North Carolina NAACP demonstrates the weakness of African-American "Leadership"

Reverend Barber is rallying the NC NAACP for battle against the Wake County School board, against community schools and against any sliver of credibility the organization may have had left.

This knee-jerk response from African-American leadership poisons rational discussion at the expense of the objective I assume we all share; quality public education for all students.

Where as the NC NAACP been for the past 2 decades in Wake County advocating for or improving the lot for African-American and minority school kids?

It's either been absent or horrendously ineffective.

In either case why now should we heed any word written or word spoken from it when it comes to public education in Wake County?

Oh yeah, you might sue or assemble a group of followers who couldn't even explain Wake County's diversity policy or outline the current dismal performance of African-American and minority students.

NC NAACP would rather go to war to stroke their egos than look at hard data and face its own sickening belief that poor black kids don't have the capacity to learn together.

This is not 1954.

Why would we be content with our low-income and minority students failing and wasting away in integrated schools just to say we have integrated schools? Or just because an asleep at the wheel NC NAACP says it should continue to be that way?
