The number one reason people have cable modem in the "Hood" is for online console gaming.

Also just becuase someone lives in a poor housing area does not mean that they actually are poor. African Americans tend to hold out in a nieghborhood even if it is falling. Those who do leave are labled "Sell outs" for not staying in a bad area and moving to the subss.

For the same reason the Christian Coalition is still around.
The NAACP is out there spreading the gospel too?!?!?
Since when does the Christian Coalition go around spreading the gospel? They're a political organization.

I hope that this is a joke. If parents would watch what their kids are doing, and use vchip and monitoring software on the computers.... you know what, forget it, my mind is going numb from reading what you posted.
It was sort of a joke (guess you haven't seen many of my news comments before).

NAACP found the problem with broadband.

It's not net neutrality. It's not munis. It's not the digital divide.

After long and careful study, the NAACP has determined....

wait for it....

The problem is white people!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH (WELL FINGERS).

I have not been on this forum long; however, anytime anything is posted about AA people, New Orleans, Africa, etc., it is always a "problem". Everyone's "true colors" come out.

I would have to disagree! the number one reason has to be cable tv! online gaming might be the second reason, did you ever notice the kids in the "HOOD" dance? they dance better then the dancers in the videos, and lets not talk about sports

Re: Painting all opponents of "net neutrality" with sell-out ...

I don't see how you think BBR (Karl) was "playing propaganda" on this one--his point WAS the intersection of two stories otherwise not connected in the media. The point was that the NAACP is bashing Bush on Broadband in Washington, but is opposing the traditional consumer groups on a broadband-deployment-related bill in Tallahassee. That's a valid story.

Frankly, the fact that the consumer advocates lost to the NAACP side by a huge margin in one house of the Florida legislature isn't really even news--except for the related fact that the NAACP position gave lots of legislators (particularly Democrats) "cover" to vote against the consumer advocates.

NAACP should be disbanded

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

The name seems racist in and of itself.

IMO in this day and age there should be no race specific organization fighting for civil rights. It is everyones responsibility to insure that our civil rights our respected. These organizations should be replaced by non race specific organizations.

For those of you that may think that what I say is racist, turn the situation around. What if there was a National Association for the Advancement of White People? How would that be viewed? What if there was a White Entertainment Television?

You need to go back and review 500+ years AA history and see why this organization was created and needed or perhaps you agree with all the atrocities committed against AA people which is why you resent it so much.

You do realize that blacks aren't the only ones that had atrocities committed against them right?

My point is that all races have been the target of civil rights violations not just blacks. Why should one race have their civil rights protected and more than another? We are all equal and should have equal protection.

Then they can create their own organization just as AA's have created the NAACP which I "think" was critical at the time of it's inception back in 1912 (helloooo!!!)to keep from being lynched (unsuccessful) and to fight for basic human rights that that every non AA person had automatically. If "WE" weren't going to create an organization to protect ourselves certainly no one else was going to do it for "US". And if you can't understand that then I don't know what to say other than put yourself in those people's shoes back then and see how you would feel.

Non AA people were threatened by this organization back then as they still are today in the 21st century.

The NAACP certainly was needed in 1912. I am not saying that the NAACP wasn't needed. Times have changed and so should the NAACP.

Re: Painting all opponents of "net neutrality" with sell-out ...

You are bias for you own reasons and I would say just as with everyone else it is money motivated.

If you accept money or any benefits from anyone for any reason then your opinion is skewed and has little value in a debate. So if the NAACP does accept money from any telco or cable company then their opinion is worthless.

For the most part the NAACP is worthless regardless. Their political agenda lost it focus of bringing equality to it's people a long time ago.

Re: NAACP should be disbanded

Philadelphia has over 65% colored people. They have advanced to the point that we have a colored mayor and most of the city council are colored. They can't advance any further politically in Philly.

There have been over 140 murders so far in 2007 in Philly and most are black-on-black crimes.

While the naacp is out there marching for equal rights, their people are sitting in bars getting drunk, shooting heroin and smoking cocaine, and killing each other for stupid reasons. The naacp is no longer needed in Philly and most of the country.

In Philly we need a NAAWP to counteract the destruction of the city that has taken place since the coloreds became the majority and whites became the minority. Whites are fleeing the city, scared that the coloreds are going to murder them next. Drugs are sold by the coloreds in open air markets throughout their ghettos. And their ghettos were created by them! What were once burgeoning family neighborhoods with small mom and pop businesses on every corner are now slums because people are scared to do business with the drugs being sold on the same street corners.

We do not need to advance the coloreds here in Philly. Please take note that the advancement took place but didn't help. For every black doctor and lawyer there are 10,000 drug addicted idiots ready to kill each other and innocent folks for their next fix.

And black racists are worse than white racists because a long time ago the blacks were once victims of racism and now they play the race card. Shame on you.
