According to the City Beat Blog, it appears The Cincinnati Branch of The NAACP has received a ruling from the national NAACP office instructing said office to conduct an entirely new vote on the presidency of this our local branch.
As you probably know by now the first election took place back in November 2006.
Incumbent president Edith Thrower and her challenger Christopher Smitherman will get another chance to see who will prevail and take the helm.
There's a regularly scheduled meeting on February 22, 2007., at The Thomas A. Moore Building on Montgomery Road in Evanston. The time (I believe correct me if I'm mistaken) is at 7:00 PM.
Will new procedures needed to ensure a fair election be discussed? Will more chaos and disorder ensue? Will more old men allegedly be beaten up and cursed out? Will another preacher allegedly threaten to shoot folks? Will the incumbent president allow all voices to be heard at this meeting as it was stated by several folks I spoke with, was not allowed at last months meeting? Will Ms. Thrower's challenger for the presidency speak at the meeting on his own behalf or have his flunkies do it for him?
This and more friends, as our story of "WILL THE REAL PRESIDENT OF THE NAACP PLEASE STAND UP"! Continues.....
Christopher Smitherman is full of shit and he needs to get out of the way and go find some else to hijack. So it's ok if the NAACP national convention comes here to break the boycott while injustices are still occuring but he would suggest boycott if he's not president?!? How self-serving and self-righteous! He won't get back on City council and he won't be NAACP president. He cares about no one other than himself and people see it and the people will act accordingly.
ReplyDeleteTo the person that wrote about Christopher Smitherman is a strong man, unlike you, he's not scared of the status quo. When he was on city council he stood up to all the things that was against black people even if he had to do it buy himself, Who do you know that has done that in this city? None!!
ReplyDeleteHe did no more than what the activist were already doing. He just got paid $60,000 per year for doing it.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right sister!
ReplyDeleteChristopher Smitherman is a good man, full of energy and is a very wise person. He always think before he do. He do what is right for black people in this city, we may not understand it all but we all will benifit from what he has and will do when he becomes the NAACP President.
ReplyDeleteNikki X, are you mad at Christopher Smitherman and why?
ReplyDeleteNikki X, who are you going for on this election or it doesn't mind to you?
ReplyDeleteChristopher Smitherman is a racist. I first met him before winning city council. My heart sank when I saw that he won the NAACP election. At least his true colors are showing now...a racist pig! Sorry, Christopher, I can't say congratulations this time. A former friend from your old workout center.
ReplyDeleteFormer friend was not a friend.
ReplyDeleteNo, former friend was a true friend. It was Christopher Smitherman who left with all his election money. I even visited him in the hospital from surgery complications! PLEASE! I miss the person he was acting to be, not the person he really is. He grew up white with the silver spoon and Jaguar.Now acts like he's from the hood.
