Black athletes, their families, fans and more, are being told by the NAACP to discriminate against schools in eight states that are in the process of removing racism from their congressional districts.
The organization announced its “Out of Bounds” agenda for those in order to fight back against a Supreme Court decision that said the Voting Rights Act did not require states to set up special congressional districts, gerrymandered so that blacks would be in the majority, to elect blacks to Congress.
Such neutrality was too much for the NAACP.
“The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies. In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability. ‘Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected.’ —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP.”

A report at Twitchy said the organization was targeting eight states that, the NAACP said, “have moved to limit, weaken, or eras black voting representation.”
Actually the Supreme Court delivered no such conclusion. There are no barriers to any black American voting for any candidate and none for any candidate, black, white or other, to be elected.
What it said states were not required to gerrymander their voters in order to create a special district with a majority of black voters.
The group is targeting the states of Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas and others.
The @NAACP is asking young black athletes to give up their athletic career, which could lead them to a highly lucrative future that would benefit their families, as well as a college education because Democrats can’t force states to create artificial minority districts.

Just say you want segregation.
It’d be more honest.

So much hate in the NAACP. Not only will you hurt the schools, but you also hurt the athletes. The SEC is a powerhouse where many many black athletes have gone on to be great stars in the NFL. But go ahead deny their chance.

You want black athletes to give up their opportunity to play sports, earn a living, & pay for college because your organization lost the war over race based congressional districts? That’s asinine. They don’t have to lose their jobs just because you sucked at yours.
