NAACP STFU

The NAACP just doesn't know when to keep their mouth shut.
They are their own worst enemy, and they create issues where none exist.

I just read where the group is complaining that Kid Rock uses the Confederate Flag during his stage performance.

This is Kid Rock we're talking about here.
Love him or hate him, sensitivity isn't his calling card.
I've got his Rock n Roll Jesus CD and there's a song where the lyrics go something like this:
"...f*ck her in the nose; f*ck her in the toes"

And then he:
"f*cks hot p*ssy until it's cold"

So let's just agree that his music and/or show could indeed offend some people.

So why does a prominent group like the NAACP take such a ridiculous stance against a guy who may be a lot of things, but growing up in the Detroit rap music scene, a racist is likely not one of them.
And even if he were, a simple flag isn't cause for concern.

I guess with an African Ameican on Pennsylvania Ave, they must be getting bored...

The NAACP would better find relevance by loudly condemning the misogynist, racist, and violent lyrics in Rap music.

Well said. I despise what they say in much rap music (it's not all bad). The musicians (and many other blacks) throw around the N-word yet get angry and call me a racist if I use it. Think about all the words in the English language and all the other races: What other words exist that only one race/sex/creed/etc can use and no one else is allowed?

It won't be long before the Dukes of Hazzard are removed from TV because of the flag and rebel music.

What I just read on the matter is that **some members** of the Detroit NAACP are uncomfortable giving him an award that is to be presented at an upcoming charity dinner. They definitely have a right to complain and not to attend the dinner if the flag symbolizes something negative to them. They can also skip his shows. On the other hand, the Confederate Flag deeply upsets some people. Here in Central Florida, the Confederate Flag is displayed by red-neck bigots and the Klan. Brick wall

Yes it is rick. Like unions they've outgrown their initial need for exsistence. Without OUTRAGE and racial divide they loose power, influence and "walking around money".
Robert do you know they are all racists and klan or is that conjecture and assumption?

when someone speaks about anything, whether it is set to a drum rhythm or simply spoken in as a poem, with or without rhyme, pontificates his personal plight with any thing that he/she thinks affects his/her personal life he/she is not rapping, he/she is proclaiming.

rapping means two or more people are in conversation discussing anything.

i like fords.

i like chevys.

fords come in blue.

chevys look good in white.

that is an example of rapping.



i like hondas

that is an example of proclaiming



that crap that people call rap music, is neither.

that too is proclaiming

only the threat of unions have kept what is left of a middle class. eliminate that threat and we are back
to children working 10 hour days and more then a
40 hour work week with no protection for the workers.

store clerks in mexico get 25 cents or 50 cents an hour with no benefits and if they miss a day's work because they broke their arm, they7 are out of a job

asbestos
coal dust
hazardous waste

be proud of the people that gave their lives, being shot down walking a picket line to give you a decent standard of living

Rick. Do you know what percentage of workers are unionized? And you are aware that we have workplace safety laws and stuff?
your argument other than real sacrifices that were made in the PAST are crap. Excessive taxes regulation and nafta are to thank for the dissipating middle class. Try googleing bard owl and the real reason for spotted owl deaths.

Rick~ enviro wackos have effectively killed logging in oregon with lawsuit and regulations. The medium for this initially was the spotted owl. Now there is no scientific doubt their demise has been a result of more dominant Bard owls (invasive species btw).
Robert~ I was just giving you a hard time.

Well, maybe it's not written in the bylaws or anything. Let's just call it an unwritten law/purpose of the NAACP.

LOL
So if I see a guy/girl wearing a UAW hat/shirt I should buy them a meal or thank them for fighting for my standard of living by helping me to pay too much for a vehicle so I can pay for all their benefits and pensions? I should try that sometime.

According to Rickamaven:

"only the threat of unions have kept what is left of a middle class. eliminate that threat and we are back
to children working 10 hour days and more then a
40 hour work week with no protection for the workers."


If someone TRULY believes this then there is no use for further discussion.

It's beyond preposturous, is without merit or any supportive context, and does not reflect the reality of America circa 2011.

It's OK to think this way. But it's wrong to state it as fact.

Well, they've done a fine job. The FINALLY got off their asses after all those years and got a man of their own elected.
