Mfume to apologize to Paige for NAACP snub
Ramblings Journal

Kweisi Mfume, head of the NAACP, is going to "apologize personally" for the NAACP national office's insistance that US Secretary of Education Rod Paige be disinvited to speak at the Ohio NAACP's annual conference.

Kweisi Mfume is president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He says he was "appalled" when he found out about the snub on Friday.
He says the national organization never ordered the withdrawal.

He called the decision by the group's Ohio State Conference wrong.

Paige at first was invited to talk about education reforms, but the organization rescinded that on Tuesday because of a perceived political imbalance on the panel.

Partisan? Yep. They're definitely partisan against anyone or anything conservative.
After all, Paige left the Plantation. They figure they've gotta do him in.
