I can no longer respect the NAACP

The NAACP says its mission(1) is "to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination." Why then does the NAACP ignore Minister King Samir Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party when he says "You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!" ?

While at the same time generating a resolution based on "claims of racism, most notably in March near the end of the bitter health care debate. U.S. Reps. John Lewis, Andre Carson and Emanuel Cleaver said some demonstrators, many of them Tea Party activists, yelled a racial epithet as the black congressmen walked from House office buildings to the Capitol. Cleaver, D-Mo., also said he was spit on." (2) None of those claims could be confirmed despite all of the recordings happening at the time of the alleged epithets.

We have clear undeniable evidence of a confirmed racist spreader of hate speak in Minister King Samir Shabbazz that the NAACP ignores while they condemn a group based on allegations with no clear evidence.

How can anyone respect the NAACP or their mission while they behave like this. I will no longer contribute financially to their organization until they decide to actually follow their own mission statement without regard to race.

Tea Party racism and spitting on Congressmen has been documented in news reports and video. The following blog post contains news clips and video of tea party racism: http://www.1droprule.com/2010/04/man-without-country.html

At the link this person provides I find no evidence as he states. The video at http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/03/20/90772/rep-john-lewis-charges-protesters.html which is presented as the evidence of people screaming nigger does not even contain any image of the John Lewis walking with Pelosi and being screamed at. Again no clear evidence exists but for Minister Shabazz we had clear and direct evidence that can not be refuted and yet people like Mr Hull still think the Tea Party is the problem.
