Thaddues Matthews
Although I do disagree in the tactics of Thaddues in some cases, I wonder what really happened to the NAACP. The NAACP has helped the community in the past but it does seem that they run from very serious issues. In the city of West Memphis, Arkansas discrimination has been a problem for many years. My brother went to the NAACP to file a complaint against the West Memphis, Arkansas police department. Yes, as you could have guest it my brother was harassed by the police. The NAACP in Memphis told him that they do not commit to those kind of cases or incidents. My brother does not get in any type of law trouble. He works in the Army Reserve and he is a Gulf War Veteran. The police pulled him over and claimed that he was trying to flee from the police. Even with witnesses he still lost the case. They roughed him up in the process. The NAACP did not want to get involved. It seems that if it does not have anything to do with a death or money issues, the problem of discrimination does not exist in the United States. Please do not take this the wrong way. The NAACP does help certain people in different ways but a change is in order. It is strange that if a person says discriminating things the NAACP will fight till the end to get that person fired but if that person do the actions of discriminating the NAACP run from the issue at hand. I AM NOT AGAINST THE NAACP BUT THIER PIORITES NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN A BETTER MANNER.
