NAACP celebrates the freedom to shout “God damn America”
The Detroit chapter of the NAACP has chosen a keynote speaker for its annual “Freedom Fund” dinner. It’s Barack Obama’s crazy uncle-like spiritual guru–the “illustrious leader,” Jeremiah Wright:
Controversial minister Jeremiah Wright will speak at the Detroit branch of the NAACP 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund dinner.
AdvertisementWright, the former minister of presidential candidate Barack Obama, has been under fire for remarks he’s made during his sermons about race relations, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and black separatism. He recently retired as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, a 10,000-member megachurch located in Chicago.
The Fight for Freedom dinner, which annually attracts about 10,000 people, will be held April 27 at Cobo Hall. The gathering is a key fund-raiser for the Detroit Branch NAACP, and is billed as the largest sit-down dinner in the country.
Jim Hoft: “It was not disclosed if the Reverend Wright would be selling tapes of his sermons after the event.”
No need to sell them. The America-trashing, race-baiting sermons are already seared into the NAACP leaders’ brains.

So, this is how the NAACP is keeping themselves in the news these days. JW is a fanatic and if the NAACP wants to associate with him, let them. However, I pray that the day will come when black people realize who really has their best interest at heart. It most certainly isn’t this so-called black leadership.
Oh, I am so happy that Rev. Wright will stay in the news a little bit longer. I was afraid people would forget about him.
The Fight for Freedom dinner, which annually attracts about 10,000 people…
And how many will shout him down as a racist?
Zero. Exactly.
The NAACP associates with radical racists?!?
When did this start?
I’m shocked, shocked I tells ya’.
N double A C Crap.
Biggest bunch of turd burpers on the planet, why wouldnt they choose wright?
he’s perfect for them.
The NAACP should change their name to the NASCP. The S stands for stagnation.
Next to the whole demoncratic party, the NAACP does nothing but promote hate and race bait for their own benefit.
If they(and the demoncrats) would just tell African Americans “if you want something, get up off your asses and achieve it for yourself like EVERY OTHER group has”, you would see how fast the black community would prosper.
Hey NAACP…
…stop the “Wo is Me” bullchit. It’s getting old.
Even with the boneheads and illegal invader enablers that McCain is surrounding himself with I am glad to see the questionable Christian, but outspoken openly racist Reverend Wright keeps himself front and center in the news. The more and more I see of the Obaminations spiritual advisors the easier it might be for me to done some Chemical Warfare Gear to pull the lever for McCain come November (not that there is much of a chance of that at this point). This event doesn’t make the NAACP look to tolerant when it comes to the advancement of racial harmony either.

I don’t think ’some’ people who vote will forget about RW. We won’t forget about bho’s wifee either. Just keep them both up front in the news, talking.

You want to see where the vast majority of racism comes from in 2008? Just look at the NAACP, the new and old black panthers, the so called “reverend” Wright and those like him and an ever increasing number of black people that don’t even bother to deny their hatred for white people and this country.
They smash us over the head daily with political correctness and we continue to accept the guilt for thing we did not do in this generation. At the same time white people tolerate anything said about them while blacks scream racism at every turn and spew the most hate filled crap you will ever hear.
Do you see race relations improving? I don’t and I don’t think they want it to improve. What they seem to want is complete submission to whatever they feel makes up for the wrongs they have experienced in their lives.
I have only one question. Will our children and grandchilder have to continue appologizing to blacks?
I’m to the point where black people can just shove it up their ass.
Yep, keep em in the headlines…don’t ever wanna forget these racists and who it is that looks up to them…Mr. and Mrs. Obami maybe?
Why is it so hard for the American people to condemn JW for what he actually is? How are Wright’s sermons construed to be beneficial to the “advancement of colored people”?
Honestly folks, what is going on?
I celibrate Wright’s right to say “God Damn America”. My ancesters died for that right. I spent two years in the Army for that right.
But it shows just how out of touch the NAACP really is. The statement is an insult to most Americans and it is these Americans that Obama needs to get elected. So they are now sabotaging Obama’s election. I think they have played the victim so long, it is too scary for them to think of a President who is half black.
I spoke with a colleague in Detroit, a died-in-the-wool Dem who hobnobs with Dem royalty for the past 20 years. Even HE said he cannot bring himself to vote Dem this election. Shrillary is a “pathological liar”, in his words but with which I agree, of course, and then, when it comes to Obama, my colleage advises that the Rev. Wright issue is so offensive to him (himself Jewish) that he can’t vote for B.O.
He thinks B.O. is full of B.S. for saying that he didn’t know about his pastor’s racist, America-hating rants.
He’s going with McCain.
A few bad apples spoils the bushel.
It’s not “the man” keeping black Americans down, it’s race baiters like the NAACP, Jesse, Al and Wright.
Advancement? Riiight. Maintaining the status quo keeps these bigots in power.

