The ACLU--good or bad?

[ladygreek]

I am interested in knowing what folx (read Black folx) think about the American Civil Liberties Union.

I will say up front that I work for the ACLU of Minnesota (www.aclu-mn.org) and as the external relations director I am constantly in the MN executive director's you-know-what about how we reach out to the African American community and the difference (I see) between civil liberties issues and civil rights issues.

So I would like to know what you all think about the ACLU in your state or the ACLU (www.aclu.org) in general.
