Here’s a question for you. Does the National Association for the Advancement of Color People still serve any real purpose?
Does color really matter any more when America’s first black president was white and its second black president is half white and the president of the NAACP is whiter than most white people and 50% of America’s white people apparently spend 50% their time in tanning salons trying to get darker?
Ben Jealous, President of the NAACP, is as white as – you’ll pardon the expression – a sheet. He looks like he should be President of the National Association for the Advancement of Sort of Vaguely Colored People. Get thee to a tanning salon and don’t worry about Obama’s new 10% tanning tax, Ben, because your pasty pallor and lack of melanin must be wreaking havoc with your street cred.
On one hand, it looks like Benjamin could use a little more time in a tanning salon. And these celebrities, on the other hand, look like they could use a little less. Because something just doesn’t compute when a bunch of white people are darker than the President of the NAACP.
