"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavor to advance justice for African Americans." --Wikipedia
Haven't they heard that the term "colored people" is considered racist?
The Washington Redskins had to change their name. So have Uncle Ben's (rice), Aunt Jemima (pancake syrup), the Atlanta Braves (sports team), The Dixie Chicks (musical group), the Cleveland Indians (sports team), Jeep Cherokee (automobile) and Eskimo Pie (ice cream bar), to cite but a fraction. Yet the very organization that is intent on hunting down these "offensive" names of products, people and corporations still keeps their own, which is worse than any of the others.
