I am a financial active member of the NAACP but, everything Rev. Peterson said is true. One one hand, the NAACP has issues that they need to deal with as far as reaching out and representing ALL black communities. Also, I have seen some strange behavior by a few of the most prominent members. One the other hand, I do agree with the Professor and a few other people on this board. Most people who work for the NAACP are not paid and they do work very hard.

Happy4Eva mentioned that the organization needs help more than it needs criticism. I agree, I hate it when black people run their mouth about something they don't like but, refuse to march, answer phone calls, protest, or teach anti-voilence campaigns to young people. Of course, until it is too late. Or, will refuse to pay the little bit of money to support the NAACP so that the organization can take on more lawsuits.

The whole point that I'm trying to make is that the NAACP should not and does not have to be discountinued or laughed at. However, there are a few people, things, and, ideas that need to be changed. The NAACP could always use a few good men, women, and dollars.
