New York State - A Big State With A Misfocused Battle Front
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People shows, once again, that the organization in its present form is incompetent to lead the Black community in addressing the REAL issues that are damaging the Black community.
NAACP wants NY Post editor and cartoonist fired
NEW YORK — The head of the NAACP on Saturday urged readers to boycott the New York Post, calling a cartoon that the newspaper published an invitation to assassinate President Barack Obama.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called on the tabloid to remove editor-in-chief Col Allan, as well as longtime cartoonist Sean Delonas.
Earlier this week, the newspaper apologized to anyone who might have been offended by the image printed Wednesday, which some say likens Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police in Connecticut.
Jealous said the cartoon was "an invitation to assassination."
What a surprise - the NAACP seeks to have the editor and cartoonist from the NY Post fired as a result of the feigned outrage over the cartoon that appeared in the post. In this latest volley a la "Lipstick On A Pig" the NAACP, given open reign to pick and choose its area of focus for problems that impact Black people - has once again went left, when the clear pathway was LOOKING AHEAD!!
Again - my tactic is to not to try and stop or counter-protest in support of the "offending entity" to which the NAACP and other Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chasing forces seek to go after as they purport to focus upon the best interests of the Black community.
Instead I pull out my own list of priorities and make note of their SILENCE on important issues that are materially impacting Black people.
Let's take a drive over to Rochester NY to see a grossly missed opportunity for this organization.
Rochester mom arrested, accused of sneaking kids into Greece Schools
You see here is a Google Search result on the words "Rochester NY", "NAACP" and "Yolanda Miranda", the Black woman who was charged with sneaking her daughter out of the failing public schools of Rochester, NY and seeking higher quality education in the neighboring "Greece School District".
Google Search: Results - No Results found
You see - If the NAACP was to show up on this front - it would come as no surprise that they would focus on attacking the authorities that charged this Black mother with a crime.
All the while this same organization would MISS THE POINT!!
The missed point is that the conditions of the schools in Rochester NY are subpar thus motivating Ms. Miranda to vacate for more quality education.
With the presence of a single party run town of Rochester New York and that party being the favored party of the NAACP, effectively there are no "exploitable surfaces" to go after in pursuit of their agenda. Just as the NAACP in Prince Georges County saw fit to have a joint press conference rather than a protest against the government who allowed a Black prisoner to be killed while under their care, here too they are not inclined to go against their ideological and party soulmates in pursuit of justice and quality education for the Black people in Rochester NY.
Let me be clear. I HATE people who craft "Straw Men" for them to tear down. I ask anyone to make the case that it is UNREASONABLE for me to look at these two conflicts that are impacting Black people, both of which are centered upon New York state, yet expect the NAACP to focus on the most IMPACTFUL rather than the most EXPLOITABLE option?
