This Blog Posting Is Not Political Nor Is It Foolish Nor Is It Silly. It’s Just Plain Interesting.


If you are not interested in Interesting, Read No Further.

In the first week of January of 1909 the initial meeting of the fledgling National Association of Colored People (NAACP) took place in a tiny apartment in New York City.

Its organizers were a Mary White Ovington, William English Walling and Henry Moskovitz. At this meeting they agreed that on the coming Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday (February 12) they would circulate an open call for a conference about the “Negro Situation”, as it was called at that time.

They managed to get the resulting document signed by 60 prominent black and white activists.
***************
That’s it. That’s the end of the Interesting Information I wanted to Blog about.
***************
What’s that you said? You said that does not seem that interesting to you. Oops! I left out the interesting part…
Ø Mary White Ovington was not a Black Person.
Ø William English Walling was not a Black Person.
Ø Henry Moskovitz was not a Black Person.

This means that the 3 most prominent people who founded the NAACP Were Not Black People.

Now that is interesting!

Would I kid u?

Just like the leader of the Seattle branch of the NAACP
was not black, or that black/white guy from black lives matter was not black.We should all know by now that in American you can be anything you want to be, anytime you want to be it. Want to be be black? Bingo!, You're black....not happy being black? Just change back. Want to change sex? Bingo, Of course, none of this applies if you are of the wrong political beliefs, you are just....stuck.

Yes, it is very interesting. It is also very interesting to discover who, how, why, and when the country of Sierra Leone was established. You will find that it was established by some evil old white men that were trying to rescue and repatriate slaves taken off of slave ships. Imagine that!!!!!
