Missing Democrat Candidates an "Affront to NAACP"

The NAACP's top leadership lashed out Saturday at several of the major Democratic candidates for president, calling their intention to skip Monday's candidate forum an ''affront'' to the nation's oldest civil rights organization.
As many as four of the nine candidates have refused to participate in the forum, expressing reluctance to appear on stage with their rivals in a debate format, NAACP officials said.

“If you’re afraid to appear against Al Sharpton, maybe you should be running for another office.”
LMAO!!
I’m sorry, but-LOL- and people here in SF can’t understand why I wouldn’t want to be a democrat!

This is the sort of stuff that goes on at functions on that side of the aisle.

I’m not surprised.

For some years I have been puzzled by the ethnic Black Americans supporting the Democrat party when the Democrats only pay lip service to equality or being “color blind”. The NAACP would never endorse George Bush and yet he has placed more Americans of African heritage to positions of responsibility than any Democrat ever did.
The same is true with the Women’s Liberation Movement.

Oh WELL…………:)))

Like I’ve said on another thread;

The democrats thrive on an imaginary championing of the downtrodden, yet those downtrodden never seem to get out of their underdog status; The dems keep them complacent and preach to the media about their “plight”, but they don’t quite do enough to further their lot- you’re right, Belle, more minority members get ahead under Republicans than under democrats.
That’s because the democrats need to keep the downtrodden where they are, to use as one of their campaign platforms.
Pitiful and sick, but there it is.

And not even inviting a Republican to speak, that’s not an “affront” to every black in America, to hear all who might help and support them?

No, just another chapter in the victem / shakedown manual.

It’s okay for the NAACP to snub white republicans, but it’s not alright for white dems to snub the NAACP. Only in their PC free-for-all logic does any of this make sense.

My personal favorite: you can’t possibly be a racist if you’re not in “power”, which posits that’s impossible for those in minority positions to be guilty of race hatred. Right. Last time I looked, the Aryan Brotherhood wasn’t in power and boy, can those guys hate.

Woody Allen was right, you can years without sex, but you can’t go a day without rationalization. Especially if you’re the NAACP.

Okay, I just told you what Apple wants you to look out for with window positions, but in the real world, not everyone uses the hiding feature of the Dock, and it is unrealistic to be able to predict where each user will place their Dock at any given day or how large they will have it. However, you can build a feature into your application that allows spacing for the Finder. You can give users the option of where to position their windows and what area of the screen not to cross. I know that BBEdit provides me with this feature, and I wish more developers gave me more control over my windows.

At WWDC, I listened to Apple representatives make some excellent points about taking the time to build a 100%-compliant Aqua application, and I think all developers need to look beyond the code and listen to what the folks at Apple have to say

This topic is one we will tackle later in this article, but it refers to making sure that your application and the dock aren’t fighting it out for supremacy of the screen.