Check this out folks… enlightening.
I may drive up there and attend wearing my “Typical White Guy” tee shirt.
Message from GOD; (what HE might say)
“Keep damning me. Keep the hate up.
Keep using My Name to display your hatred and racist attitudes for all the blessings I have bestowed on the USA.
YOUR days are numbered. You belong to ME - when it is all said and DONE.”
Nothing does more to destroy civil liberty in America by the actions of those who gleefully condemn it in the public view by association with the vile and ridiculous.
It’s like Larry Flynt standing up for Motherhood - unlikely even if possible.
The leaders of the NAACP have to keep it running.That’s where their payday comes from.
“Dyed-in-the-wool”, I mean.
Just today, I had to fill out a survey regarding equal opportunity in the military. It focused my attention on my experiences in the military over a twenty year career. The only individuals I have ever had exposure to that have whined about racism were the underachievers. Oddly enough, the vast majority of Marines I have worked with never experienced any racism and have had productive and enriching careers. While I realize other results may vary, I think it has become an excuse for one’s own failures.

A loud Voice calls out from the heavens, simultaneously heard around the world: “I bless Israel. I bless America … and all nations that promote freedom. I bless all Christians who love Me and follow the example set by My son. I bless all Jews who love Me and keep My commandments. … I bless all people who love Me and who love your neighbors as yourselves.”
What would be the global reactions?
It is really quite simple. People like Wright must keep blacks down. If they lose the claim to victimhood, racebaiters lose their income. Why would anyone want to take responsiblity for what happens to them when you can blame the acts of those hundreds of years ago. On another note. Wonder what the chances are Obama’s fathers side of the family were slave traders back in the day?
Birds of a feather…
I feel like the NAACP has just given me the finger.
Fly and poop together!
Whether you are black or white, you are correct, they have.
You mean the NAACP, otherwise know as the Black Society for Perpetual Victimhood has decided to go for media hype with a guy like Wright? Well, I’ll be darned! I thought their speaker was sure to be their dear resident epitomy of black blamelessness Mayor Kilpatrick.
I work for a big city welfare department. This city is 6% black, but our welfare population is 65% black. We hear the same whine every day: “It’s mine”. “You owe it to me”. “No, I ain’t gonna do s**t and f**k your rules”. Sadly, this state keeps aiding these people who refuse to work, refuse to try to look for work, and refuse to be trained to do anything. It’s the plantation on full view for all to see.
Every ethnic group in the world lives here, but blacks are the only ones who are constantly “demanding” this or that.
The crack babies of the 80s are now having kids. We see them here, brain dead thug children who carry guns at 12. We call them “feral children”.
They are going to tear our inner cities apart in a few years.
Good! Maybe he will say something stupid again and get back into the news.
Thanks romeo13 for the link.
Folks take the time and listen to bho’s rant-my intial comment that the racists have gone from sheets to clergy collars and suits still stands.

You too should celebrate freedom of speech. Otherwise nobody would let Ann Coulter spread her hateful lied on campus.
what lgm, Ann Coulters truth hurts?
lgm, you must have missed something. We actually want this racist moron to keep spewing his vile racist remarks. It brings down Obama’s numbers and keeps Hillary in the race. Please now, share some of these lies with us that you were stating Ann is spreading on college campuses.
I do celebrate freedom of speech, lgm.
Only liberals try to stop those they agree with from speaking. Too damaging to their propaganda. I disagree with much of what Ann says but she has as much right as anyone else to do so without being assaulted by idiots throwing pies at her. Wouldn’t you agree?
Watch what happens when people respond to the troll. Pretty soon all the responses carry quotes from them and I stop reading from boredom. It takes two people to argue and if we just leave them alone, they’ll take their insanity someplace else and the adults will be able to talk again. Please don’t feed the trolls.
Just a reminder why the NAACP started. Folks, I have taken flack for this before but using the race card against Obama will fail. Look at the date, August 15th just 10 days prior to the Democratic Convention. Even if Hillary makes it that far, with the race issue being pushed on the Right, all Obama would have to due is give another speech in Springfield, Il. on that day.
Beat him on his policies. Oops, forgot we got McInsane.
so they shouldn’t have the right to say God Damn America?
What year, 1863?
Note - a black Harvard educated millionaire lawyer is running for President - when will he be free?
If you all don’t like America, NAACLP, Africa could surely use you. They have a great need for you to help get their countries together. Think of all those bros/sistas that would welcome your assistance. You might turn out to be heroes there. Better that, than staying in some really racist country, right? Oh, I guess you can’t make much money and have the gov’t MSM worship you there, damning whitey and the country you moved into.
NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
does he even know what group he’s speaking for???…NAACP should at least advance the name of its group…must be whitey’s fault for holding them back…
waddya want to bet they pulled G D Wright off the circuit long enough to TRAIN HIM how to TALK NICE?
WHY?
So he can talk nice at an NCAA dinner.
So Obama can once and for all say…
“See , my pastor (ex or not) is really a great guy, you only saw 30 seconds of bad stuff, the rest of the time he is just wonderful. See how great he was at the NCAA din din? Thats how I remember him.”
Just wait and see, this IS a set up.
talk nice at an NCAA dinner. ?? whooops.
NAACP , not college sports.
NAACP, the CP stands for “Colored People” no? But I thought the term colored was outdated & not PC…
How about NAAAA, change the “Colored People” to “African Americans” (excluding Teresa Carey of course)…
Anyway, yes this is a set up, and no the NAACP is kinda conservative anyway
so this should be interesting.
Confirmed (not particularly needed, but its nice to be right about stuff now and then) that the NAACP is out on the skinny branches*. They are as tired and outmoded as their name’s self-identification.
*CYA: I use skinny branches as in poor rhetorical judgement, not as in monkey playground. I categorically reject that double entendre. But if the shoe fits, resentment at being a butt of jokes is encouraged.

