Teaparty Spokesman Mocks NAACP, Calls Them “Coloreds" Who Want Slavery Back

NAACP

Teaparty Express spokesman Mark Williams is continuing to make headlines for his comments about the NAACP.

As previously reported Williams appeared on CNN's “The Situation Room: With Wolf Blitzer” and told journalist Roland Martin that the NAACP was racist and trying to benefit off of skin color.

His response came after the The National Association For The Advancement of Colored People adopted a resolution condemning the tea party's “racist elements” and asked the party's leaders to repudiate the bigotry in the group.

The spokesman for the party is speaking out again, this time through a “satirical” letter to President Abraham Lincoln.

Williams writes under the name “Ben Jealous”, the nephew of Uncle Tom from Uncle Tom's Cabin and “head colored person” from the NAACP, and tells the President that we[coloreds] don't' “cotton” to “that whole emancipation thing.”

The letter includes a line where Ben Jealous says that we [coloreds] had a “great gig” with three squares, room and board and all our decisions “made by the massa in the house.”

Ben also asks that Lincoln repeal the 13th and 14th amendment and let us “get back to where we belong.”

Is anyone else offended yet?

Read Williams' letter below.

"Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement'.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person"


I think the NAACP is going to be the least of your worries with that letter Williams.

    naacp should not be lured into a back and forth dialog with these folks it is what they are craving for fox ,rush, beck, hannity. what the naacp should be doing is making sure all the blk folks understand that the house and senate races are even more important than the vote they cast in 2008. getting the president elected. please tell these black people that its is not the time to sit home young folks register and vote. you see by the response of that tea party WHO WANTS CONTROL of the country again. the disrespect and dthey have for your kind with how they responded to in the naacp. LETS NOT STOOP TO THEIR LEVEL . we are bigger than that. you can crave dialog devil all you want . but the devil will never change just ask rush.

    Although I am a Barack and Michelle voting white person who can't stand the tea party, I would still like to apologize to every black person in America on behalf of these embarr*****ing idiots of my own color. Please don't let this alienate you from those of us who want to see the best for ALL Americans of every color. We need to stand together!

  • WideAwake

    It is evident that the first black president of the U.S.A. has the robes coming off.....

    They are after mexicans, blacks, next asians what a crock for a melting pot....

  • Right

    Asia your an idiot. What is the color of the majority of people in jail? What is the color of the majority of people on welfare? It's been more than 100 years since the Civil War and what progress has been made. Now people don't have to work to get shelter and food.

    WOW is all i can muster up...

  • Bob Stone

    There are members of the NAACP that are racist but the organization was created and does for lthe most part advaance te cause of civil rights. I do lbelieve however that Jesse Jackson and the Preacher from NY are racists.

  • sommer

    All I can say is wow is this how he really feels. I wonder how many others think like him and in secret agrees with him.

  • Carolyn

    I think that too many are not percise with their language, most likely due to ignorance of their own mother tongue when throwing around the words racism with bigotry. Bigotry is a " stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own".
    Racism, on the other hand, is "a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering a doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others".

    Basically, a bigot can be a racist only if they have power over another race of human beings...........
    Never the less, I would not use either word to describe the NAACP.
