Actually it isn't their right to do that. That's what the case was about.That's missing all the work the NAACP did in the past. All the Jim Crow laws were state and local laws, for example. They needed federal solutions to those problems, but the oppression wasn't federal to begin with.I was referring to Federal oppression, perhaps I should have been more specific. Can you give me an example of how the Federal government (keep in mind NAACP is non-profit but federally funded) oppresses colored people?
How much in federal funds does the NAACP get each year? I haven't found a number yet.

yep, re s in hats vs. reality. nailed it.
I agree, I wasn't arguing that it was. I was simply pointing that it was the State and not the Federal Government.
I've acknowledged that we have moved on a society. I'm not trying to take away credit for anything they've done in the past.That's missing all the work the NAACP did in the past.

It's dynamic I believe, there is no set amount. http://action.naacp.org/page/-/annua...nualReport.pdfHow much in federal funds does the NAACP get each year?
Funding
The NAACP has received funding from the AT&T Foundation,[39] the Bauman Family Foundation,[40] the Carnegie Corporation of New York,[41] the Annie E. Casey Foundation,[42] the Freddie Mac Foundation,[43] the Ford Foundation,[44] the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,[45] the JEHT Foundation,[46] the Joyce Foundation,[47] the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,[48] the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,[49] the Open Society Ins ute,[50] the David and Lucile Packard Foundation,[51] the Rockefeller Foundation,[52] the Sara Lee Foundation,[53] the Scherman Foundation,[54] the Verizon Foundation,[55] the Tides Foundation[56] and Boeing.[57]
In the 2010-11 fiscal year, the National Education Association (the largest labor union in the United States) donated $25,000 to the NAACP.[58]
Well, I see you're in your usual jolly mood.
That's exactly the level where the NAACP has historically fought oppression.
North Carolina moved on to a different form of oppression that still needs to be fought.I've acknowledged that we have moved on a society. I'm not trying to take away credit for anything they've done in the past.
Freddie Mac is closest thing to a quasi-federal source on your list.It's dynamic I believe, there is no set amount. http://action.naacp.org/page/-/annua...nualReport.pdf
In your opinion...what's pandering to Christians if not also for the birds.
If you want to hold it, that's fine, I'll just disregard your previous post.
Fake cartoon
so trump wishes he hadnt hired sessions. plenty of good reasons for that take. wonder what trumps main reason is.
is it because sessions favors for-profit prisons?
is it because he opposes legal marijuana and wants to put people in prison for minor drug offenses?
is it because hes an out of touch dinosaur?
oh wait, no, its because russia.
1 of 12 Trash voters want their votes back, after only 6 months of Trash's dumpster Exec.
That's more than enough to keep Trash out of the WH.
He won the EC by 80K votes (130M+ cast) across only 3 states that were targeted and pounded by Pootin's army of "fake news" spewers.
My guess is that Mercer's UK firm Cambridge Analytica and/or Kushner gave that army all the info they needed for the "fake news" targeting.
Trash is an ILLEGITIMATE PVL so-called Pres.
He mopped the in' floor with her in' ass.
Trump Jr not doing awesome.
We almost had this as our reality, Cub. Trump wouldn't have it, though
He hasn't done for this country in the first 6 months.

