Amid stunning testimony by a former Justice Department official alleging the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples behind-the-scenes lobbying on behalf of New Black Panther Party members charged with voter intimidation, the civil rights organization is formerly repudiating racism in the Tea Parties.
The hypocrisy of such conceit is galling, says Erik Rush, the author of a new top-selling book on racial politics titled, Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal Americas Racial Obsession.
There is no racism in the tea party movement, says Rush, and any condemnation or intimation that there is by the NAACP or any other organization is simply part and parcel of their political imperative regarding the social balkanization of America. These assertions (pertaining to the Tea Party) are lies, and those proffering them know it.
The Philadelphia Inquirers editorial staff recently labeled Rush a persistent hater for calling Obamas and Attorney General Eric Holders racists in light of recent testimony revealing the Justice Department hostility to cases with black defendants and white victims.
Persistent haters like Erik Rush, author of Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal, America's Racial Obsession, are actually accusing Obama of racism, the Inquirer editorial states. As evidence they cite the Justice Department's decision not to pursue a Philadelphia voter-intimidation case involving a group called the New Black Panther Party. (T)he scale of justice must be applied appropriately, and here it appears that it was. Attempts to inflate the incident to bash Obama must be seen for what they are. And the NAACP meeting would be a good setting for Obama to address that.
