We are about to enter a new era under the benevolent rule of our own Dear Leader. Because of an accident of skin pigmentation, any criticism of Barack Hussein Obama will become de facto criticism of an entire race, and therefore a form of “hate speech”. This will become the all-American version of hets mot folkgrupp, an all-purpose mechanism for cracking down on political dissent.
“Baron, why are you talking such tripe?” you say. “What tosh! Such things can’t happen here in the United States of America.”
Well one bit of agreement, I often wonder why Baron is "talking such tripe". But "an accident of skin pigmentation"?!? Needless to say, he goes on with a report on investigations into derogatory comments made online about Obama, no doubt fearing for his own rather racist site being next on the list. Never mind that there are already people in custody for plots to try and assassinate President-Elect Obama for the very reason that he is bi-racial, just act as deranged as these folks once claimed those who disagreed with Bush supposedly did and throw in a bit of victimization and a dash of bigotry. That could well be the Gates of Vienna creed, to be honest.
But I digress; let's get to Dymphna in the comments:

Why is a group that calls itself "The National Association of Colored People" legal?
Isn't that a race-based definiton and thereby off-limits according to the latest p.c. rules?
What would happen if there were a group calling itself "The American League of Persecuted Pale People"? What would happen if this group came to the defense of these officers?
BTW, do we even know what color these police officers are? Or is it because they are not black that there is now open season on WHITE officers?

Promoting the idea of a Black president was not mere idealism or the result of white racial guilt, but a clever tactical move from the globalist-left (Soros included). Practically, from now on, nobody will have the courage to criticize (or - Heaven forbid! - ridicule) the US president as a person or his policies (no matter how deranged) without being labeled a racist and legally accused of racism, the supreme sin according to the PC rule of law.
El Lider Maximo is untouchable (unlike mere mortals) due to his skin pigmentation. Good start.

Lucille, your response begs the question I posed.
What would happen if "The American League of Persecuted Pale People" were to be formed?
Would they end up in court, especially if they used the term "white people" (less alliterative, that's why I chose "pale")?
If they were prosecuted, would that be separate and unequal treatment?
You're right, the NAACP is indeed over a hundred years old. So what. Lots of organizations change their names. Some even go out of existence.
What the NAACP set out to do has been accomplished. Like all bureaucracies, it continues on -- and not very meritoriously at that. Charity Navigator lists it as #7 (of 10) in a distinguished group they call "Highly Paid CEOs at Low-Rated Charities".
I was a member of the NAACP for years and I know how little to nothing the local groups are given by the national organization.
So the NAACP was founded a century ago, in a different climate when lynching was common. Were they honest, they'd disband or find another way to help people, not based on skin pigmentation.
OTOH, Bill Cosby's "Come on People" has it right: quit victimizing yourself, stop whining, take responsibility for yourself and your people. He’s talking to the underclass, not just black folks. Interestingly, he is admired by both groups of that class. It is the entrenched bureaucracy – sullen groups like the NAACP – which find Cosby’s upbeat, characteristically American ideas a threat.
Cosby will send you books for free to pass around. When was the last time the NAACP did anything that creative?
Oh…and the Anti-Defamation League should’ve closed long ago. Ditto the Zionist Organization of America. It’s #8 on that list above.
The Italians should get over it. Disband the Order of the Sons of Italy. The fighting between them and the ADL is energy that could be better used in building up our commonweal.
I don't give a fig about the origins of p.c. What does matter is they’ve gained a strangle hold on social discourse in this country, silencing dialogue.
You mention W.E.B. Dubois. He hated America.
His chronic censure contributed to the aggrieved resentment nearly every black American must now grapple with in order to become fully himself. Then Dubois abandoned everyone, moving to Ghana and Communism.
Some people can only energize themselves with the white* heat of anger. They may do some good, but many people suffer as a result of these “leaders” and their unrelentingly livid assault on reality.
How much more effective he would have been had he led from the force of moral justice as Martin Luther King was to do!

*class: is the use of “white heat” a sign of racist language? If not, why not?

Did I miss the post on those jailed skinheads or something? Are they merely victimized white men as well? Being the 'victim' is de rigeur at GoV, so this post isn't too far from the norm other than the more overt use of odd statements such as "accident of skin pigmentation". Accident? Is that what all people of color are to Baron and Dymphna? This is why Baron deserves a "Wingnut of the Year" award, though he may only get it here.
P.S. Dymphna was a member of the NAACP???
