Friday Game. Guess the NAACP's stance on these issues

::::Scroll down for answers:::::



  1. Don Imus' "Nappy Headed Ho's gaffe
  2. Michael Vick's Dog Fighting
  3. Isaiah Washington's anti-gay comments
  4. Duke Lacrosse Players
  5. Rush Limbaugh's Donovan McNabb comment



  1. The NAACP commends CBS and MSNBC for removing Don Imus from their networks and also recognizes that further action is needed to eradicate such hurtful speech from our popular culture.


  2. "As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," said R.L. White, president of the group's Atlanta chapter. "We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."


  3. “If he’s being let go because of that incident, I’m not sure the punishment fits the crime,” said Vic Bullock, executive director of the Hollywood bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP has asked ABC for “further clarity,” Bullock said.

    They even gave Isaiah an Image Award.

  4. During that case, the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP didn't show the same restraint that you're calling for now. In fact, they posted on their website 82 laws and torts that the lacrosse players supposedly broke, according to published reports, before the case ever went to trial--a trial that obviously, as you pointed out, never happened because all charges were eventually dropped.Why is the situation with Michael Vick different than the Duke lacrosse case, when the North Carolina chapter was guilty of doing exactly what you're asking people not to do?


  5. The NAACP also condemned Limbaugh's remarks, calling them "bigoted and ignorant," and called for the network to fire Limbaugh...


I could go on and on, but I'm getting a bit tired.
