"Local yokel" NAACP leader rejects national org.'s marriage equality endorsement

[bullwinkle428]

"The president of the Iowa & Nebraska branch of the NAACP is uncertain about his future with the group after its national board of directors endorsed same-sex marriage.

The president, the Rev. Keith Ratliff Sr. of Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church in Des Moines, has been a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage rights, and even supported conservative Republican Bob Vander Plaats for governor in 2010 because of the issue.

That position places him at odds with the national NAACP board of directors, which voted on Saturday to support “marriage equality.” Ratliff said he is one of the 64 members of that board, but was not present for the meeting in Florida and would’ve voted against the resolution had he been there.

“Marriage equality, for me, is between a man and a woman, period. There is no other definition for me,” Ratliff said Tuesday."

I can't believe this assclown went as far as endorsing Bob VanderPlaats in 2010 - VanderPlaats is a vile, despicable bigot who has turned his hate for the LGBT community into a career.

2. Well, that should be enough to indict every black person in America.

That's the idea, anyhow. More ink for the outlier!!
