Looking backward is going backward
The NAACP needs to re-evaluate its purpose. The origin was the advancement of colored people. One of the A’s stands for advancement.
Advancement would be showing a concern for the youth of the black culture and then going into the high schools to encourage education rather then dropping out. I would be going into the projects and working with the youth to prevent gang participation.
Going around the country because the people who lived 150 years ago who fought in a war over slavery really don’t help anyone in the present. Advancement means living in the present and moving forward. Stirring up racism over what happened 150 years ago is not benefiting their culture.
The black culture would benefit far more if the NAACP and Black Lives Matter would focus on the youth in the culture who are its future. Dwelling on the past is not moving the culture forward.
