NAACP are a bunch of shit stirring slack jawed faggots. I hate their guts. They are just as bad as the KKK in keeping Americans divided by race.
Much like labor unions, there was a time when the NAACP was needed, but now they are no longer needed, and cause much much more harm than good.
Anybody who is offended by that card is a fucking loser.

Apparently, someone has forgotten what real racism is.
What a bunch of fucking morons. I've said it before, I'll say it again: No one tries harder to keep racism alive like blacks do.

By Hugh Collins, AOL News
(June 12) -- Hallmark has pulled one of its graduation cards off the shelves after the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People complained that it used racial stereotypes and contained an abusive slur aimed at black women.
The card's micro speaker has two Hallmark characters, Hoops and Yoyo, bantering about how the graduate is going to dominate the universe.
They tell the planets to "watch your back" and issue a stern warning to "ominous" black holes.
That's where the NAACP got angry. They say that the audio sounds more like "black whores," and that card is implying that black women are not as capable or as powerful as their white counterparts.
"It's passive intent aggressively stated in a way that makes African-Americans feel insulted," Olivia Verrett, president of the Carson-Torrance branch of the NAACP in California told local news site The Daily Breeze.
The card is saying that "I (as a black woman) am below class, and feel as though I can run the universe, but I'm not going to run the universe because I have to watch my back," Verrett said.
Hallmark has acted swiftly. They told all their franchises to pull the card from their shelves, and destroyed their inventory of the card.
Still, the greeting-card company denies that there is any kind of racial subtext to the card, which has been on sale for three years.
Spokesman Steve Doyal insisted that it is simply a light-hearted message about graduates feeling so powerful they can dominate the universe -- even matter-devouring black holes.
"The intent here is to say that this graduate is not afraid of anything," Doyal told a local ABC affiliate.
The NAACP disagrees. It's calling for a formal apology. "I think Hallmark owes an apology," Carson City Councilwoman Lula Davis-Holmes, a member of the NAACP, told The Daily Breeze. "People are outraged."

Ridiculous. I love "Hoops and Yoyo" and believe this is a clear example of someone drawing a conclusion that has absolutely no merit.

I'm not Hallmark, but here's an apology: We're sorry we ever brought you over to pick cotton.
There, feel better?
I think the NAACP is bored. This was obviously not racist, and they know it. Just a way to get headlines....
Sounds like they aren't seeing the action they expected when a half black president came in so they're taking out their frustrations on 2 harmless cartoon characters.....

You're joking, right?
what about if you hear on the news a mother and son were stabbing each other over a cheeseburger and you're not surprised they are black? is that racist or just the way the fucking world is. you are RIGHT btw but it's not politically right to draw the right conclusion.

In this day and age where recasting white roles to black roles is the norm, are you surprised?

The best bit that I've ever read on the issue of slavery and recompense:
"Obviously all the people actually involved are dead now so there is nothing I can do for them so it's their ancestors I feel I must recompense.
I have a simple formula, all we need to do it work out the average yearly income of African Americans and the average income of Africans to get a figure of how much worse off the African Americans are. Then multilply that by the average lifespan of an African American and the number of them who can prove their ancestors were slaves.
I'll accept payment in gold bullion."
Rorschach's Journal June 12th: Seems my theory is correct when 2 entity's no longer fit a function they can cancel one another out. Booked the Annual Conferences of the Imperial Klans of America, Knight's of the KKK and NAACP all on the same day, in opposing conference rooms.... Problem has resolved itself .┐┌.
Oh my fucking god. These people can 
any five year old with a hearing disorder can tell it says holes. I can clearly understand it, even with my shitty laptop speakers and the tv in the background. Fucking naggers.

I thought there was talk of an African American Jimmy Olsen in the Superman reboot at one point.
Supes had a black suit for a time, too.

Look, an African American!
True.*
"Maria Teresa Thierstein Simões Ferreira was born to Portuguese parents in Mozambique, at the time a Portuguese colony," according to her Wiki page.
She's married to John Kerry and has her American citizenship.
*Or is it? Portuguese American? If Mozambique was a Portuguese colony when she was born...
Never mind.
Who's that actress from "Monster"?
Charlize Theron!
She's South African and became an American citizen in 2007.
Is she holding a plunger in her hand?
