21. There's a distinct lack of awareness here
about Black issues because of under-representation at DU. Thank you for saying that clearly.

I too have tremendous respect for Kweisi Mfume but the NAACP as a whole comes across like a traffic cop on valium these days. Where were they for Cynthia McKinney? Where were they for Baraka? And as you pointed out- where are they NOW? Where is their outrage when Bush says African slaves came to America in search for freedom?

Someone needs to get more caffeine into whatever diluted coffee they're drinking over there!
