Take a controversial pastor, a Republican businessman and county conservatives. Shake it all together.
What you get is a whole lot of e-mails swirling around.
The county NAACP chapter will host the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr. on Nov. 20 at its annual Freedom Fund Banquet in Glen Burnie. The selection prompted an outpouring of complaints from Republican public and political figures.
"I'm disappointed that a racially divisive figure like Jeremiah Wright would be honored as the keynote speaker," said Del. Nic Kipke, R-Pasadena.
"I think that there are much better...

Double standards again and misinfor - 2009-10-27 11:02:21
This is a quote I just read on Politico -
There may well be almost an unconscious effort on the part of the media to give Obama a bit more slack because he is more likable, because he is the first African-American president. That plays into it, said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political analyst at the University of Southern California.
Here is Rush Limbaugh's statement regarding Donovan McNabb-
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL,'' Limbaugh said. "The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well ... McNabb got a lot of the credit for the performance of the team that he really didn't deserve.''
Ealim says this -"Why didn't Rush Limbaugh apologize for what he said about Donovan McNabb?" Ealim said. "Why is there a standard with one type of people and another standard for another type of people?"
Where is the hue and cry about what the woman in California said? What does the Rev. Wright have to say about this? NAACP in Baltimore is afraid that if Dixon goes to jail and a Republican is in office a Republican could be the mayor of Baltimore. NAACP says that "what if an Irish person were appointed". NAACP said that only a black person should be mayor of Baltimore. This is one of the most racist things I have ever heard said. It appears that AAC NAACP is just about as looney as Baltimore's chapter by having Wright be their guest speaker. They should be ashamed!!!

It would be easier to accept the criticism of this person from a group of individuals that was not predominately white .Moreover, It is a shame the republican party is in effect ruining a moment of honor for one of its very few black republicans.

And then they ask why? - 2009-10-25 13:23:37
To the NAACP chapter of Anne Arunde County;
What is your problem? Your group has been complaining for 5 plus decades now that white america does not treat you with respect and as equals. Do you really think this will help or hurt your cause?