** CAN’T WE PLEASE GET A BETTER CLASS OF TROLL? **
Please refresh my memory about the role the NAACP is playing in the implementation of Jamiel’s Law and refresh my memory why our court discriminates agains non black ethnic groups to the advantage of a group that so hates America and other peoples. Is despondent the name of that dog in the Jamiel’s Law fight.
What’s the “L” stand for?
Hey Boomer,
Those new masks we got a few years ago are much better than the old one. And you can see better too.
I will vote in November (good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise) because I will exercise my right. I’m not exactly happy with the selections at this time, but I guarantee I won’t cast my vote for HRC or BHO.
The theme of the dinner event is “A Change is Going to Come.” The NAACP official press statement warns that the nation is at a “crossroads” with regard to “race relations.” I take this to mean that we’d better vote for Obama or get ready for change less to our liking. I must be reading this right since the press release states that “Reverend Wright has challenged the nation, challenged our comfort zone and stimulated nation-wide discussion on the issues of how we must move forward together as both a nation and a people.”
Sorry Rev, but this is just too much to swallow in one sitting.
So Imam Wright will be speaking in public after all? No doubt we all recall he was scheduled to speak in Florida not so long ago to three black churches. Then all of a sudden he wasn’t. Gosh, I wonder why?
But still, let’s try to be positive about this. The NAACP is doing all they can to relieve white people from any remaining guilt they may have, and I call that progress, though how successful this effort has been given the success of the Obama campaign is difficult to say.
Anyway, as for Imam Wright — well, share it brother, I say. Don’t hold back, as I know you are prone to do. Let the world know your true feelings along with those of your followers who provided you with your 1.6 million dollar home. It is still possible that even white people will eventually catch on to what the civil rights movement has become.
Couldn’t be in a more friendly war zone!
Uh-oh, petty cash must be low. Kwame Kilpatrick must have been using it to pay for his love crib. Time to gin up some controversy. Anything, anything for a buck.
And what’s with this middle-class theme: “A Change is Going to Come”?
Let’s keep it real and change it to “A Change Be Coming, Beeeeyotch.”
Will there be an offering taken to furnish his multi-million $ house?
Discrimination Against Dogs: Black Dog Syndrome
This references a 2007 article on discrimination against “black” dogs. I submit it because it just appeared in today’s Honolulu Advertiser, another liberal newspaper stuck in the dark ages (no pun intended).
It does prove the point made by “reverend” Wright and his ilk - just ask any black dog. The white power structure simply cannot accept blackness in any of God’s creatures.
Mookie, “L” stands for liberal. They only support liberal “colored people”. They should really be called the NAALCP. If you’re conservative and black, expect no support from them.

Remember, you have set a very high bar for what defines a “lie.” I believe you said that a “lie” isn’t a lie if others say and believe it?
Well, apparently, they are more worried about pro-life African-Americans these days.
Ms. Coulter does need to get her act together, and doesn’t have the tact that Mrs. Malkin does, but despite all of the liberal whining and shouting at or about Ms. Coulter, liberals get a kick out of it as much as anyone, they just won’t say it publicly. She’s that good.
And I’m sure some of the pathetic self-haters on your side of the aisle really get a kick out of reading how bad they are.
Well if you can’t find a conflict for your cause, you take the conflict from somewhere else.
Conflict equals $ and $ equals the ability to tell some people other people are holding them down.
Now that they’re down, you can ask them for more money.
A beautiful cycle.
Nice, now if we could only get Jeremiah and the Detroit council woman with the anger issues together THAT! would be great television…
Simply put, They are complaining about their right to complain.
