White Lives Matter group protests outside NAACP in Houston's Third Ward

Source: sfgate.com

The Confederate flag waved in front of the NAACP office Sunday. The red flag with its blue X holding white stars hung over the shoulder of a White Lives Matter member who was joined by others in his group in a protest against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"We came out here to protest against the NAACP and their failure in speaking out against the atrocities that organizations like Black Lives Matter and other pro-black organizations have caused the attack and killing of white police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature," White Lives Matter member Ken Reed said. "If they're going to be a civil rights organization and defend their people, they also need to hold their people accountable."

The protest drew much attention as people took photos of the group which held assault rifles and "White Lives Matter" signs on the Third Ward block.

"We're not out here to instigate or start any problems," Reed said. "Obviously we're exercising our Second Amendment rights but that's because we have to defend ourselves. Their organizations and their people are shooting people based on the color of their skin. We're not. We definitely will defend ourselves, but we're not out here to start any problems.

I've heard that the Klan is getting away from using white sheets. There has been too many mishaps with them. People suffocating by wearing the hood backward, eyes getting poked out by cutting the eye-holes with the hood on, and of course even the king size sheets don't fit most of the members. Also there was that very unfortunate incident in Northern Georgia with the form fitting sheets. Not the thing to wear around a burning cross.

They don't get it at all.

I saw a pickup truck recently that had 2 bumper stickers on the tailgate, one had the confederate flag and said "heritage not hate' and the other had an American flag and said "these colors don't run".

My initial reaction is that they don't have a clue and couldn't buy one for penny.

Conservative militia requests/encourages killing of police.

Starts about 10:40 on the timeline

One of our Christian, patriot, conservative militia heroes encouraging supporters to come shoot the police when they conquered and captured an unmanned Federal nature preserve in Oregon.

Where were our conservatives to call this out as wrong?



Our conservatives have many more guns than black folks do.

That's right, cops are covering for the armed whites against the unarmed minorities and against the NAACP. Here it is 2016 and the cops are still siding with the Klan.

The police are still as anti-black as they've always been.

Over the weekend?

The police wouldn't let them go into work? Not really a question - but think about it. . .

They were inconveniencing people who have IMPORTANT work - important things to do - places to be.

It's very very inconvenient and they should have check with the NAACP to make sure it wasn't at a time when it would be inconvenient to them.

MrScorpio - I know you get me comments!
