Leader of NAACP chapter in Washington state is actually White

[quiller]

Many things are unstated; but easily understood. The fact that people think something is "odd" about the entire situation is one of those unstated things. Some people find the oddness in the fact that a white person pretended to be black; whereas a black person pretending to be white is an old element in this countries history. Obviously there were advantages to being white, from the reaction one would believe that there are no advantages in being black. In the old movie "Soul Man", not only did he get the scholarship, but along with it came a number of assumptions about blacks.

Along with your post came an assumption that some sort of "code" is used. This accusation forms a central point in your thinking. It's not quite as injurious as true blood-libel (whites eat babies, etc.) but it's none the less pernicious.

You've mentioned you're a Long Island resident and are therefore probably living better than 75% of the Detroiters whose own rolling-crime-scene of a city has become an open joke about urban crime and efforts to halt it. Scarcely a day goes by but some loon blames Whitey for daring to leave blacks in charge. It's our fault, not the street thug boosting cars or electrical copper or anything else they can find.

Solution? More cops. Result? We're racist for sending them, and if that officer is black he or she is also a race traitor or Uncle Tom or worse. Why is it "code" to ask the obvious? If blacks actually DO want to cut crime in their own neighborhoods, then why do it without cops --- and without cops, how far do they think they'll get, against armed drug lords?

Is there an advantage in wanting LESS police in notoriously high-crime black inner cities? If so, please elucidate. Why are blacks blaming everyone but themselves for the problems this permissiveness (or apathy, or fear, or name-your-reason) wind up causing?

I suggest it is now time to move this thread to the "Nut House". We don't have dog in this hunt.

Thanks. Let us know when you are back as a Caucasian.

The NAACP was founded in the Jim Crow period, so to expect them not to be interested in racial politics is asinine.

Interesting... I have often heard (from Liberals) that there is no such thing as "race". That what we think of a "race" is merely a social construct.

If there is no such thing as race, then there can be no such things as racism or racists...

...or racial politics.
