  It's time to put an end to racism in America.  It's time to stop judging people by their skin color.  It's time to put an end to discrimination wherever it rears it's ugly head.  Yes, it's time to put the NAACP out of business.  "Whoa, hold on there just a minute Witt, that's Crazy Talk."  Hey, welcome to my little corner of the world.
     Before I get started, let me set a few ground rules:

1.  I am not a white supremacist.  I believe these kooks are way out of step with modern thought.
2.  I always check my facts.  While there will be some personal opinion included, everything I write is truthful.
3.  I abhor racism. 

    There was a time when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had real merit.  There was a time when it was concerned with fighting discrimination, and the numerous ways blacks had been held back in American society.  It was a worthy cause for everyone, black and white to support. 
     But that was your father's NAACP.  Today's group is primarily concerned not with righting any wrongs...quite the contrary.  The focus of this august group now is to grab anything available, and to make available anything else worth grabbing.
     That's not the worst of it though.  The most troubling concept fostered by the association is institutionalized racism.  It is now considered ok for anyone to speak out against while males, simply because of their race.  An example was quoted in April 9th's Charlotte Observer.  At an NAACP sponsored candidate forum, one of the candidates for North Carolina Agriculture commissioner, Meg Scott Phipps, made this telling statement:
     "The white male is hopefully on the way out."  She later apologized, but by then the awful truth had already escaped from her racially-charged lips.  This is a concept that is being taught in Black Studies classes and special study programs, in Minority publications, on Black Entertainment Television, Black only websites:  SoulMall, BlackVoices, EverthingBlack.com and on and on. It's a dogma that paints any white person who dares to speak out with the dreaded "racist label."
     Thanks to these fine organizations, there is now a certain mentality that says it's ok to make exceptions if a person is black. It's ok to discriminate as long as it's against white people, after all, they've got it made.  They weren't ever slaves. 
     Well, I've got news for them:  Neither were they.  Their ancestors unfortunately were enslaved, and mistreated.  This legacy has endured for much too long.  But there are no slaves owned in America today, and there are no white massahs.  I don't own slaves, and neither did my father or his father. 
     For those who reason minorities are owed something special, I say, "you've already got it.  You're an American." Go to any other nation on earth.  Do the blacks there live in exclusive neighborhoods, drive expensive cars, graduate from Universities with advanced degrees?  Do they have full rights of citizenship, including the freedom to speak out as they do here? 
     It's time to put an end to racism, against blacks, and yes, even against whites.
