| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34455019 United States12/12/2014 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Again here in NC a new case of racial issues is brought up. However it wasn't racial until now?? I wonder why Quoting: pmb1 The North Carolina NAACP has called on top lawmakers in the state to join in calling for a new investigation into the death of 17-year-old Lennon Lacy, a black teenager who was found hanging from a swing set in August. An independent autopsy on the teen's body calls into question the police department's decision to record the death as a suicide. In its November letter, the NAACP pointed out that the organization has had previous experience with what it called “quick call suicides,” in which “suspicious deaths of black men are quickly classified as ‘suicides.’” “This cycle of distrust happened here,” the letter said. “Given the deep distrust that had developed between the family and the current investigators; given the possible race-based animus toward Lennon and his family by some of their neighbors; given the close connections in this small town between local law enforcement and witnesses involved in interactions with Lennon just before, during, and after the night of his death; given the illegal drug transactions in and around this case; we believe that the intervention of the U.S. Department of Justice is necessary.” Less then 50% More here: [link to www.ibtimes.com] The NAACP? Give me a break. They did not even have a black President of the NAACP until 1975. If you want to know who is really behind it, there is your start point. |

I don't care who is behind the NAACP, what matters is that a suicide is being called racists. I am taking it you didn't read the story. |

There is an underlying agenda- an agent provocateur- who stays in the shadows and created the NAACP to stir up exactly this type of bullshit. I get it that a suicide is being called racist - but who has pushed things to this ridiculous point? And why? |
