The NAACP Is At It Again



The St. Louis chapter of the NAACP, is again in the news regarding the Lenihan/Rice incident. Local chapter president Harold Crumpton, immediately called station KTRS requiring an apology. This is one more time the NAACP has weighed in on a subject. That doesn't advance what they call (Colored People). When people of position speak out on minuscle things like this. It only adds fuel to the fire. Situations like this wouldn't even make the news, if problem profiteers didn't keep bringing it up.

Why aren't they talking about this weeks past demonstration, in California. How successful it was, and how can they organize one with the same effect. I have always said the NAACP has outgrown it's purpose. Due to the fact they haven't changed with the times. Blacks today don't have the same issues as Blacks did in the fifties. The largest event they've had their name on lately. Is the 'Stanley Tookie Williams' defense fund, and the "Millions More Movement". Neither of which I would support. I agree they need to do something to salvage their image. They need to show they're a force to be reckoned with. This isn't the fight, to help rebuild their reputation.

    Have you considered joining? We need all the bright minds we can get. That's the problem. We as Blacks are divided.

  2. I don't approve of most of the positions they take these days. I would be hypocritical to join something I don't agree with. In my personal opinion. We need to come together for a worthwhile cause.
