So...
NOW can any non-black citizen of this country say the same thing, but, about black organizations like the NAACP, the "new black panther party", or etc?
Can we
NOW say there are elements within those organizations that are racist? Would that be acceptable? Or would that be too forward, since anyone who isn't in those groups wouldn't know for sure?
Yeah....kinda what I thought.

Michelle Obama Rouses NAACP Before Vote Condemning 'Racist' Elements of Tea PartyNote: Catch the "subtle" spin in this 1st piece, from abc news
Tea Party Leaders Say Political Motivation Driving NAACP Agenda

First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.
The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo.
In her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.
Tea Party members have used "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically," according to the proposed resolution.
"We're deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse progress that we've made," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell told ABC News. "We are asking that the law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements, that they recognize the historic and present racist elements that are within the Tea Party movement."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 10 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party.
The "One Nation" march is designed as an antithesis to the Tea Party, and it's about "pulling America together and back to work," McDowell said.
"We see it as a threat to democracy. We see it as a threat to human rights. We certainly see it as a threat to civil rights," McDowell said, adding that the resolution will likely pass when it's voted upon Tuesday.
Supporters of the Tea Party movement have frequently faced charges of racism.
The most notable case is that of Kentucky GOP Senate hopeful Rand Paul , who came under fire in May for criticizing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Paul said he supports the act and opposes discrimination, but added that the government doesn't have a right to tell private restaurant owners who they can and cannot serve.

In March, Tea Party protesters opposing the health care bill were alleged to have shouted racial slurs at black House members in the halls of Congress, a charge that Tea Party supporters say has not been proven. Liberal blogs have also seized on signs that have appeared in Tea Party protests, comparing President Obama to a monkey.

You mean, like the signs I saw for nearly 8 years at leftist protests, depicting George W Bush as a monkey?
Like that?
Hmm...I guess it doesn't matter when he's not black, ay?
Anyone can make fun of anyone else, calling them "monkey"...unless the person being targeted is black?
Is that it?
Kinda like using he "n" word....It's ok to say it, as long as you're black, right?
This self-segregationist whiney BS is getting a bit over the top....dontcha think?
