Why doesn't the NAACP ever mention the word jobs or work? lessismore

because they want to keep their base's attention, its hard to talk to someone when they are walking away from you because you are telling them things they dont want to hear

Relic, unions are the reason we have a middle class in this country

Detroit would like a word with you. It took unions and liberals 50 years to kill that city

" I think I'll take the dems' failure over your conservative failure." goldenoshower Yah but your failures waste even more of peoples money and you just walk away saying "it's the thought that counts" while you go look for the next money pit

Well, Mr. McCrory can just shovel out another 8% to the poverty stricken just like he did his Republican cabinet members. Glad I didn't vote for Mr. McCrory. IPayYouPay

"Researchers compared 5,000 Head Start alums with their peers and were shocked to see that the program failed to make a difference" - mep

Actually you are misrepesenting the research study results. The research found that any educational advantage (i.e. head start) obtained by children enrolled in early education head start programs disappeared by 3rd grade. By third grade children who were in head start and children not in head start were at the same educational testing level, and head start had no impact on their educational development beyond third grade.

The only thing this organization is about is self promotion! How does a march promote jobs, wealth or health care? Look at the organization of the NAACP, Rev. Barbour isn't living in proverty, it made Jesse, Jesse Jr, Al Sharpton all make comfortable if not wealthy men! Sharpton $242,000 last year, Jesse Sr. $170,000 per yr. and a $120,000 Travel expense account. Now let's talk about self promotion!!
