Go tell that to the NAACP.

Silly muppet. Didn't you know that the 'r' word can only apply to white/pink/beige people? This is because 'white...' people (even though there is no such thing, apparently) are so vile that it's only to be expected that all the other persons of shades of outer covering will despise them.

Yeah, I forgot: colored folks can't be racists.

Henry: Let's see, what does the NAACP do? It fights against racism. Now, it could use science in its fight and explain to people that races do not exist, and that people who think otherwise are right up there with the flat-Earther movement, but, the fact still remains that racism is quite real even though races are not. Blacks still face discrimination, based on someone believing in the myth that they are inferior due to their skin color, which I'm all for fighting against. To equate the efforts of the NAACP to end racism with the concept of races and the mythical "justification" for races is absurd.

...by promoting the distinctiveness of colored people.

Racism, Sci, pure and simple and obvious.

The motivation behind the racism is irrelevant...it's still racism.

The NAACP calls for the eradication of racism, not racism itself. If you think a black person fighting against racism against blacks is being a racist, then you may as well claim that a person who advocates for evolution against creationism is really a creationist. It would make just as much sense. In other words, no sense at all.

Just admit it and we're done.

Not going to happen. The PC are the guardians of goodness and morality on behalf of the entire human race. They are beyond the questioning of lesser beings.

Yeah, I know...*shrug*...what can i say? I'm an optimist.

Prove that the NAACP is racist for fighting against racism. Your evidence?

'Prove it'. The final grasp of the beaten.

It's amazing how people who claim to be only interested in the truth deny basic science regarding race, and also advocate for the absurd position that those who fight against racism are racists. Blacks can certainly be racists, and the Nation of Islam is most definitely a racist organization, but I have seen no evidence that the NAACP is racist. So, apparently, when asked for evidence, those who claim that the NAACP is racist have nothing to offer but personal insults.

It figures.

The complete failure to provide evidence for a claim that the NAACP is racist ---- a sure sign of a person having lost the debate.

Oops. I should have said 'second to last gasp'. The last gasp is inventing a fantasy argument (an easy one) and then arguing with oneself, whilst completely ignoring the actual argument wherein one was not only used to wipe the floor to a dazzling gleam, but the windows and guttering as well.

It's in the goddamned name, Sci: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Not the National Association for the Advancement of All People.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

'nuff said.

Dammit. Those gasps just keep coming. I'd forgotten about the old 'I won the argument' trick. I haven't seen it for a long time--not since I last encountered a kkkristian creationist pencil-brain. Ahh. The good old days. Poor things don't understand that saying 'I won' doesn't make it so. Ask any olympic silver medallist.
