The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the 109 year old civil rights organization, will not renew the contract of its president, Cornell Brooks, and will "recast" its mission by conducting "a systemwide and strategic revisioning process that will ensure that the NAACP can address these 21st century challenges."
Reading between the lines isn't difficult; the NAACP will become more like Black Lives Matter and less like a mainstream organization dedicated to advancing the economic interests of blacks.
Reuters: Russell said the process might take a year, during which the group's board would gather comment from members nationwide about the NAACP's future course.
The NAACP has been a leader of U.S. civil rights since its founding in 1909. Its pre-eminence has been challenged by the Black Lives Matter movement that sprang up to protest police shootings of African Americans in recent years and by mass protests against President Donald Trump.
Johnson said the group wanted to strengthen local and state activism and education and develop local leadership.
...Any "revisioning" of the NAACP will be led by radicals who don't care as much about improving the lives of black people as they do pushing their hysterically exaggerated notions of "justice" and "police brutality." The NAACP tried to work through the courts and the Justice Department to hold police accountable. BLM wants to take to the streets to threaten violence to get what they want. This is not a subtle shift but a radical departure for an organization that, for more than 100 years, has fought for civil rights within the mainstream of American politics.

To NAACP:
That Rachel Dolezal is still available......
Still in business to extort money from guilt-ridden Whites. It’s all about putting all the blame on Whitey, so as to avoid making its members face the FACT that their pathologies are self-inflicted.
Yup.
BLM got over $100 million in donations last year, $23 million from Soros alone.
That will pay a lot of high dollar, over-priced admin salaries, eh?
Soros needs to stroke out. Now. And his ‘minion’ sons need to be locked up.
How can one person do so much damage to so many others? WHY hasn’t this guy been given to Russia or Hungary? Isn’t he wanted on both countries? It’s not like this isn’t common knowledge!
He is Pure Evil.

“...and will ‘recast’ its mission”
Well, if they are going to make changes, change that “Colored People” name of theirs.
Put it on the scrap heap of history along with the United Negro College Fund.
If old statues are going to be torn down, tear down ALL of the offenses of the past.
This congress must move to make our laws UN-breakable or real consequences will be netted out. BLM is a terrorist group who follow Social Justice, i.e., they don't think they have to follow law, they preach and act out their right to destroying private property and other violence.....that should have been nipped in the bud when it started with the New Black Panther Party, insurrectionists who were then and who are now outside the U.S.Constitution and those laws
Political Correctness got those seditionists where they are today, that and a racist president for eight years.
Where are the brave Americans whom were elected to obey and protect our Constitution from small city governments to the Oval Office....no Radical Organizations like CAIR, NAACP, of the George Soros funding law breaking radical organizations should be allowed...they are in place for one thing...to overthrow the U.S.Government.
Thanks Obama
I don’t know how it started, but it has long since left the path of reason.
Perhaps in it’s beginning it was reasoned.
Very unfortunate.
Not surprising—everything on the left is getting more extreme, more vicious, more violent all the time.
Of course they will embrace Black Lives Matter, it is made up of 90% cute, young liberal girls who have been saying yes to every tome dick and harry since they were 12.
What happened to Ben Jealous? Was he too “white,” and they were jealous of him?

Colored Lives Matter?
Every person and group chooses a new or adjusted direction from time to time. Not all choose wisely.
I agree with your take on it.
Further, I believe it was a crutch for reverse racism more often than not.
It was alcohol an “excuse generating machine”, that almost always displaced responsibility.
Those who ran it should hang their heads in shame.
Think how much more Black community progress could have been realized over the last thirty years, if personal responsibility had been preached, and complete absolution had not been given for contemptible behaviors.
Correction:
It was also an “excuse generating machine”, that almost always displaced responsibility
The NAACP sinking even further into the dark abyss.
Very sad.
