WRAL.com has posted a fascinating interview with Rev. Dr. William Barber, featuring 10 tough questions from the public about the role and activities of the NC NAACP. The questions include:
*why the NAACP still calls itself an organization of "colored people"
*the continued relevance of the NAACP now that an African American has been elected President of the United States
*why the NC State students who scrawled hate speech on a campus wall must be strongly disciplined
*the NAACP's role in the Duke lacrosse case
*why aggressive public advocacy, not simply quiet, behind-the-scenes maneuvering and compromise, is an important role for the NAACP
*the many ways the NAACP is involved in community activities
*how the NAACP stands against violent, misogynistic, ugly gangster rap
*what the NAACP is doing about black-on-black crime
*the NAACP's campaign against use of the n-word by ANYBODY
*why historically black organizations continue.
The interview is very informative and well worth reading.
