National Black Pro-Life Union Says NAACP Gets it Wrong over Resolution Against Tea Party Racism

National Black Pro-Life Union condemns NAACP and Ben Jealous over resolution to condemn Tea Party over racist elements, says they are engaging in partisan politics in favor of President Barack Obama.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has come under criticism in many quarters for its resolution calling out the racist elements in the elements in the Tea Party movement. I also believe the NAACP missed an opportunity to speak at the time that resolution was passed to condemn the New Black Panther Party, instead of President & CEO Ben Jealous being forced to condemn the group's actions on the Geraldo Riviera Show on Fox News last Saturday. I cannot condemn the entire Tea Party movement because the racist elements are a small part and they are found in every party -- Republican, Democratic, Libertarian and the Green Party. There is another element of this resolution that has riled Day Gardner and the National Black Pro-Life Union -- why would Ben Jealous speak out so vehemently about the racism in the Tea Party. Here's an excerpt from the press release:

Why would Mr. Jealous speak out so adamantly in opposition to the Tea Party Movement now?

I think there are a few reasons. First of all, I think the racism thing is just a thin, wispy smoke screen used in an effort to conceal the fact that there is a huge concern throughout the United States about the policies of President Obama. Many Americans feel like I do--that the Obama administration is clueless--failing and even ruining our country.

Secondly, this is also an election year and many Tea Party endorsed candidates are not only winning primaries--some are favored to win at the polls in November. Enter Mr. Jealous. Even though the NAACP is supposed to be non-partisan, they are obviously and continually nestled in the pocket of the liberal Democratic Party.

If anyone dares to oppose President Obama on anything at all--like the big bailouts, the trillion dollar debt amassed since he took office, joblessness, forced Obamacare or the fact that he supports using our hard earned tax dollars to kill unborn children by abortion--they risk being labeled racists.

I, for one, believe that the NAACP needs to reinvent itself or disband. I have wondered how they could ignore the plight in the black community, including escalating gun violence, in exchange for partisan activities.
