The NAAWP is a toy of an organization, and rarely even gets mentioned
any longer This is the first mention of it I've seen in years. The ONLY
reason it ever got any negative press was because of the background of
David Duke, himself. As for any other organization that "promotes the
advancement of white people," there are those who would, not without
reason, contend that most of the establishmend does that already.

Over the years, how many black Miss America's have there been? I can
think of only two or three.

Of course, that's not counting the "separate but equal" 'Black Miss
America' pageant that used to be held (if it's not still being held).

Tell me honestly. Do you think there's really a NEED for an organization
to promote the white race? Can you point to a time when whites were
routinely consigned to the back of the bus, to a separate area of town,
to separate water fountains, or actually held out of any opportunity at
an education? I didn't think so.
