I don't think its fair to compare the two because one obviously represents hatred. There is no white counterpart to the NAACP. I don't agree with the NAACP anymore than I agree with the KKK or the naawp -- because I think that segregation is wrong on all parts, and its not fair to say "you can't have your own group but we can" and then promote it as equality. I do however agree with the laws of this great country which entitles everyone to their opinion.

AXO Alum,
Please go to the NAACP's & NAAWP's website and read it before you make judgements about the orgs based on what you have heard. The NAACP does not believe in segregation, nor will you find a "you can't have your own group but we can and then promote it as equality" type of mentality.
I truly believe (like I stated in a earlier post) that before we can offer solutions, everyone must have a clear, true understanding as too what's really going on - and not what you THINK is going on.
To everyone:
I believe that education for another's culture can foster appreciation for that culture. Education for the AA culture comes in more forms that just a MLK program during the month of February or having that one or two black friends that you knew from high school. It requires a person to "step out" and do something new. For example, (I'll use my culture) go next door and actually have a talk with your AA neighbors. Maybe read the Autobiography of Malcolm X. Go and attend the African AMerican Family Reunion in your local area. Small things like this is where education and maybe understanding can start.
