what would happen to the naacp and guys like al sharpton and jesse jackson if racism was eradicated

this sean bell situation in NYC really got me thinking. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Bell)

it is an awful situation when any young person gets shot and nobody knows the whole circumstances of the situation. but like many things it got sprung into a racial issue (the minority vs. the man or in this case, the blacks vs. the cops)

it was a media circus with al sharpton in the center....

so... it got me thinking... the NAACP and advocates of similar causes (e.g. Shaprton, Jackson) "thrive" on racism... what would happen (in a vacuum, utopia, a perfect world, or something of the nature) if racism were turned off just like that...

and don't say it wont happen, i know that, you know that, im just putting out a hypothetical situation.

They would lose their constituencies? Then again, they would probably retain some by using the fear of return of racism.

This seems so amazingly unlikely though, I feel like we might as well be discussing what the roles of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will be in defending humanity from the oncoming Robo-Apocalypse.

Sharpon would be a Preacher.
Jessee Jackson would be President of the United States.

They would have to get real jobs?

the shawn bell thing was unfortunate, but i don't like the whole racism bit b/c the majority of officers at the scene were themselves black. of course, black on black crime is at its highest percentage ever... if racism was erradicated... it never will be. people like sharpton and jesse "shakedown" jackson make their living off of it. but when people of color do excel and make advancements (but don't cowtow to the democrat black caucus), they're called "uncle toms" (racism). Even in Barak Obama's case, Al Sharpton dissed him big time at the Black State of the Union event. He said, "He may be 'our kind' but until he shows his support for us he is not 'one of us.'" He then asked Obama, "Who do you serve?" I.e., white people, or them. He's a racist, and a money-lover. The kingdom of heaven is not for that kind of "preacher."

Then maybe they'de become a charity organization, to help impoverished blacks

Or if we still had racial dividers (black, white, asian) would that still be a form of Racism?

They would be no-bodies. Their goal is to keep "racism" in the media by what ever means they can come up with. Why do you think they race to every event where they can scream 'racism' at the top of their lungs?

They'd have massive parties to celebrate it, and those who helped to bring it about would be heros. :wine: :thumbsup:

And we wouldn't see posts with bigoted undertones like this:

John Lennon said it best:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

They'd fight for a different cause.

If it were eradicated they'd just bring it back. Making up fake stories and whatnot.

I figured that this thread was troll bait for the forum's bigots.
