you would see a hundred directed to Caucasian figures who also needed the friendly or not-so-friendly reminder of what We the People and our constitution expected.

The burr under the NAACP saddle, as I see it is they (NAACP people) think the Tea Party is all about Obama. Guilty conscience? Or, are Coloreds exempt from criticism?

Yes, it is about Obama, and George W before him, and about Slick Willy before him, and about George Herbert Walker Bush before him. Not about Reagan.

It�s about Peanut Carter, and about Watergate Nixon, certainly about LBJ and a little about John Kennedy.

Not much about Eisenhower, even Harry S. Truman, but a ton about FDR-style socialism and Hoover dumbism. Harding and Coolidge aren�t talked about very much at Tea events, but Woodrow Wilson, though he was in the kitchen for only the income tax, the Federal Reserve taking over for the U.S. Treasury and Congress, and World War I, is otherwise not mentioned.

So it goes. You know yours truly will bring up "Honest" Abe Lincoln at every opportunity as being the kingpin responsible for the troublesome mega government now seated in Washington, instead of little governments in all 57, er, 50 states, as envisioned by the founding fathers .

So it goes; yes, the Tea Party is not happy with Barack Hussein Obama; not at all! But neither is it all that happy about many other American presidents and elected officials; and we don�t mind saying so and going about trying to have most current ones replaced. In fact, we insist on saying so, irregardless of what the NAACP says or doesn�t say or think. We cannot help that Obama is half Caucasian, half Colored. Tea would be on him, regardless of his skin color, for his socialist and Marxist, big central government ways.

It would be nice if the NAACP looked on presidents and other elected officials, not for their skin color, but for their adherence to the constitutions of the states and nation. May Yahweh God bless through Yashua the Christ.
