Oh, like say the drop out rate? The high birth rate to unmarried teens? Black on black crime? You know, ‘little’ things like that. No, the NAACP must focus it’s energy on a flag. Not just any ol’ flag, but the flag that was used during the “War of Northern Aggression”.

NAACP leaders will push Confederate flag opposition

NAACP leaders meeting in Cincinnati say they will step up their campaign against flying of the Confederate battle flag on state grounds in South Carolina.

Dennis Courtland Hayes, interim president and CEO, said Monday at the civil rights organization’s national convention that action plans are in the works and to stay tuned for details.

The NAACP and other critics call the rebel flag a symbol of slavery and racism. Its defenders call it an emblem of Southern pride and heritage.

A 2000 compromise removed the flag from the Capitol dome in South Carolina. It now flies on Statehouse grounds near the Confederate Soldier Monument.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has continued a boycott of the state.

As La Shawn Barber said:

Very useful! That’s what I’m talking about. Quite important stuff they’re doing. Life-changing ideas, indeed, sure to advance colored people. Keep up the good work. :?

The Confederate Battle Flag. The best-known Confederate flag, however, was the Battle Flag, the familiar “Southern Cross”. It was carried by Confederate troops in the field which were the vast majority of forces under the confederacy. The Stars represented the 11 states actually in the Confederacy plus Kentucky and Missouri.

    Amazing isn’t it? The big NAACP will tackle that “disgusting” bit of history but it leaves out the crack babies, murdering, raping, robbing pieces of shit that represents a good piece of their HISTORY. Oh but it was a CIA plot to keep the bruddas down. Screw em, fight the flag battle asswipes and try to get that flag out of my house.

    They don’t seem very concerned about 1 out of every 2 black babies being killed by their mothers, either. There was a bit in the WSJ today.

    @HeatherRadish:

    Just one more proof in that column that Dhimmis are the racists! Conservatives want to save their children, libs want to kill them. I just don’t get it.
