The NAACP Descent—The Glory Days Are Long Gone

The NAACP’s decision to condemn “racist”  elements within the Tea Party movement is about as surprising as the United Nations Human Rights Council voting to condemn Israel, still there is a difference. The U.N. Human Rights Council, never had any moral authority to lose. The NAACP did.

The NAACP was formed on the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in 1909 in a small New York apartment, “The Call” proclaimed the organizations mission:

If Mr. Lincoln, could revisit the country in the flesh he would be disheartened and discouraged, he would learn that on 01 January, 1909 Georgia had rounded out a new Confederacy by disfranchising  the Negro, after the manner of, all the other Southern states…Added to this the spread the lawless attacks upon the Negro, the North, South and West—even in the Springfield made famous by Lincoln—often accompanied  by revolting brutalities , sparing neither sex nor age nor youth, could but the author of the sentiment that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not punish the earth.”
