Even the business of accomplishing nothing sometimes needs to be streamlined.

[no dems]

Why don't they join forces and combine memberships with the NAAWP (National Association for the Advancement of White People)?

[MrEdd]

Margaret Sanger has won. There aren't as many left to fill up the membership. Planned Parenthood Vs. NAACP - we have a winner.

[relictele]

Our impression is we can improve and enhance the way we do things

Oh yes - all those pointless rallies and rent-a-mobs are just begging for an efficiency expert.

How will the faithful flock know for whom to vote?

[Red Badger]

Hard to convince people of color “to overcome” when so many people of color have already “overcame”............

[twonie]

Is this collapsing of its own weight? Looks like it.

[twonie]

Could it be that the upcoming generation of colored people are not in the least interested in the advancement of anyhing or anyone? Content to deal drugs and play basketball?

[Darnright]

>Could it be that the NAACP and other groups were so successful in the ‘60s that they no longer have a reason for being?<

I believe we have a winner.

Where is Jessie Jackson? He extorted zillions from fat cats to support NAACP, he must then put most of the dough in his own pocket. LOL

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

To get more members stop being the center of race-pimpdom, drop the slavish obedience to the democrat party, tell the constituency to learn to speak standard American English, tell them to return to the Christian values that they HAD 40 years ago and which the left helped them to lose!

How can that be? They already blow 38% of their donations on administration. Over 1% just for the CEO, putting them in the Top 10 for low-rated charities with highly-paid CEOs. Just over half actually goes to any charitable work.

The NAACP is one of the worst large charities in the country.

[RexBeach]

Remember, a donation is a terrible thing to waste.

Well, I must say, though, I am relived that the NAACP is “right-sizing,” whatever the heck that means.

[Bitsy]

Thank God this “dinosaur” appears headed for the tar-pits.
Now if only the ACLU, Code Pink, etc. would follow suit!

[JoeSixPack1]

HEY,, YooHooo 40% that got fired...

OVER HERE>>> Hire the ACLU to sue the NAACP!

[uglybiker]

What’s a brutha to do?..............

Skim off da top ta keep yo ex-secretary an' dat il'jidimit chile quiet.

[Badeye]

Anyone else notice the news has gotten much better as the week progressed?

[California Patriot]

This is great news.

[Badeye]

Yes it is. I’ll never forget the truck and chain ad they ran in 2000.

Nor will I even consider forgiving it.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of folks!

[CPT Clay]

Are we winning?
