Great Rebuke of NAACP and Others By an African American

This would be a commentary from the distinguished George Mason U professor and syndicated columnist Walter E Williams discussing the many problems in the hood that are consistently being blamed on every Caucasian in the country instead of where most of the blame now belongs, with Sharpton, Jackson and their blame Whitey brigades.

I'll let his excellent commentary speak for itself in it's ridicule of all the race baiters out there that do nothing but harm the causes of the community in stoking the problem as has been the case in recent months across America this year since the Jackson fed Jena hoax first took flight.

Racial Hoaxes and the NAACP:

GMU EDU. Walter Williams"Last May, firefighters at a Baltimore, Md., fire station came under scrutiny for displaying a deer with an afro wig, gold tooth, gold chain and a cigarette hanging from its mouth.

Marvin 'Doc' Cheatham, president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP, went ballistic, charging, 'There is now and has been a culture of racism and white supremacy within the Baltimore City Fire Department.'

As it turns out, it was a black fireman who dressed up the critter. Cheatham refused to apologize for his accusations of fire department racism, maintaining 'there is now and has been a culture of racism and white supremacy within the Baltimore City Fire Department.'"

On Nov. 21, a hangman's noose was found at the fire station with a note, "We can't hang the cheaters, but we can hang the failures. No EMT-1, NO JOB." The noose and note turned up on the heels of an investigation into allegations of cheating on the test that emergency medical technicians must take for certification.

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, a black, in a written statement said, "I am outraged by this deplorable act of hatred and intimidation. Threats and racial attacks are unacceptable anywhere, especially in a firehouse." Doc Cheatham said, "We're going to demand that this be handled as a hate crime. This thing really needs to end here in Baltimore city." The incident prompted a federal investigation.

Last week, Donald Maynard, a black firefighter-paramedic, confessed to having placed the noose, note and drawing depicting a lynching on a bunk in the firehouse. City officials said Maynard was recently suspended, prior to his confession, from the department Friday for failing to meet requirements for advanced life-saving training. A spokesman for Mayor Dixon said there would be no criminal charges filed.

In response to Maynard's confession, NAACP President Cheatham still blamed white racism, saying, "It really saddens us to hear that evidently things have reached a stage that even an African-American does an injustice to himself and his own people as a result of a negative culture in that department." continued
