The NAACP's Masturbation Exercise

I am sorry, "National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People Version 2009", it is all my fault.

You see I keep looking to you for actual leadership in addressing the priority problems that do material damage to the Black community. I guess that my image of you that has been burned into my mind via the history books that I have read has me looking at you in your previous form rather than the form that you are in today. It is my fault. It won't continue to happen.

You see it is up to me to CHANGE. If the priorities in addressing the problems in Black America are so divergent between the people who support you versus the Black people who think like me then the burden is upon my shoulders to develop a more EFFECTIVE coalition of Black people and of all Americans, for that matter, who see your ineffectiveness as "Rome burns" in so many places within the Black community.

You see, NAACP, I have no control over you. The actions of shredding your monetary solicitation requests that I execute is nothing more than a personal act of rejection of your tactics that are so clear to me. They don't do anything in particular to get you to change.

Instead the most effective thing that I can do to show other Black people your present character is for me to keep enumerating the Critical Challenges that the Black Community presently faces and then to evaluate you to see if you even show up. You see this priority list prevents me or anyone else from constructing a "straw man" by which I hold you up to some ARBITRARY standard only to tear you down.

I have listened to various Black people, across the ideological spectrum. I also watch the news and have compiled a series that I call "What Is Making Black People Cry Today". Thus the framework that I have constructed attempts to measure you and other activists upon your attention to 4 key elements:

1. Educational Quality For The Black Community
2. Safe Streets Within The Black Community (This Includes Justice For Black Victims)
3. Robust Economic Development For The Black Community
4. Healthy Lifestyles Within The Community

It is my opinion that the greatest set of provable "Civil Rights Violations" hoisted upon Black people in 2009 come from OTHER BLACK PEOPLE. In as much as you are a biased organization, smitten by "Non-White White Supremacy" the systematic violation of the Civil Rights Of Black People BY BLACK PEOPLE does not rise to the level of threat as when White people do the very same thing, being motivated by the very same principles.

When I evaluate your latest coordinated event over the NY Post cartoon it only serves to highlight what I already know about you.

Your scope is limited to certain issues of marginal IMPORTANCE to the Black community in the long run (what I call "comprehensiveness) but which play well in regards to that which is a POPULAR and CHARGED ISSUE among certain factions of the Black community.

This latest mobilization effort was more about "You" ('you" the NAACP that is) than it was about the fulfillment of any particular measurable objective. Certainly not a single one of the 4 elements in the framework above were addressed. Instead you were able to forge a protest against one of favorite targets of the "Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chasers" - the New Corporation and its affiliate - Fox News.

It just so happens that Fox News and the NY Post are conservative oracles and thus stand opposed to many of the agenda items of the BQPFRC and the Democratic machine that you all are in service to. If you hit the conservative voice, charging it with racism, you score a masturbatory victory within your troops as you have "found the enemy and you know which cable channel he broadcasts upon".

I laughed as I saw your attached self congratulatory press release calling for "diversity" and "fairness in reporting". You are not a supporter of either. You only want to have YOUR perspectives added to those newsrooms which don't provide sympathy for your views. If we were to make an accounting of the various Black news papers affiliated with the National Newspapers Publishers Association or even do a poll of the attendees of last summers "Unity Conference" among Black journalists you would find little THOUGHT DIVERSITY or fairness in expressing the "other side" that is counter to the present "Black Establishment".

This "Black Establishment" has a firm grip over the elected and activist seats that control all of the institutions where Black people live in concentration. Any district that has more than a 35% Black voting population is controlled by this same political machine which is an appendage of the Democratic Party.

As such, in careful scrutiny of these same locations to see if you "show up" and "speak truth to power" - this serves as the biggest indictment against your agenda. In Rochester NY, just as the "NY Post Chimp" cartoon was going around - a Black mother was arrested for removing her daughter from the failing Rochester school system and placing her in a neighboring system in pursuit of quality education. No doubt had you shown up - you would have raised a protest against the school system that arrested the Black mother for "theft of services", making the case that she was only pursing the best interests of her own daughter. I agree with this specific focus. This should not be a felony arrest.

HOWEVER, your bias would not afford you the thought of going back tot he Rochester NY school board, city council and elected mayor and protesting against them for FAILING the academic interests of this mother, her daughter and the other parents and students in this majority Black school system. Per my own research - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS LISTED ABOVE ARE DEMOCRATS!!!!! We both know from your joint press conference with the government of Prince Georges County MD after a Black inmate was killed while in their custody that the NAACP doesn't protest "favorable governments" that are populated with your "permanent friends" even when they assault the "permanent interests" of the Black community. Thus - I am none too surprised that these failing school systems which Black parents are seeking to escape don't trigger protest actions. The same thing is the case in Clayton County Georgia. This school system which is ran by 100% Democrats lost its accreditation. This has prompted several Black parents to take their kids down to Republican dominated Henry and Fayette County, only to face prosecution for "theft of services".

Do you see the COST of your bias, NAACP?

You are a "protest organization"
We as a Black community need a "management organization'.

In as much as in 2009 the Black community has more "Permanent Friends" in power, representing the community's interests - your voice in pursuit of our PERMANENT INTERESTS seems to be afflicted with laryngitis.

I suspect that your News Corporation protests are nothing more than your attempt to say "See....THEY are still out there. Don't lose confidence in our leadership that dominates the Black community........if we refrain from our vigilance......THEY might come back and strike out against us".

In as much as the Black community continues to be fooled by your disposition toward outward focus - the won't notice the destruction from the termites within.

Note: Please save your postage and stop sending me solicitations. Why would I fund an organization that does not have my interests in mind?
