NAACP Demands Easier Work for Minorities Cleaning the Gulf

In their latest rant, the NAACP is accusing BP of "disproportionately assigning its most hazardous, low-paying" cleanup jobs to minorities.

The NAACP's president, Benjamin Jealous, claims that BP is keeping minorities from participating in mitigation tasks, and instead, should establish "monitoring mechanisms" to make sure minorities are not disproportionately being given menial tasks in the company's efforts to clean the Gulf.

Racism, racism everywhere!
