    Even though the majority of the Civil Rights legislation has been on the books for at tleast a decade, that does not mean that it is written in the hearts of the people. Blatant discrimination is not as prevalent as it has been in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. But that does not mean that it has been eliminated. One does not have to travel to far to be reminded that race still makes a major difference in how a person is treated. The issue of racial profiling and police brutality to people of color is a constant reminder that we are not severed from our dark past. The quick answer to our question is that black people are still treated differently, on a regualr basis by sales clerks, cashiers, police officers, bank tellers, teachers, etc. It may be subtle but it is still observable to those who are not afraid to see.

    If a family can afford to take care of their children and provide the appropriate level of supervision for them, then the size of that family is no one else’s business!

    Membership in the NAACP is open to all persons. The segregation laws and practices of the past were primarily targeted at blacks, so those who benefitted the most (blacks), joined in large numbers.
