It's the simple fact that this is an election year, and he's allocating his limited time to speak in places where he'll win the most votes. That in mind, you can see why he would ignore the NAACP's overtures. They are currently (is that fair?) a very partisan group and they're not changing sides of the aisle any time soon.
Let me ask you this: Had he spoken there, would you have voted differently?
