servant, did you bother to read this very good story that galileosmith linked, from a black publication?

This is an embarrassing and dangerous misstep by NAACP leadership, making black people in general look like fools. It is an affront to the likes of the legendary W.E.B. Du Bois, who co-founded this organization 101 years ago. And it makes it harder to be taken seriously when something really happens.

Someone tell me....why after 300 years of being oppressed and denigrated by whites....should black people trust the motives of white people? Would you trust your daugther around someone who had a history of child molestation? Would you be irrational for running to get your child if you saw somthing that evel looked remotely like such a person approaching your child? The person may have totally changed...however...you don't know that....you cannot read minds. Yet.....with a 300 year history of blacks being denigrated and oppressed by whites.....blacks are supposedly stupid and irrational for thinking that whites could possible do something like this.....PLEASE. You all obviously know little about human nature.
You are what I thought all along, a black militant, I knew it!

Each day , people who didn't care before , are purposely keeping their distance from black people .
If you have to be afraid you might say " black hole " when talking about astronomy to children in front of black people , why talk to black people at all ?

No one is forcing you to talk to black people, and since you think all black people think and act the same, than it is probably best you don't

I see. Hallmark is carrying on a secret conspiracy to warp young black minds by creating greeting cards with astronomy themes. Gotcha!

Now I trust you will apply these same standards to the Hip Hop industry which utters Black Hos all the time and makes no bones about it.

You and the NAACP are barking mad.

It only hurts good black people, if the individuals think all black people are the same. If someone knows that people are individuals and that an entire race of people don't think the same, they wouldnt hold the actions of some against the rest.
