Wrong. the naacp was created to allow blacks the right to vote and other laws that in that ime people were against that type of thing. Merits right. Back in the day when racist ran the country and laws were passed to exclude black people from achieving the "american dream" do you actually think in that era that a black person would have gotten a job over a white person. Or where a white man could kill a black man for supposedly looking at a white woman and get away with it. When white people would bring their children to watch lynchings, When a black person was not considered a person.
Come on Radio leave the naacp is not a racst organization. Now times have changed and evenmyself do not believe in affirmative action because it doesnt work. I have been on corporate jobs in which a person makes a racist comment and they all laugh. BUt being the only balck person there I was told that I need to have tougher skin. With that being said do you expect me to believe that I will always have a chance because of merit in this day and thats where the NAACP comes in. To try to ensure that there is fairness for black people because I know you cant deny that back peole were nat given a chance to make it in the U.S.
Back them giving a black man a job on merit meant that they could share crop and have the landowner keep the money by keeping them in debt or they could be a servant. That was a great job to get on merit. I am sure that you have not gotten all your jobs because of merit because we all know "its not what you know its who you know". Thats part of the purpose of the bar I hope. to make contacts for work and make money. I suppose MLK was a racist also for fighting non violently for the rights of black people.
