I wish they would be a more inclusive organization and fight for the rights of whites being discriminated against as well as blacks. We talk about an equal and fair society. MLK taught that it takes two to fight. So what are WE doing to tie the racial bonds in America? Are we helping the cause or further dividing ourselves? Michael jackson has a song that goes "I'm starting with the man in the mirrior? Tooo many people are ready to place fault on "that guy" and fail to look at themselves.

Equality is equality, but let the record show that whites as the population and power majority have plenty of organizations that formally and informally fight for their rights (even under the guise of "American rights," "employee's rights," and any other mainstreamed/generalized entity---since many people still consider whites to be a race-neutral group). That's one of the founding points of organizations that represent minorities on the bases of race, social class, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

Either way, the mission statement, vision statement, and purpose are very inclusive: http://www.naacp.org/about/mission/index.htm

General statement that isn't based on assumptions regarding anyone in this thread's level of contributing:
If people feel the NAACP isn't fulfilling its inclusivity or anything else, they should contribute locally and/or nationally. As with our GLOs, very little gets accomplished from the outside looking in and every org is only as strong as its membership.
