At this year's NAACP convention, the nation's oldest civil rights forum, there is an energy not felt in decades. And there's no mistaking why. "It's very promising to see someone like Barack Obama doing very well," said Jeanetta Williams, president of the organization's Salt Lake City chapter.

    It is about time someone from NAACP is in the White House rather than some red neck from NRA or a crook from the oil industry or a slick with a zipper problem.

      When did Obama join the NAACP?...or are you just assuming that because he's black and you're a stereo-typing racist?

    sadly he has been bought off by AIPAC & the Bilderbergs. He has received his instructions and will follow them. We know what happens to leaders who want to change America. They die like the Kennedies, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X

      Yeah, learn another language. Perhaps they could start with English.

      I am struck from the quotes from NAACP leaders. Time and again they are spoken from the weak or outside position. This fundamental problem with their argument is the supposition that these questions have not been asked before, or that these problems have not been studied before. They have.

      Perhaps a rhetorical question for the NAACP is whether they believe that the improvements they want could have been enacted by now if they had seen themselves, and acted, as if they were part of the whole American community.

      Unfortunately, it's rhetorical becuase it is apparent that the NAACP cherishes its outside position, and uses it to maintain power and wealth. If the problems went away, so would the NAACP.

        Big - I agree with you, and this is the question that should be posed to the NAACP. However i am always weary to blame one segment of our society for the state of the black people. I have said this before, if a honest white person were to stand up he/she would say the white segment of this society has done it's part in facilitating the black problem not just here but globally.

            The "CP" doesn't stand for "correct, politically"?
