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.

Sounds like a winning plan! /s
Seriously, though, Altura Ct., you are right. This is really not good for the future of the country.
Thanks again, Obama. So many white people voted for you, hoping to heal racial divisions. What we got, thanks to you, was exponentially worse.
So stop having fighter jets accompany you on yet another vacation at who knows what expense. You really don't deserve it.
I really can’t seem to get the hang of this new laptop. My tagline should read: “Trump: I will bear ...”, not “Soul will bear.”
And I probably just made another typo by putting my palms down on the keyboard.... *sigh*
Sorry! :)
LOL! Gotta love auto-correct. ;)
A Jewish group started it.
Yes.
You know, it saves my posterior at times as well, but I do love to complain. I took a pass this time, but take my word for it.
LOL
In the time frame it was started, it’s easy to imagine it being altruistic. Now, was it?
Look at the ACLU, a sure fire deceitful intent from the get go.
Well, that is the end of that.
With NAACP gone BLM, there is no moderate Black organizatin left worth talking to.
that hand and arm should be brown
I can only work with the images I can find online :)
Younger blacks know more than older ones that they will never integrate/assimilate. Older blacks are more likely to have job skills, a work ethic, and English literacy - all severely lacking in too many younger ones. Interestingly, I suspect many young whites are facing the same issues - and that is why some young whites are into the permanent temper tantrum/aggrieved status.
The NAACP was so obviously a Dem front group, and there was nothing moderate about them.
The only surprise here was that the NAACP wasn’t all in favor of BlackLivesMatter from the get-go. I was under the impression that the NAACP abandoned polite, suit and tie clad talk of “equal rights” in favor of open radical hatred towards whites long ago. BlackLivesMatter is just the NAACP updated for millenials.
