I was very disappointed that K’Jon did not get the reconigtion that he deserved for his CD that your grandmother could listen to. It puzzles me that an organzation such as yourselfs does not uplift or expose music from a brother that not only respects the sistas, but make the brothers aware that good music can still have great sounds,beats and inspiring lyrics for our youth, we need more music like that to help uplift the advancement for our people.

Once again, the NAACP has disgraced itself. How could you honor such a racist piece of work like PRECIOUS? And you wonder why black people feel you’ve become irrelevant.
I suspect someone at the organization will, sooner or later, wish to retroactively honor BIRTH OF A NATION.
If we don’t respect ourselves, how will others respcet us? Maybe the NAACP has now past its usefullness. W.E.B.Dubois must be spinning in his grave.

Why do you do this? The NAACP Image Awards? It’s virtually the same people every year - celebrity Black People! There are people out there everyday making more of a “direct” difference for Black people than these people do! More than these people ever will! Why don’t you celebrate them. A glamor filled night full of already known and rich Black people prove nothing especially when most of these name-dirived “African Americans” do nothing for the very people they who mistakenly admire them! Most of the so-called Black people that attend this percieved gala don’t regularly hang around other Black people! It’s a shameful disgrace and disrespect of all the Black people both alive and dead that sacrificed even their lives so that we, as Black people, could appear just as meaningless to most Black people as White people do! If Dr. King was alive he probably would not attend such an event. And just so you’ll know - I’m Black as well.

I hear what the above comments are saying and meaning…but you must admit there were some great acting going on in PRECIOUS. As sad as it is we have bad as well as good in our communities and we must look at everything…in order to heal completely.

Read how the NAACP program helped to transform a prison and averted a potential blowup from happening.

You ever notice that if you leave a comment that does not line up with the liberal ideas that dominate the NAACP that is is quickly taken down? Lets see how long this comment stays up.

I don’t think the image awards are irrelevant. Precious may not be the best movie ever made but the acting in it was good and they deserve to be recognized for it. We still need a show like the image awards because I found this when I looked up Monique on google
“I’m on the air to a thirty-station radio network, sitting on the aisle, and calling a very exciting inning. Hits and double steals and rundowns. Forget that I can’t see them because the six Mo’Niques in front of me stand up,”
That was on this site http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2010/03/join-me-on-mlbn-for-dodger-baseball.html
The guy actually broadcast games for the DODGERS and he feels free to say stuff like that on his dumb blog. I’d rather see the image awards pop up on google then “the six Mo’Niques in front of me stand up,”

What a joke. The same very rich limo driven liberals every year. You want to give a image award to someone? Find a black successful businessman or woman, profile a black chemist. But nooooo, we got to see a bunch of self centered butt-heads. No wonder all most all the black folks I know with half a brain take the NAACP as serious as a fart in church.

So how would everyone feel if there was a white image awards?
