I certainly hope that the nice folks at the NAACP, don't expect Obama to do anythin' for them, as president, above or beyond what he does for any other American.

Nevermind. Iff'n the folks that marched on city hall, last night, are any example of the mindset of NAACP members, then they'll expect everythin', while offerin' society nuthin'.

BHO has gotten it right. Blacks lack family values and morals. He has spoken out to tell them that if they want to improve their lot in life, they had better get some. The more BHO speaks, the more I like him and his message of change.

Al & Jesse & their white hating gangs should just go away. They are the scum of the black earth. They do nothing to improve the lot of life for blacks. Now, BHO has told them that too.

Yes, i like BHO more and more.

You are falling for this wolf in sheeps clothing's BS. He mght be talking in front of blacks, but he wants whites to hear this insincere ranting. Gullible schmucks hear HOW WELL he delivers words they want to hear. This two-faced radical has a paper trail a mile long. He makes Al and Jesse look moderate.

You are so racist, it's sickening. Every comment that you make on these forums are all racist. I've heard that Virginia is a racist state and your one of them. All you ever say is crack, crack, crack, you must be a recovering drug addict. Peace and happiness comes within your inner self.

The NAACP started back in the slavery days dummy. Back when whites abused and killed blacks for no reason.

Based on what has happened in Akron lately perhaps BHO and Bill Cosby will come to town and speak about responsibility.

I agree with you, he needs to read some scriptures and pray about his racist thoughts.

You are so wrong. The KKK kills innocent minorities and the NAACP was an organization that started years ago that helped black people during the slavery days. I'm white man and I even know this.

I heard speech that he gave at NAACP meeting Monday 7/14. He was preaching to the attendees about the 'importance of being a good neighbor...of being a good citizen". I was in shock =knowing what I know about his legislative efforts and real estate involvements back in his home state. he is a political opportunist. We are inconsequential casualties in his race to the presidency. The destruction of the lives of all those families is considered 'collateral damage' in Sen Obama's world view. The destruction of our constitution is considered 'collateral damage'. People P L E A S E look at his record. Look at his actions and their consequences. He manipulates voters through his words but it is his actions that speak the truth.
We DO HAVE MORE THAN TWO CHOICES IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN...

Please watch these three YOU TUBE videos and tell me why I should trust Sen Obama to look out for the well-being of my country and my fellow Americans?

If you want to learn the main reason why so many people refuse to vote for Sen Obama and SERIOUSLY question the motives of the DNC and others for supporting this candidate…just read the links below.
If what you read below infuriates you- remember-as a voter you have several options-NOT JUST TWO OPTIONS (MCCAIN OR OBAMA)-

Sen Clinton HAS NOT assigned her delegates to anyone. As of today-all her delegates still belong to her so…no…she is not out of the race yet. These links provide information (factual-well sourced where applicable) and the opinion pieces are ‘intelligent and rational”. Do not include trashy remarks or tons of adjectives-JUST FACTS as to why the person believes what he/she is telling you-ie what is their opinion based on.
ALSO-if you believe that we need a third party system-visit

www.votenader.org

You can support the right to have third party candidates appear on ballots and if you choose-in November- you do not have to vote for the third party. PLEASE AT LEAST JUST GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO APPEAR ON THE BALLOTS SO THAT FROM NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC DEBATES CONCERNING THIS CAMPAIGN. ALSO HELP THEM GET A FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE ELECTIONS. LOOK WHAT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM HAS DONE TO SEN CLINTON (& OTHER FORMER CANDIDATES)…AND TO OUR COUNTRY.
PLEASE EDUCATE YOUR FELLOW VOTERS.

My husband and I are very well educated. I agree with Barack to a certain degree, he chose a bad choice of words when referring to all blacks. There are some blacks who need to take control of their lives, as well as whites. All people need to be held accountable of their actions. I DONOT condone any wrong doing and it doesn't matter what race you are. We need to bring back religion for alot of the racist people in our country, especially on this comment board.

I have endured many such posts.
The NAACP has always been a viable organization, but many people are ignorant as to what they actually do.

No, personally I do not expect Sen. Obama to do anything for me. Not even for what he will do for other Americans.

He is a POLITICIAN and they all mostly shift with the prevailing wind. Moreover, he seems quite content with telling struggling Black people off without offering helpful solutions or having done any work to help them.

My entire family, including myself, is QUITE well off, so we will be fine.

But I feel bad for other Black people who need economic, social, and spiritual help.

Without doing the work of helping those who need it, I don't think ANYONE, including Senator Obama, needs to speak.

This is just pandering to Conservative Democrats and high and mighty Black people who want to see the underclass chastised again.

I agree with this part of your post. And I want to add that I have family members who know him and his wife personally.

He is a good person and so is his wife, but he is a politician and I don't need to be told what a good citizen is...

What do say to people who say that the lower classes are in the predicament thy're in because of the kind of decisions they tend to make in life..and if you try to help, they will eventually end up back where they were before??

actually, NAACP was founded near the turn of the 20th century, during what was considered the reconstruction era post-slavery. during that time, however, lynchings of blacks by whites and rampant segregation took place around the country - especially in the south.
