NAACP hearts klansman, hates a black man

Earlier, I mocked the NAACP’s praise of former Exalted Cyclops Robert C. Byrd. Incredibly, the NAACP press release called Byrd a champion of civil rights.

Byrd later expressed regrets for being a klansman and for opposing Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s.

Now comes this from Jim Hoft’s update of a previous post: The NAACP is condemning Kenneth Gladney for not being black enough.

Gladney was beat up by union thugs last summer for daring to oppose Obamacare.

Via Jim Hoft, the words of an NAACP spokesman: “Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.”

A European?

Not black enough?

Goodness. You wonder what Martin Luther King thinks of all this racism from a group that once was a force for the betterment of mankind.
