Re: The Multiracial Activist Newsletter

Please remove me from your list!!! To call the NAACP anti-multiracialist is obsurd!! To put an organization with a mostly noble history in the same basic as organizations which are truly racist is destructive. People and organizations may have differing views. This does not mean that they are opposed to one another. I'm am a multiracial person who sees the NAACP as basically a good organization and certainly an organization which has made tremendous strides in the past for not only Blacks in this country but for all people. 
 
You would do a better job of not alienating persons such as myself (I'm also an activist who is working with many groups at getting my voice heard) if you focus on our similarities which are our strengths, rather than our differences. 
 
Editorial Retort: Get a grip. The NAACP is hostile towards multiracial identity and interracial marriages. Just ask former NAACP Washington Bureau Director, Harold McDougall. You have apparently had your head in the sand during the last two years of hearings regarding multiracial identity. McDougall has repeatedly attacked your very existence and compared the circumstances that lead to your birth to slave rape. The NAACP is currently engaging in a divisive and disgusting campaign to shut up anyone who doesn't submit to their doctrine. To say that I could do a better job of not alienating other activists by focusing on our similiarities instead of our differences is incoherent. The very people you seem to think of as allies are the most vocal and visible group in the campaign against us. You would do better to pay attention to the present instead of living in the past. There is a world of difference between Kweisi Mfume and Thurgood Marshall.
