NAACP is angry at a hallmark card.... >_>

[QUOTE="Bourbons3"][QUOTE="Communistik"]

I'm surprised to see you, of all people, asking this question.

If this story is any indication, they won't stop until they have more rights than everyone else.

Communistik

They're completely out of touch. I'm just surprised to see you acknowledge something like that about a liberal organization.

Uh huh, because all liberal leaning folks support all liberal organizations right? Wrong. This is as ridiculous as assuming that all republicans watch and love Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the 700 Club.

[QUOTE="xromad01"]my grandparents(rip) on both sides were more racist than anyone i will ever meet.but the older i get,the more i begin to understand them.it is sad but i suppose it may be natural for humans.TBoogy

The NAACP should go after this problem at its source and finally address the overt racism found in our solar system.

As I've said in other threads here at GameSpot about this Hallmark/NAACP incident...

They hear what they want to hear just to have something to complain about and Hallmark are cowards(though understandable)for pulling the card after it's been out for 2+ years withno incident just for some cry babies.

Maybe I'm underestimating the damage that can be done by crybabies like these folk complaining even though they're clearly in the wrong, but it all goes to wonder why try to raise "awareness" on something that isn't even what they claim for it to be....

:|..thats just stupid

What's sad is Hallmark won't even fight back. They know they're in the right, why not put the NAACP in it's place?

It'll just give them press time, which is exactly what the NAACP wants. Not to mention, it isn't worth the time and money Hallmark will put in to keep one freaking card on the shelf.

But yeah, old story.

Seems like these days the only people racist against black people, are other black people. These people hear what they want to hear... They're paranoid beyond extremes, it's extremely laughable...mike_me

My thoughts exactly

The idea that racism that doesn't exist anymore is a myth. People are still racist against blacks.

Its obvious there is still racism, I just think it doesnt help the situation when NAACP goes instigating things like this. Its counter productive to what they were formed to do

Is the NAACP even needed anymore in 2010?

I'm sure many NAACP members are prejudiced.

Yay! Because I, gamerguru100, posted in a race thread, this thread is now DEAD.:roll::P

Is the NAACP even necessary now? Coloured people now have the same rights as everybody.

God these old people have bad hearing. I coudl distinguish the L in wholes. Its not an R. God seems like black people are trying to come up with anything to bring back up this racists stuff.

"Black people", as a group, haven't done anything.

[QUOTE="cybrcatter"]That would be the dumbest move they could make in this situation. How will that make them more money? airshocker

I'd be willing to bet it won't lose them any money. Honestly, can you really tell me you think the NAACP isn't insane and out of touch with reality?

Haillmark would be hailed as heroes and probably sell even more cards if they said everything I just touched on.

Uh, I'm willing to bet it would. Seems a bit naive to think a company telling a black rights organization to "shove it" wouldn't generate bad press, especially when you're trying to represent your company as family-friendly and wholesome.

It's that you seemed to have a position akin to mine, so I didn't need to argue. :P

the NAACP is just a group of racist black people

Yeah this was posted here a few weeks ago...

black holes is racist??? people need to stop trying to make controversy where there is none.... the card would make no sense if they were saying black wh---s... :roll:

Reminds me of this story a couple of years ago when a lawyer used the term 'black hole' and it was deemed racist.

There is nothing wrong with telling a bunch of racists to go shove it. And don't even deny it, the NAACP is undeniably racist.

What makes them all racists?

Well, glad they pulled it, because it is very annoying. Not racist, but very annoying.

:| What? They may go overboard on ridiculous things like this, but racist?

WTF is wrong with these people? I don't even have the card and I can tell from the shotty audio on youtube that they say black holes. That was the very first thing I think the card said as soon as i first watched it. How they get hoes or anything else is beyond me. I swear to god, some older black person prob saw this at hallmark and raised so much crap that they had to remove it. I seriously think the NAACP needs to tone down what it thinks is racist. It only does it so we actually remember the NAACP still even exists.

This just shows how freaking stupid they are.
