But also, I have a big problem with the NAACP, the SCLC, and the Concerned Black Clergy. Besides the previous comments about them not being proactive but reactive, what are they about?

The ONLY time I see them on TV is when a white person does something bad to a black person. They will be the first ones all mad on TV. But, in our community we have a large number of young girls having multiple babies out of wedlock. I don't see the NAACP coming on TV getting mad about that. We have an outrageous number of black on black crime in the inner city. I don't see the NAACP getting on TV mad about that. And what about gangs and trying to stop these young boys from even getting into gangs? Again, haven't heard from the NAACP on that issue. BUT as soon as a white person says the N word or attacks a black person, there is the NAACP all up on the TV. If they truly cared about the black community they would be doing something to stop all the ills we have in our community. They may talk a good game but I haven't seen the action.

Plus, Black people are always preaching equality and diversity and acceptance so why do we still support an organization in the 21st century that has as its title the advancement of one particular race? Isn't that what our ancestors were fighting against discrimination and the singling out of one race yet we do it ourselves. I don't get that concept either. You cant fight civil rights in the 21st century with 1960's tactics.

Thank you for pointing that out. I really wish they could move with the times and be a more relevant & useful organization.
