OMG!
Cousin Becky has also disrespected a National Organization, the NAACP!!!
Well Plainfield, here we
go again…Councilwoman Rebecca Williams aka Cousin Becky continues to tell lies
and be disrespected! When will she
stop? The community is wondering why she
is so filled with anger and hatred.
Here’s more of a response to the lies that she posted…
Peter Briggs, my husband,
is the President of the Plainfield Area NAACP and a volunteer member of several
community groups, and in my opinion, he is one of the best humanitarians and
community servants that Plainfield has ever had. This is a man who can
regularly be seen volunteering his time and assisting others, from the goodness
of his heart. It saddens our families,
neighbors and friends to read the lies and nonsense that Rebecca has written
about him. He’s a very intelligent man
who does not let stupidity upset him.
Further, if he feels that someone is worthy of his time and effort, then
he will respond. Since Cousin Becky did
receive a response from Peter, then she got her answer! She’s obviously not worthy of his time, and many
people agree!
With regard to the
NAACP, how dare Cousin Becky write so negatively about a National Organization,
which is so near and dear to many of our hearts. Obviously, she needs a history lesson…but, isn’t
she suppose to be an educator? Oh well,
here’s a brief history lesson for you Madame Council Woman Cousin Becky, with
no consulting fee attached.
The National Association
For The Advancement Of Colored People was started over 100 years ago by a group
of white and black people who were devastated over the unfair treatment of
black people (ie, hangings, not being allowed to sit in the front of a bus, not
allowed to drink from all water fountains, being prevented from voting, and
many other areas of injustice). You Cousin
Becky, are standing on the shoulders of many giant leaders in their own right,
who have come before you, to fight for the rights of all people. This is an organization that I began
attending their meetings as a little girl.
At the age of six, I would help at Voter Registration Tables. Proudly, I
have been a member for several years. Since Cousin Becky gave erroneous
information, the truth is that two years ago when this writer ran for a state
office, the records will reflect that respectfully, this writer was the highest vote getter over all of the
candidates, for all of the positions, and when there was a re-election of all
positions, the result was the same…the highest number of votes. In fact, it was a National NAACP
representative who told this writer to run for State Conference President. I am
the former 4-term President of the Plainfield Area NAACP. I also served on the State NAACP level as
First Vice, Second Vice, Third Vice and Executive Committee Member. Funny,
no one remembers seeing Cousin Becky in any positions of leadership or at any
of the meetings or events to support anyone’s rights. Hmmm.
At another time, face to face, accurate information will be provided
about NAACP elections. Members of the National and various State Conference
Leaders recognize our long history of leadership in Plainfield. The NAACP has
had major accomplishments. It is a
genuine asset to have a branch of this country’s oldest National Civil Rights
Organization located right here in the City of Plainfield. And, our membership and branch is very
active. Again, we pride ourselves in
upholding the rights of all people. This
should be relevant to Cousin Becky since she represent three minority groups,
and the NAACP has stood up for all of them.
Again, as an educator, she should realize that she is standing on the
shoulders of some incredible people…Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,. Mrs. Rosa
Parks, Chairman Julian Bond, President Ben Jealous, President Peter Briggs and
many others.
The good name of the
NAACP will NOT be tarnished by someone who refuses to take the time to support
the civil rights of all people. For
instance, the Plainfield Area NAACP held rallies to denounce the violence to
young men such as Trayvon Martin and others…where was Councilwoman Rebecca
Williams? Certainly missing in
action. When the Plainfield Area NAACP
held annual Black History Month events to honor Plainfield middle school youth
of various ethnicities…where was Councilwoman Rebecca Williams? No where to be
found. When the Plainfield Area NAACP
was in the forefront with regard to fighting for Muhlenberg Hospital to be kept
in Plainfield as a full service facility, where was Councilwoman Rebecca
Williams? She was in a back room with Adrian
Mapp and some New Democrats continuing to make back door deals as they were in
favor of Muhlenberg closing its doors to our residents, and surrounding
communities. It’s been said that Cousin
Becky thought that she would receive some PERSONAL advantage-employment opportunity
by being a big part of the “Dump Muhlenberg” initiative. Becky and some New Democrats had their
representatives, including the former New Democrats President Adrian Mapp, at
the table when Solaris/Muhlenberg discussed closing the full service
facility. MY GOODNESS, was Cousin Becky
in favor of selling out Plainfield Residents for personal gain? How shocking!
How distressing! We do not need
Cousin Becky anymore!
