Although I can empathize with the NAACP re: sentiments regarding "poll tax", I am really getting leary of the role of the NAACP these days (some branches more than others). I could be wrong, but Bro.

Perhaps you should consider running for President of one of the NAACP branches. I think you could do a much better job!
