NAACP won’t directly address racism leveled against Clarence Thomas at progressive protest

The NAACP ran a full court press campaign against alleged racism within the Tea Party movement in the months preceding the 2010 midterm elections, and launched websites like TeaPartyTracker.org that featured video and reports from left-wing advocacy group Media Matters, liberal blog ThinkProgress and misleading video-journalist duo New Left Media. But, the NAACP didn’t address the racist remarks made toward black conservatives during that same time period, including Borelli.

Borelli told TheDC that she sees a double standard.

“My takeaway is the significant double standard that is displayed here when it comes to what we’ve witnessed on this video versus how black conservatives are also attacked and the NAACP remains silent,” Borelli said in a phone interview. “The NAACP, and I’m sure you know this, they were basically hired by George Soros to track racism in the Tea Party movement.”

The NAACP did condemn racist attacks against former black secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice during George W. Bush’s presidency.
