New Sisyphus

New Sisyphus: "Back to 'Tookie's' execution: I can understand being against the death penalty. I almost am against it myself. But rallying in defense of a killer? Crying when he is executed? What is that about? And for the life of me I do not understand why Black 'leaders' get so personally invested in stories like this. What is the NAACP saying by zealously representing Williams and pleading for his life? That the cause of Stanley Williams is central to Black people as a whole? There are only two possible answers to that: 1) if no, then the NAACP is wasting precious time, resources and it's still somewhat good name, 2) if yes, then it's a sad statement of where the NAACP thinks Black people are in this country and one I don't buy."
