Organizations such as the NAACP are caught in a catch-22. They claim to be fighting for equality and unity but the title of the organization creates a distinction between the races.

The NAACP perpetuates this division of "races". was it really for the ages or did you just have a personal connection to it? Organizations such as the NAACP are caught in a catch-22.
