Time For Change?
Lately there has been a call to change the name of the NAACP which stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In my opinion, there needs to be action because if a white person ever came up to a black person and called him colored, the black person would be ready to fight. This is 2007 and that word needs to be done away with reference to race just like the word nigger. No one disagrees that even black people shouldn't refer to each other as nigga so why should one of our most prestigious organizations have the word colored in the title. Why the old school people want to keep the name the way it is I don't know. If they are so much about tradition, then why don't they bring back race titles for bathrooms and drinking fountains. This word is probably confusing the young generations who were taught to take offense to the word but see this prominent organization representing it proudly. To the old school, just change the one word and see that it won't be that big a deal.
