As a sidenote, I wonder how many people are aware that NAACP was founded by white people? lol.
It does get grants and loans.

I'm blind. Explain it to me.
Of course their agenda was race-based you loon! They were fighting for civil rights FOR the race whose civil rights were being denied.

Think before you type. Why mention the group whose cause you're fighting for? Using your logic, the CRM was racist b/c they were their "agenda" was race-based. Does that make any sense?

Again, using your logic, they are all still discriminatory organizations. It's absurd to say that an organization identifying its target group is ONLY discriminatory when it refers to Blacks.

Stopping the cycle, by education and friendships. Not by placing them on a platter, making them unequal to everyone else.
You're the last person to talk about ignorant & stupid when your basis for claiming racism is identifying the group you're trying to help. That kind of lazy thinking is the epitome of anti-intellectualism. It shows a complete lack of understanding of what racism is, what discrimination is, and history itself.

It really is sad to see how people really think on the internet where no one can see them.

The NAACP was founded to gain Civil Rights. That is racist. Wow.

For those that haven't stepped outside their small country town, minorities all over the world form their own leagues as they are the minority. Many times it is to gain equal rights. That is not racist.

Forget skin color for a minute, blacks are all from the same region of the world, just lile the Polish, Chinese, Canadians, or Mexicans. They are AFRICAN Americans.

Don't be lazy, do some research by typing in "Who funds the NAACP", like I did.
In other words, you don't have ANY proof for your BS claims.

I believe anything based on race or sex is collectivism. I took the OP meant in using the term racist as in an evil way.
I'd like to see a black man as president and I dont want to see a black man as president are both racist but one is fueled by hate.

Lmao, only because YOU LIED, NAACP is not funded by the federal government and now you're squirming around because you cannot back up your lie with even bogus citations.

Sorta make me wonder what else you throw out there as "FACT" that is just BS floating around in your hate filled mind.