Breitbart’s Boyle: Our Goal Is the ‘Elimination of the Entire Mainstream Media’
Matthew Boyle, Breitbart News’ Washington Political Editor, gave a speech en led “Combating Fake News: Replacing Establishment Media” at the Heritage Foundation in Washington on Wednesday.
“The goal eventually is the full destruction and elimination of the entire mainstream media. We envision a day when CNN is no longer in business. We envision a day when the New York Times closes its doors. I think that day is possible,” he said in his speech to the Phyllis Schlafly Collegians Leadership Summit.
Boyle elaborated on Breitbart News’ record in uncovering falsehoods reported in the mainstream media. Breitbart’s fact-checking exposed a false CNN story in June claiming that President Trump’s associate Anthony Scaramucci—the founder of SkyBridge Capital and now an Export Import Bank official—was under investigation by the Treasury Department and Senate Intelligence Committee for alleged meetings with a Russian banking official. The supposed meetings never happened, and the Senate Intelligence Committee was not investigating Scaramucci. Furthermore, the Treasury Department—at the urging of Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA) and other Democrats at the beginning of the administration—had looked into the matter already and determined it to be entirely “without merit.”
After Breitbart verified through research that the CNN hit piece was entirely fraudulent, CNN retracted the piece, apologized to Scaramucci and three of its senior editorial staffers, including a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and the head of CNN’s investigative unit, resigned over the scandal. CNN continues to not be transparent about the matter.
Beyond uncovering such lies from the media, Boyle underlined Breitbart’s commitment to covering stories overlooked by establishment media organizations. “A lot of the stories we do and a lot of the stories that we focus on are very, very strategically focused things,” Boyle said. “So, we like to go after stories that they ignore.”
According to Boyle, Breitbart News’ reporting on the Republican congressional primary between establishment-favorite, now former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and now Rep. Dave Brat in 2014 found that: “If you were reading Breitbart, you weren’t surprised when you saw that David Brat won the election. The rest of the media was just shocked.”
A similar pattern of reporting overlooked aspects in the 2016 election, such as raw polling data, ensuring that no one at Breitbart News was surprised when Donald Trump won the presidency.
Boyle further argued that the failure of the mainstream media extended beyond a mere liberal bias. In his words:
The media is an industry in crisis that refuses to admit that it’s an industry in crisis. It’s almost like an alcoholic refusing to admit that they have a problem. They continue to go out there and make the same mistakes over and over again. It’s actually pretty easy, I could sit here all day and make a full time living on fact checking CNN. It gets boring after a while, but they make mistakes over and over again. Many of them, the same mistakes, and they refuse to correct them. Journalistic integrity is dead. There is no such thing anymore. So, everything is about weaponization of information. Both sides are fighting on the battlefield of ideas and you know CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, Associated Press, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, the whole alphabet soup they’ve all thrown in together with the ins utional left.
He underlined that the chief distinction between Breitbart and its left-of-center compe ion was that Breitbart admitted to being conservative-oriented.
Our viewpoint at Breitbart has always been that we’d rather be open about our personal biases. We’re openly conservative. We don’t hide it. We’re very honest with our audience. We told people we all wanted Trump to win last year. If you’re open with your audience about that, I think you’re honest with your audience.
Boyle contrasted such transparency with outlets of the establishment media that see themselves as neutral and objective.
They claim to be objective. They claim that they don’t have a side. And many of them actually believe their own lies. So, a lot of these people are decent human beings who are working in a broken ins ution. Again, I know many of them.
Despite outlets like Breitbart fighting against “this behemoth of an industry that is all these different media organizations,” Boyle was quite confident in Breitbart’s ability to undermine the narrative of establishment media. The victory of Donald Trump, whose candidacy received a record-low number of media endorsements, proved such success according to Boyle.
We’re getting past these guys. There is a good contingent of the country, in fact, a majority, enough to win a presidential election, majorities in the house and senate in elections, that don’t believe the mainstream media. We’re winning this war and we’re outnumbered. So the more people that get involved, the more people that stand up and fight, the closer we are going to get to a total victory.
lmao breitbart combatting fake news
http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-w...capitol-brawl/Anti-fascist leader Yvonne C. Felarca was arrested on charges of inciting and participating in a riot and assault likely to cause great bodily injury.
From The Seattle Times:
California authorities announced Wednesday that they arrested a prominent San Francisco Bay Area anti-fascist leader on charges stemming from a state Capitol brawl last year between white nationalist groups and counter-protesters.
Yvonne C. Felarca, 47, was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles on charges of inciting and participating in a riot and assault likely to cause great bodily injury, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said.
Yvette Felarca is the name used by the leader and spokeswoman for the group By Any Means Necessary, but public records show her given name is Yvonne Capistrano Felarca.
By Any Means Necessary has not returned repeated telephone messages from The Associated Press over two days.
A second counter-protester, Michael Williams, 56, was arrested Wednesday in Yolo County on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and participating in a riot.
They are the last of four arrests stemming from a June 2016 melee that erupted when more than 300 counter-protesters confronted about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party. Prosecutors on Tuesday announced the arrests of a party supporter and another counter-protester.
Felarca attended the Capitol protest and gave television interviews after the melee. Following those interviews, Berkeley police last year investigated threats against Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School where Felarca was a teacher. School officials could not be reached Wednesday.
She also has been prominent at several clashes in Berkeley involving the Occupy movement and more recently between supporters and opponents of President Donald Trump and conservative leaders.
Prosecutors said there are no more outstanding warrants from last year’s clash, although the California Highway Patrol had sought charges against 101 participants after an eight-month investigation. The district attorney’s office said many counter-protesters were masked, making it difficult to bring charges including against those involved in several stabbings and an assault on a Sacramento television station’s news crew.
Fourteen people had stab wounds, cuts and bruises, with two of the injured surviving critical stab wounds.
