We're not hibernating. Just really sleepy...
01.02.2009 - Happy New Year!
Finally off our lazy arses and fixing some things.
Fixes include:
- If you're not angry then just say so. Thanks to the poster who pointed out the lack of smileys.
- Click on an individual vent's flavor (category) to see all vents that taste just like it.
- Today's Action is working.
Obama, the NAACP, and Lies
Obama has nothing going for him other than being a good orator (If reading a teleprompter is being a good orator) and being a minority.
Everyone is applauding that we are being so progressive to elect a black president.
It annoys me how the black community has spent decades preaching equality. MLK said that he dreamed of a day when all men would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Take your own advice NAACP, SCLC, and other African American Organizations. Stop preaching how it is time for us to have a black president while at the same time preaching it doesn't matter what color sombody's sin is.
During the main push of the civil rights movement, and in the following years organizations like the NAACP had a purpose and a noble goal. To provide for the advancement of people of color that had actually been oppressed.
No one is being oppressed in today's society for being black, asian, or any other ethnicity.
Organizations like the NAACP pushed for a program called affirmative action. Which simply stated that companies, businesses, and other programs had to hire a certain number of minority candidates.
This has done a terrible disservice to the African American community. I would be ashamed to apply for a job if I were black under affermative action. Without affirmative action, businesses had to hire the best applicant. With affirmative action it is impossible to know if you were hired because of the content of you character or the color of your skin.
People can argue to this day about the equality of white and black society, but the fact of the matter is that in the America of today every person has the same opportunity regardless of skin color to fulfill their hopes and dreams. There are poor people in both races that have a disadvantage, and there are wealthy people in both races that it is easier for them to fulfill their dreams.
Equality exists. The NAACP and other groups that are pushing for equality have succeeded. Once equality is reached anything further is superiority. That makes the NAACP the new KKK. While they are not inspired by the hate and evil intentions that the KKK was and is, the NAACP still wants a similar thing, the increased support for the African American Community, and the cost of the others.
The NAACP does not seek it means through the fear and threat of violence that the KKK uses. The NAACP only uses threat of legal action.
If someone were to argue the lack of inequality for the African American community. I would arque the following.
Are there any policies promoting the hiring, or admissions of white students.
Alpha Phi Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Black Student Council, and other African American organizations are hypocritical to policies and goals of the NAACP.
Would it be allowed to have a White Student Council, a Caucasian Caucus, NAAWP, Fraternities and Sororities promoting White Heritage. What is there were scholarships that were promoted solely for White Males?
The only thing holding back the black community are these organizations focusing on fixing the problem from the outside and not the inside.
Listening to other members of the black community talk about Obama representing black community and the pouring out of support from Oprah and other members just because he is black.
NAACP if Obama is elected, wheel out your aircraft carrier announce "Mission Accomplished". If a black person can get a nomination from one of the parties, then you have no case for inequality.
