NAACP Continues In Struggle..Not The Civil Rights One

NAACP Continues In Struggle...Not The Civil Rights One...
www.keepingitright.blogspot.com

Word of Bruce Gordons, resignation citing irreconcible differences with the Board Members kind of put a damper on the Alabama Marches this weekend. Gordon, who had served only 19 months said that in addition to fighting discrimination, ahhh black racial discrimination that is, that the group should focus on social services issues. In other words, helping blacks help themselves instead of standing in line for forty acres and a damn mule. The board, thinks otherwise and still want to BMW (Bitch, moan and whine) about issues that are not as prevalent as they were, since the damn group started. Yes, individuals do experience racism and yes, there are some types of discrimination, but when was the last time a Afamerican, was hung or lynched for exercising their fundamental and basic civil rights..And hell, individuals or groups who were responsible for those gruesome deaths are starting to pay the price of their heinous crimes.


So whats the mission statement for the NAACP?

No one knows. Except the fact that they are supposed to fight racism, where they can find it. While, a high percentage of blacks are infected with AIDS/HIV, fifty percent high school drop out rates and of course single parent homes. The group has not responded to or addressed the issue of school choice, research or come up with a comprehensive retirement plan for Afamericans. The group, although has mentioned the problem of gangs, but as of yet have not put the energy into fighting gangs. I assume if the gangs were all white and wearing hoods they would make a little noise...Then why assume, I guess if the gangs were all white and wearing hoods and sheets they would make a little noise.

Mr. Gordon is right, along with looking for racial discrimination and picking what case they want to defend. Oh, wait! ambulance chasing every police brutality, police shooting and oh yeah Tookie Williams. The NAACP should be addressing the issues I just mentioned above. School choice, sex education in regard to HIV/AIDs, weening dependant blacks to self reliance, fighting and aligning themselves with front line police who deal with young black men murdered in our streets, by going after our own who exploit and imprison innocents in their homes in fear of gangs.

Time has passed the NAACP and it needs to fix itself or it will be a ghost of what they claim is still a problem...the past.
