As President of the Rosenberg Foundation, (one of many groups responsible for the Marxist May 1 amnesty marches, Benjamin Tod Jealous (35 years old) takes over the NAACP after a year without a President.

Before taking over the NAACP, Jealous was President of the Rosenberg Foundation, human rights director for Amnesty International, executive director of the National Newspaper Publishers Association ( a black publisher's group) and was the personal selection of NAACP Chairman Julian Bond.

The Rosenberg Foundation helped initially fund The Center for Community Change, which is part of the Democracy Alliance, which is funded in part by George Soros and that means, Jealous is directly connected to:

ACORN, Air America Radio network, America Votes, American Foreign Policy, Catalist, Center for American Progress, Center for Community Change, Center for Progressive Leadership, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, CREW, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, EMILY's List, Kirwan Institute, Media Matters for America, New Democratic Network, People for the American Way, Progressive Majority, Sierra Club, USAction Young People For, Women's Voices. Women Vote.

It is not new that the NAACP has been in the hip pocket of the progressive movement, but now with Jealous at the helm, it is clearly controlled by it.

Under Jealous, Rosenberg granted money to: National Council of La Raza, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights
of Los Angeles, Economic Policy Institute, Chinese Progressive Association, National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) Legal Defense and Education Fund, The Urban Institute, Mexican-American Legal Defense
and Education Fund, National Employment Law Project, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, National Immigration Law Center, Farmworker Justice Fund, Center for Community Change, Equal Justice Society, Brennan Center for Justice, Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest, Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues: among many others.

CNN wrote: "When the 34-21 vote was announced, "no one clapped or celebrated," one board member said after the meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. Jealous was the only finalist presented by the search committee to the full board for consideration. Some board members wanted to hear from two others whom the search committee identified as finalists, but Jealous' supporters prevented it, sources said."

So who were those other candidates?

"According to search committee sources, the finalists for NAACP president and CEO are: Benjamin Todd Jealous, 35, president of the Rosenberg Foundation; the Rev. Frederick D. Haynes III, 47, senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas; and Alvin Brown, 37, a former White House official now working on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign." Link.

The fix was in. Jealous is now NAACP President. He has very bad career timing.

The above guy is black?

That guy is looks really, really white.

I know it can happen, I actually had a girlfriend who's father was black that looked about as white as that guy, but geeze, the late-night talk show jokes write themselves.

Wright looks light skinned, but he still looks fairly black to me. This guy I would never guess had African heritage unless you told me. I mean, once you know, you can see some usual African facial features in him (kind of like my ex-girlfriend), but you can't tell by looking at him initially.

I'm honestly just surprised that the NAACP doesn't mind. In spite of the fact that they always claim to be against racism, there is a LOT of division among certain blacks over which ones really "look black" or not.

The left really doesn't get it do they???

Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

We ourselves belong to a center-right organization that seems to believe that if we only keep drifting more leftward, we'll be popular and successful again -- you know, like the Reagan Revolution was.

And while we're saying that, we should parse that sentence just one more time....
