NAACP Wants To Honor Kid Rock, Faces Boycott
Group Says Rock Uses Symbol Of Hate At Concerts

DETROIT -- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wants to honor Kid Rock at its annual Freedom Fund dinner at Cobo Conference and Exhibition Center in Detroit.

The NAACP said it wants to recognize Rock for his commitment to Detroit.

However, not everyone agrees Kid Rock should be recognized by the NAACP.

"Kid Rock has made the Confederate flag a symbol at all his concerts," said Adolph Mongo of Detroiters for Progress. "It's been a problem since 2005."

Mongo said he and the rest of his group plan to protest the dinner if Kid Rock is honored because the flag is a symbol of hate, and the NAACP should not be honoring anyone who waves it proudly.

rips off Warren Zevon songs and calls them his own?

2. The NAACP honored Colin Powell last night despite his WMD lies and conspiracy

to commit war that he and numerous other Bush admin. officials committed prior to the still continuing Iraq disaster. The NAACP honored Powell with a citizenship award which raises the big question: is a person who conspires to commit war, supports torture, lies to the UN and tries to cover it all up really the type of citizen America needs as a representative?
