People say the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) today isn't relevant anymore but I beg to differ.
The NAACP has had many initiatives in the past and in the future years about racial discrimination against all people for example: the Stop Campaign, the Vote Now Campaign and many others.
The NAACP is here for all people, we have been trying to get civil rights for all since 1909 and 1938 for the Youth and College Division. The NAACP is devoted to engaging all people of all races, ethnicities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, and as most people know the NAACP is a non-partisan organization.
If you would like to know more go to www.NAACP.org to find out more and read the mission statement and join. Do you think the NAACP is relevent today why or why not?
This blog is here to discuss modern day issues like Politics, Religion, Economics, World Culture and anything else between the generations of the new millenium and the old .

Spirituality:Differences of the Today Generation and the Back in the Day Generation
Back in the day in the black churches across America the black church was filled with people of all ages. As the years have gone by the Hallelujah kids have grown up and have had kids of their own but they forgot to instill one main thing in their kids is and that is a love for God. Whatever your religious belief or spiritual belief the adults of the modern world forgot to install in their children when they were young is a LOVE for GOD. It doesnt matter what they believe in as long as they have a love of God.
Now what I have done is called out you adults and now I want your opinion on how you think you did when you instilled the love of God in us?
