I may agree with you that there are other issues that the NAACP can pursue. However, isn't that the argument that is always used when we want the organization to forgive, forget, and move on? I suggest the issue at hand demonstrates that racism still exists even while there is a Black man that serves as president of our great country. This country has yet realize Bro. King's dream that suggests that we treat each other by the content of character and not by the color of our skin.

Are these protests hitting Murdoch where it hurts? Maybe not.
Are there much more pressing matters that are being put on the backburner so that some black people can be sidetracked by almost every potentially offensive thing that comes along? I think so.
