NAACP Is Furious After Navy Names Ship After THIS President The Navy decided to name their newest ship after our nations 7th president, Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, like many of our early presidents, was a slave owner. The NAACP is freaking out over the fact that he is being celebrated. This is totally appalling, Connecticut NAACP President Scot X. Esdaile told CNN, who described Jackson as a big-time slavemaster, pro slavery, the whole nine yards. Amazing how we have an African-American president and the U.S. Navy slipped this thing through. I think it should be reconsidered. The NAACP seems to get offended by absolutely nothing these days. Do they really think there was racist intent in this honor? Do you think the NAACP is overreacting?
