Partisan means many things. They of course would deny being associated with any political party. They are certainly, however, advocates for AA interests.

When I said partisan, I was referring to political party. "Officially" they are not affiliated with any party. In reality, they are are almost exclusively supporters of the Democrat party.

Most black interests affiliate with the Democratic Party, so are they partisan or merely reflecting the political sentiments of their constituency?

Also, I disagree fundamentally that the Democrat party has "most black interests" at heart. The black "community," such as it is, has been sorely deceived by the Democrat party, and their unflinchling loyalty has cost them national political influence. |

I was referring to their being an advocacy group. I don't think they're necessarily politically partisan at all. A smart and savvy republican candidate wouldn't claim they were.

Too late? Since when is it too late? We have elections every 2 years. Modern black leadership has yet to demonstrate that an outreach by Republicans would be met with more than ridicule, and the NAACP is part of that problem. |

You don't pretend to non-partisanship, do you?

No I don't. I try to be objective, but I make no beans about my ideological and political preferences.
