N-Double A-C-P What! What!

For everyone who knows me, the NAACP was basically the launching pad of my activism. Our centennial convention was definitely a fabulous one, despite all the drama and the fact that I had to work during the majority of it. However, I did get the opportunity to sit in on an awesome panel discussion with Jeff Johnson and meet/introduce the GREAT Dr. Cornel West.

I’m not going to write for too long, but I will drop some quotes from Dr. West’s speech. Thank you for reinspiring me and my activism to new heights.

“Too many folks strutting around like peacocks, OH LOOK AT ME, but peacocks only strut because they can’t fly”

“Straighen your back up because how can some one ride it if it’s not there”

“It’s a wonder that there is no Black Al-Queida, the world has something to learn from black folks”

“I love Lil Wayne, I love that little negro, I sure do” LOL

So much more said, but in the words of Dr. West, the NAACP was America’s first ANTI-TERRORISM organization, American Terrorism that was lynching and killing black folks all over the country.

Happy Birthday NAACP and thanks for all you’ve shown and done for me.

  Delightful, I passed this on to a friend of mine, and he actually bought me lunch because I found this for him, so let me rephrase: Thanks for lunch.
