In 1950 black people paid taxes and served in the military, but didn't have access to the ballot
box, protection under the law or any of the same guarantees of the Constitution that most
of the rest of us have. The NAACP played a part in the legitimate movement that helped
change that. But now, blegghhh, the NAACP hates everything. Here's the NAACP MLK celebration at the
South Carolina State House this year... that's our statue of George Washington they boxed off,
the NAACP hates him.

It is ironic that Mike Wallace's 1957 interview of Eldon Edwards (the then Grand Poohbah of the KKK)
mentions that
character assassination and
boycotts were a couple of the KKK's main tools of
their trade.
