But there are MANY Af Am. that do not feel that have that same list of priorities, yours truly included. I use to be a member of the NAACP until recently. They have become involved in issues that go against the core of who I am, not to mention I feel like they are taking up causes that in the grand scheme of things are not important to the Af. Am in general.
Yes, they did a lot to give us the rights that we enjoy today, however that does not mean that I will just blindly follow you based on what you DID - and just completely ignore what you are doing today. Plus, the NAACP is not the ONLY organization that is working globably to help the Af Am community. There are plenty of other options available.
