Black Activists Criticize NAACP over Filibuster Position
Project 21 press release:
Members of the black leadership organization Project 21 are criticizing the NAACP for endorsing filibusters against Bush Administration judicial nominees, calling the NAACP endorsement contradictory to the group’s past position, when filibusters halted the progress of civil rights bills.
“For decades, the NAACP was vehemently against filibusters because they were employed to oppose and counter civil rights legislation. But the NAACP has now switched position,” notes Project 21 member Michael King. “NAACP head Julian Bond has aggressively made verbal attacks on the Bush Administration. Though Bond and the NAACP leadership vociferously deny charges of partisanship, Bond’s actions and the silence of the membership implies that partisanship is the order of the day. By virtue of its actions, the NAACP has forfeited any opportunity to provide a reasonable voice to this discussion.”
Via MH King, who notes:
I really wish the NAACP would come on out of the closet and finally admit that their agenda is a partisan one. But then again, to do that, they’d have to give up their tax exempt status.
