It is always disappointing to have lost trust or hope in a leader or organization that you once held at such a high standard. That is why it is so important for us who do realiza and understnad this situation to do something about it. We cannot forget the hundreds of people and organizations out there in the communities that are making a difference. As we put so much energy in criticizing the NAACP we need to be giving as much attention to the local organizations. THEY NEED OUR HELP. As college educated people we have alot of power in our hands. We can volunteer our time and help these organizations build better managerial strategies, web pages etc. We can go back to school and talk about what these groups do. We can give them an extra voice and attention.
I am not a memeber of the NAACP, but I would like to get involved with them. At the same time I plan to be more involved with my loca community. It seems that teh NAACP strategy is to work from the high end and hope that theri work will trickle down to those at the "bottom". It seems to be the way to accomplish goals these days. My idea is to work from all ends in hope of achieving out goals and objectives sooner. The bottom line is that it is going to take out individual drive to get us where we want to go. That is just my immediate opinion.
