BLACK PEOPLE using the Confederate battle flag to promote their cause - a smart attention-grabber, or out of bounds?
On a large poster outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Monday through Wednesday, smack in the face of 3,000 people attending the 106th Annual NAACP Convention, was the rebel flag, the same one recently hauled down by South Carolina.
Given what was going on inside, the poster shrieked.
The flag was the left panel of two condemning abortion. The right panel depicted a 10-week-old aborted fetus.
Under the flag were the words: "Evil done to us?" The words under the fetus were: "Evil done by us?" The imagery was powerful.
There were posters on two other corners, all brought there to be in the grill of the NAACP by the Rev. Clenard Childress, the black pastor of the New Calvary Baptist Church in Montclair, N.J.
