. . . but step forward, says black conservative Mychal Massie, chairman of the black conservative group Project 21. The NAACP, he says, should
“ . . . stop preaching the message of divisiveness that blacks have it so much worse than anybody else. That is simply not a productive message to encourage people to take advantage of the wealth of opportunity that is available for us.
It’s cutting off one’s black nose to spite one’s black face. It’s self-defeating.
“The NAACP should tell blacks that America is your home, America is what you make of it,” Massie added. Blacks must also be prepared to embrace the future “through two-parent households and education that puts more emphasis on math and science than on basketball and football.”
Now that, brothers and sisters, is a message.
