Barack Obama and the Future of the Civil Rights Movement

To: You wanna know my opinion

WOW! I am certain that the NAACP fought for the likes of him to come to this country and reap benefits of edcuation and freedom of speech. However, from his writing skills, I don't see that he excelled well enough; but he may have off the backs of blacks who still struggle with racial disparities from every sect, be it healthcare, education, employment. I say that the NAACP is still needed more so today than yesterday - to ward off these institutional disparities. I do not think the organization exist because of fears, but to eradicate fears and bring about change and justice for all from a global perspective. This cat who wrote in is ignorant of the facts from which this country was built, including his ancestors and especially those of ancestors of African-Americans. I admit the focus of te NAACP needs to be re-rooted in the efforts of building community and not separate from one another because of some of the "gains and accomplishments " achieved by African-Americans. We need to galvanize our communities and grasp hold of the old values that brought us out of despair, for "if it is to Be , it is up to me" that was the verbage once used by our people to eradicate many of the iniquities we faced in the past.

You wanna know my opinion?

Here it is in a nutshell... For all you predudiced people out there you are obsolete.. That song is old, we no longer make music from grapevines and seashells.. People are people there are hateful people and very nice people. Although sometimes I feel the hatefuls are winning :(.. But anyone black, yellow, white, red, green, blue or whatever color or culteral backgrouds.. The NAACP started off in a very good direction but is also tainted by predudiced implaments in speech and actions. So to make it short and sweet.. If you happen to be afraid of someone for the color of there skin or the persons culture... You are probably scared of the boogy-man and the dark. Get a life and stop taking advantage of people and feeding the predudice fire.. My feeling is that anyone who is predudice is scum...No matter the color.. And yeah maybe blacks where slaves for 300 years... My anstestors where slaves for 3000 years roughly.. So I think the naacp is now out of date get on with your lives stop trying to stay segregated get a real job and do something positive.. Because you (NAACP) did a hell of a good job!! But its time to retire like and old boxing champ.. Got anything to say to that? Dont get hostile, I only speak the truth in my eyes.
