Thread Name: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Subject: RE: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Fact: the injunction requested by Adams Mark to prevent NAACP picketing of their hotels for consistent, institutionalized racial discrimination was denied last Friday. Adams Mark has chosen NOT to appeal this decision.

Fact: the NAACP reinstated it's boycott of the hotel chain, begun in 1999, in the wake of the decision last Friday.

Fact: the NAACP began picketing Adams Mark hotels over the last weekend.

Fact: first thing Monday morning, the Executive Director of the North American Folk Alliance released a statement saying that the North American Folk Alliance would not honor the NAACP boycott, and would go ahead with it's scheduled national conference in Jacksonville, FL at the Adams Mark Jacksonville hotel.

Take it from there middle grounders. Wallow indecisively in your moral middle ground. Don't decide which side you are on, since taking sides is an immoral stance to middle grounders.

Remember, no one is always right, so use that as an excuse to club everyone around you into polite, reasoned submission to the morally superior principals of grey.

We all know our middle ground anatomy: no backbone, and no guts.

Salute and applaud yourselves.
