Rev. Wright Speaks to NAACP

Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 4:44:26 pm PDT

Fox News is showing the speech of Reverend Jeremiah Wright to the NAACP right now, and the introduction is so insanely over the top it’s almost unbelievable...

“Must Jeremiah bear the cross alone?”

UPDATE at 4/27/08 4:49:23 pm:

They’re giving Wright a wild standing ovation...

Which cross?

The 10 million dollar line of credit, or the big house in a fancy neighborhood?

Or perhaps it's the direct phone line to Barack Hssein Obama.

If those are "crosses", sign me up.

re: #79 Bob in Breckenridge

.....The organization held its second conference in May of 1910, where members chose the name the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. [5] The name was formally adopted May 30, and the NAACP incorporated a year later, in 1911. The association's charter delineated its mission:

To promote equality of rights and to eradicate caste or race prejudice among the citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for the children, employment according to their ability and complete equality before law.

The conference resulted in a more viable, influential and diverse organization, where the leadership was predominantly white and heavily Jewish. In fact, at its founding, the NAACP had only one African American on its executive board, Du Bois himself, and did not elect a black president until 1975. The Jewish community contributed greatly to the NAACP's founding and continued financing. Jewish historian Howard Sachar writes in his book A History of Jews in America of how, "In 1914, Professor Emeritus Joel Spingarn of Columbia University became chairman of the NAACP and recruited for its board such Jewish leaders as Jacob Schiff, Jacob Billikopf, and Rabbi Stephen Wise." [1] Early Jewish co-founders included Julius Rosenthal, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch and Wise.
Du Bois continued to play a pivotal role in the organization and served as editor of the association's magazine, The Crisis, which had a circulation of over 30,000.

The president of the NAACP from its founding to 1915 was Moorfield Storey, who was white. Storey was a long-time classical liberal and Grover Cleveland Democrat who advocated laissez-faire free markets, the gold standard, and anti-imperialism. Storey consistently and aggressively championed civil rights not only for blacks but also for Native Americans and immigrants (he opposed immigration restriction).
