    If anyone cares to notice, I was replying to EdwardC's "maybe."

    I think they noticed that your statement was crazy to compare cross burner to a civil rights group.

    Are you not going to repudiate or clarify your equating the NAACP with the KKK?

    Was that what you intended, or are we misunderstanding you?

    Read the "maybe" I wrote in context of the "maybe" to which I was responding. Inuendo can work both ways. However, the "NAACP" thread lends credence to my reversed inuendo. Where is your sense of subtlety and irony?

    So you're sticking with the comparison. Really?

    Where is your sense of decency?

    Why not? The comparison is spot on -- the white klan and the black klan, opposite sides of the same coin, both wedded to racism as their only reason for existence. If racism dies, both organizations die.

    You don't know what the NAACP is about. Their organization is not built around racism, no matter what this tunnel visioned lady said. She is not the whole organization.

    The KKK has stated objectives that are racist. The NAACP does not.

    The Sixties are over. Take off the rose-colored glasses. Race is the only thing they are about. Without it, no platform. No platform, no funding.

    I am not aware of the NAACP hanging any white boys, either.

    Actually they do a lot in education as well.

    Weird, wild stuff.

    I'm starting to understand how you associate with a group that compares the President of the United States to Hitler.

    It's so simple now. You're crazy.

    I wish you still had relevance, Batman. It's so much fun tipping your sacred cows. :grin:

    Yep, you're right. The 60's are over. It's amazing that after that all racism just disappeared. There is no need for any group to combat racism anymore. Brilliant observation on your part.

    Like I said, you don't know what the NAACP are about. Thank you for confirming it.

    Actually, you are right. There is no need for any group to combat racism anymore. Once upon a time, this certainly was not true. Groups like the NAACP inspired laws changed an historic wrong. However, like the EEOC, their time has passed, and, IMO, they now do more harm than good.

    That is my assertion because now, for example, if someone disagrees with Obama's policies, he or she is automatically tagged a racist. Racism is trotted out for advantage on a daily basis, so much so that the tactic has now evolved into reverse racism.

    The NAACP pushes racism as a sacred cow. Like the KKK, they are committed to keeping racism alive to generate funding. Like sex, hate sells. It's time to end the hating.
