Speaking during a Greenville-Spartanburg Republican Women’s meeting April 7, Sheriff Chuck Wright, who is running for re-election, argued that the NAACP is a racist organization because it focuses on advancing rights for only one race, citing an African-American friend of his who feels the same way. “I’ve got a chaplain who works for me — he’s an African-American, he is my brother and I love him more than anything,” Wright said, according to WYFF-TV. “He doesn’t buy into that mess. A bunch of his friends don’t either. They don’t do the NAACP because I feel like that is a racist group as well as the KKK. I don’t care about them either.” Wright asserted that he does not want people to associate with a group “that’s got something to do just because of your color” because he doesn’t feel they are “right.” “I think if we would quit worrying about Democrats or Republicans and just love our neighbors as God told us to, we’re gonna be better. We’re just gonna be better,” he said.


Is he wrong? I've watched the NAACP destroy public school districts in Louisiana when they had no real stake in the issue, and actually filed lawsuits that were against the will of both races.

The NAACP is worse than any present day white hate group. That is just a cold hard fact.

I get what he's trying to say but it's a shitty comparison. Yes the NAACP is racist as hell but they haven't lynched anyone as far as I know (yes I know the KKK hasn't done this lately but they have done it).

He is exactly correct. There is no room for any group or policy that benefits one race or group of people at the expense of the rest in modern society.

They really need to. I doubt I would get a good response if I started referring to African Americans as "colored people".

Check EBR and St. Helena parish public schools in the late '70's-early '80's and compare them to now. Why? NAACP deseg lawsuits. Do you think that the black communities wanted these? You may be surprised.

He was comparing but not equating, and I have no problem with what he said.

High C is correct on this one. The NAACP kept anything from getting done for almost 20 years in EBR parish. When Zachary took over our schools from EBR they were in deplorable conditions..

But the decades of legal turns have done little to achieve the lawsuit's goal of integration or made things much better for what are now the plaintiffs' grandchildren. Middle-class whites have largely abandoned this city's beleaguered, 45,000-student public school system, which is now nearly 75 percent black. Money has been tight. No new schools were built between 1974 and 2002. At one school north of downtown, water leaks through stained ceiling panels, and flakes of peeling paint must be swept from the children's bathrooms. The settlement, up for a final hearing Thursday before U.S. District Judge James Brady, is itself a mixture of formulas to parcel out the few remaining whites.

NAACP was started by white folk.. They didn't kill people because they were a certain color.

Funny you chose the DeVito gif:
We're A Bunch Of Racists

i think Frank Reynolds would be a lot more to hang out with than the real Danny DeVito.
