It depends. If she's peach for the same reason my wife called me peach (a fuzzy butt), no that's not hot for a woman. LOL

You are arguing that there are no colors to describe human skin tones, but merely shades of one? But I really like that the description of skin is usually a colorful food or flavor. Cappuccino, milk chocolate, cinnamon, uncooked chicken, chalk.

NAACP: Colored People Includes White Man

Then what's the point of the organization if everybody is a member?

Change the name then: National Association for the Advancement of Everybody (NAAE).

Or maybe with them lizard guys coming down, it should be the National Association for the Advancement of Humans (NAAH).

Or the National Association for the Preparation of Long Pig (NAPLP).

Is anyone even mildly surprised that the head of the NAACP chose a prison to talk to his "constituents"?
It's as if they want people to point and laugh.

Ben Jealous is doing something the GOP has a hard time even entertaining and thats seeing his current constituency is constraining he is widening the tent.

Seems logical.

If he can enlist the hispanics and others the organizaiton could become a powerhouse.

I want to establish the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF NERDS (NAAN)

We demand that all cute women wear skimpy armored bikinis, or classic Star Trek female uniforms.

However, we do support female empowerment. We also want all the cute girls to carry swords and/or large guns, or at the very least be triple blackbelts.

When we define ourselves as members of a group that
is based on our ethnicities, we are operating at an
optimum level of diversity.

Poo on individualism - diversity rocks!

Be Well.

Whites have always been involved with the NAACP; helped found it, for that matter.

How come we can't call THEM "colored people" anymore even though the NAACP still has it in their title?

Because they don't like it; from colored to negro to black to african american to ?-- maybe I have the progression mixed up--- can't keep up with the changes.

#23--- "diversity rocks"---Skip, does this mean one of your rocks is different from the other one?

OK seeing as I am Sicilian and have Moore blood in my veins, can I join the NAACP?

I bet you could, but you'd probably have to show your papers.

I wonder if they'd let Ward Connerly in--- he is 1/4 black and 1/2 white with the rest a mix of Irish, French and Choctaw indian.

It took until 2009 for this article to appear, and Marcus Garvey (one of my heros) was saying it all along: the NAACP is not a Black organization. Booker Washington, another of my most admired Americans, was more diplomatic than Garvey but NAACP was against him, too.
NAACP is a corporate plantation.

Correction: NAACP is a non-profit corporate plantation.
