Bush meets with NAACP!

This morning I read several articles on the PREZ's invitation to speak at the NAACP convention. What does this really mean? To me absolutely nothing. As I see it what more can president Bush say to black people that will change what we think and feel about him. Lately it seems that he is on a definite black kick. He was in Africa issuing a so called apology to the Sudanese. When will he learn that the best think he can do for blacks is to step down out of office.

Now that I have vented lets get serious. In the articles that I read today, I saw a few things that made me stop and think. One obviously was the fact that President Bush had accepted the invitation to speak to the NAACP. This in itself raises questions about the agenda of the new regime at the NAACP. Does this mean that the new tactic for dealing with "racism" is to ignore all colors except for green?

The majority of the individuals on the power counsel of the NAACP are well off and do not struggle for much. This is a problem because I feel that maybe they have lost sight as to what is important to Colored People. In the 50's and before it was easy because money didn't mean a think if you where black you had problems. So we were all in the same boat. Now a days the lines have been blurred. All blacks are not lumped into a single pool. Today's attacks and issues are narrowed to the blacks with the least amount of say or power (by the way this also happens to be the largest group among blacks) those who straddle the poverty line. Today's tactics seek out these blacks and make sure that they remain where they are.

As a matter of practice the NAACP does not deal with these "social" issues because as they believe it would take away from the all important view on Racism. Now this is absurd and for any self respecting Black to take this position well in my mind should have bush speak for him. Social injustice is Racism or doesn't that connect.

'If I live in a place lets say ummm Germany in the 30's. I can't come right out and say things about Jews because they are deeply rooted into my society, but what I can do is to start making policy that undermines there position in my society until I get enough support to justify coming out and using a frontal attack.'

The social injustices in this country have lead to a division in the black community because now blacks are put into two different groups those with money and those without. This is a ploy to divide and conquer and for some reason blacks are not getting it. The sad thing is once the Young black men are removed from our society as is the case now. Those with money will start to see these same tactics being used against them. First the lower class has to fall, then the middle class will follow. Then guess who will be next.

All issues concerning people of color need to be addressed head on and the NAACP if it is going to call itself the voice of black America needs to wake up and start seeing this. We can not separate the two issues at hand "social bias" and "racism" they are one and the same. This "Victim like Thinking" gimmick is a joke and Julian Bond needs to be put on notice.
