Rev. Michael Latham and Glass Houses

I wrote about the Wal-Mart boycott being a fake, not real or whatever. And I suggested that Rev. Latham's position in the NAACP might be challenged. So it was nice to read that Rev. Michael Latham confirmed my statement and yes indeed there are some men wanting that position of influence. Nice articles to read in the Journal-Gazette and now the Frost.

Some state this is airing dirty laundry, when in fact it's revealing the game played by self-appointed African-Americans among themselves. Who among us is more favorable among the raced white man to represent the African-Americans community? The answer the sleekest one in not getting caught trying to pull the wool over uninformed African-Americans eyes with a wink and a smile.

Should it be that way? Of course not, because African-Americans have diverse opinions about how things should be handled. But, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, unless challenged and that is why I suggested that someone with legal knowledge should sit in the NAACP seat.

Now, I know there are a few good women who could beat these men hands down. I would love to give their names, but they have a few days to become members before the NAACP election.
