and I just don't see the NAACP today as relevant

Wow. With all that is going on in the black community right now I would say the NAACP is DEFINITELY relevent. Regardless of who the leadership is and what Julian Bond said, this organization has a lot to do and is needed. I think if you or anyone else has a problem or is dissatisfied with what the NAACP is following in terms of their priorities, then perhaps you and others should do something to make sure it uses it's power and influence to address issues that you feel the organization is most needed.
Its like my homeowner's association. If I am dissatisfied with what is going on in my complex, I can't say anything unless I am willing to do my part. I have to pay my dues, go to the meetings and make my voice heard, legitimately. I can't just sit around and complain. If you are not happy with the NAACP, then that is what you have to do because whatever progress this organization has made in the past, which has made most of the opportunities afforded to you and me possible today, and whatever progress it will make, you have and will benefit from as a black american woman.
