The Joe Wilson outburst has lead to a boycott by the Black Newspaper
Publishers to cancel their mid-winter conference in South Carolina.

In response to Rep. Joe Wilson and his "You Lie!" outburst during
President Barack Obama's health care address to a joint session Wednesday
night, at least one group has decided to make the congressman's entire
state pay the price.

"The National Newspaper Publisher’s Association (NNPA) announced in a
press release Thursday that it will not hold its January 2010 mid-winter
conference in South Carolina, and is joining the NAACP economic boycott
of the state that has been in effect since July 1999 when the South
Carolina NAACP called for it as a protest of the flag atop the State
House and inside the House and Senate chambers.

As African-American newspaper publishers we stand in solidarity with
the NAACP and fully support the economic boycott of South Carolina,"
stated NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. "Rep. Wilson’s remarks were
racist, disrespectful, and a disingenuous violation--not only of
President Obama--but to the institution of the presidency and only
solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars
where Black people are not respected.

"The continued public and blatant disrespect of President Barack
Obama by members of Congress will not be rewarded with our dollars nor
will a state that continues to uphold America’s shameful past by flying
the Confederate flag."

The original NAACP economic boycott of South Carolina calls on groups and
individuals to avoid traveling to the state for business or pleasure and
discouraged residents from visiting South Carolina beaches or patronizing
restaurants and motels.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association is a 69-year-old
federation of more than 200 black community newspapers from across the
United States. www.nnpa.org

All the good work of MLK Being torn apart by the NAACP. Colored people
should boycot NAACP if they know what's good for them.

But they will not. Someone forgot to mention that racism isn't just a white
make thing. If there was a NAAWP (White) organization for the same thing,
it would be deemed racist. Why not just drop the white/black/hispanic crap
and just say people, like "We the People...".

Sounds like we may have a racist president. Even acknowleding them as an
organization is pandering to it.
