There are so many things wrong here.

OMG: NAACP leader uses F-word to apologize for using T-word after N-word meeting

The NAACP’s mission of political correctness and equality careened off the rails this week when a local president complimented a TV reporters breasts during an interview.

In the course of the apology he drops the F bomb.
He's resigned.

Give him a break. He's one of the best God damned people in the state.

Ah, the Internet. The gift that just keeps on giving.

The guy hasn't resigned, by the way. He's hoping to ride this out. Good luck with that.

Actual quote from a reporter in my shop this week: "On the record, he says he's 'deeply sorry.' Off the record he says 'How many time do I have to ****ing apologize to you ****ing people?'"

Wait a minute ... the leader of the Phoenix NAACP is an old white guy?

Whites is a color

What's the AP style guide say about the NAACP? Do you always spell it out on the first reference or is Colored People more inappropriate than a fact?

DAMNIT! You people around here know me too well.

BTW, I didn't find a "good"'photo, i.e. ample cleavage. Every photo I found was rather disappointingly conservative.

Well, then, time to go look at porn ... :cool:

Early returns are encouraging

Suffice it to say... plenty of us in Phoenix were surprised to discover that too. His predecessor was an African-American minister and was much more high-profile. I remember the previous guy leaving the post, but hadn't seen a thing about his replacement until now.

Decades ago in the early days of the NAACP, white members or officials were not unusual.

Then maybe search again. The first photo I saw was appropriate for this thread, but I ain't posting it 'cause I'm at work.

I think Barry Goldwater was fairly prominent in the Phoenix-area NAACP back in his early days.

He was right... She's well-endowed.
