The NAACP is a joke.
---
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) has gone to the United Nations — specifically the U.N. Human Rights Council — for, in the words of USA Today, “help battling what the organization views as forces attempting to push back voting rights.”
Those “forces” are laws being passed by various states that require a photo ID for voting.
Snip
So, why is the NAACP going to the U.N.?
Because the wonderful fact of American life is that most American civil-liberties and civil-rights organizations have little reason for their continued existence. The NAACP, therefore, has to justify its existence. Which it does by manufacturing crises (and hopefully garnering media attention). Without major eruptions of racism, its raison d’être disappears — along with its funding.
That is the real reason something as utterly innocuous as requiring a person to show a photo in order to vote is taken to the United Nations. It gets attention, and makes supporters of the NAACP think their money is being used for the greatest electoral-rights battle in a hundred years.
