The NAACP says they exist to promote equality and end racism.
Not long ago, Bill Cosby slammed the NAACP as one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, contribuors/advocates of racism because it is a BILLION dollar a year Industry from which they make a 'killing'. Cosby said if there were not racism, there would be no need for the NAACP, thus no steady flow of so much money into THEIR organization and pockets. The NAACP quickly rebuked Cosby and called him an 'Uncle Tom'.
Many liberals call successful blacks in the GOP 'Uncle Toms', like Colin Powell, although there are more minorities and more in higher positions of power in the Bush administration than in any administration in history.
Now, today, actor Morgan Freeman called the idea of having a Black history Month 'ridiculous'! He said thast such an event - an isolated block of time - was PROMOTING racism, a division based on color, not promoting equality and a nation/world that does not immediately see the color of skin! He stated that Black History is HISTORY and should be taught equally in classrooms throughout the United States, not just 'celebrated' one month a year!
:applaud :clap: :bravo:
Well said, Mr. Freeman, well said!
