N.A.A.C.P. and Ku Klux Klan Join Forces
By Shaheen Hamedi - The Walkerville Weekly Reader

The old maxim that "politics makes strange bedfellows" does not begin to describe the new alliance between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Ku Klux Klan. According to NAACP President Kweisi Mfume, the nearly century-old civil rights organization has come to see the value of the Klan perspective on African-Americans.

The NAACP is suing the firearms industry for their "poor distribution practices" which "allow African-Americans to purchase firearms" and then kill other African-Americans. "It hurts us to admit this," said President Mfume, "but for the past thirty years firearms homicides by African-Americans has been the leading cause of death among young African-American males. We've come to realize that African-Americans cannot handle the responsibility of owning firearms." According to the NAACP lawsuit, firearms distributors should have known that African-Americans cannot be trusted with firearms, and should have refused to sell. The lawsuit does not seek any monetary damages, according to President Mfume. "It seeks only to force the firearms industry to stop selling firearms to African-Americans."

The Ku Klux Klan has submitted an "amicus curiæ", or "friend of the court" brief in support of the NAACP's position. "It shouldn't come as a surprise," said a Klan spokesperson. "We've said all along that blacks cannot handle civil rights. We have nothing against the negro, as long as he knows his place. We're glad the NAACP finally came around to acknowledging that." According to their spokesperson, the Ku Klux Klan fully supports the NAACP's lawsuit.

The Walkerville Weekly Reader attempted to contact Congress on Racial Equality president Roy Innes for comment, but his response was unprintable in a family newspaper.

****, if I was black I'd be some friggin pissed right now! The fact that the NAACP "has come to see the value of the Klan perspective on African-Americans." just shows that it's just another disgusting racist orgainization hiding behind the thin veil of respectability that comes from supposedly representing minorities.

I'm with Bert, I'd be sooo pizzed about this. But then, I don't think the KKK should be trusted with guns. (sorry NRAJoe) hehe

Uhh... I know the lawsuit is real, but is this article real? Did Mfume really say that?

I dont know how true the artical is....thats why I posted the link...I belive the original story came from Newsmax wich is a reputable news oganzation....It has to do with the NAACP's current lawsuit so should be something that can be checked out...I did a double yesterday so sleeping most of the day today.

I have read several stories about this and I believe the quote is real, or at least close to what Mfume is reputed to have said. If ever I found myself allied with the KKK it would be time to seriously consider what the He** I was doing. As my dad said, "Right or wrong, you are judged by your friends and company". Going by that I guess the NAACP has dropped all facade of being a respectable civil rights organization, they just as well join hands with the Operation Push and their band of thieves and extortionist.
