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.

Kim Kardashian hardly scary lookin..
Then again, Armenians have a lot of asiatic heritage
She is well within the boundaries of attractive.
LOL, yes she made the cut
Nicole Scherzinger ain't white. She's part Fillipino, so she's at least half Asian.

Seems like NAACP closely follows the one drop rule
wow katie price i wonder what happened to her...
yeah so ... the answer to the question about the NAACP being relevant is no... no they are not. They have done nothing for me and they will continue to do nothing for me because although black I am white (it seems according to them) in my philosophies in life... yet they will have someone heading them that at first glance is a white man... whatever!
Oh no KQ!! Are you saying you believe in taking care of yourself, without government interference or handouts? Are you saying that you believe the government should keep their hands out of you pockets, the money you earn should be used to help you instead of those to lazy to work? Dare I say it? Are you saying you occasionally listen to Rush Limbaugh and know how to think for yourself? What is wrong with you? You trying to be the next Condi Rice or what?
If you are, all I can say is go for it lady. I may be an old redneck from the southwest but I'll be damned before I will allow anyone to call me a racist. The only people I am prejudiced against are lazy, crybaby idiots that think the world owes them a living. And that includes most politicians.
Following in Ms. Rice's footsteps wouldn't be too shabby. I really see her in the White House again real soon, and I don't mean in the Cabinet.
Hey what I can say, I come from a different planet it seems. The Planet's name is Common Sense and I lived in the moon of Personal Responsibility. Black people from that Planet are hated up in here by the NAACP crowd, but it is all good I don't need them and they can kiss my luxurious black behind.
Ah, so you're a sellout then? What did they used to call that? House-negro vs. field negro?
What about Darth Vader ?
Are we having a little "swartz" envy by leaving Darth off the list ?
I think so.
Well... Darth Vader WAS white as a sheet...
The man that voiced the character is black but the actor himself is white... and even the young man who played Anakin was palish.
B. Jessica Simpson - Don't you mean ORANGER than Ben Jealous?
Poor Donatella Versace! She looks like beef jerky in a string bikini.
What I would like to know is who really cares? The NAACP, like the UAW, AFL-CIO, Affirmative Action, all "minority" programs that have done nothing to help anyone, have outlived their usefullness. The fat cats got richer, you fools that bought into their bullshit just stayed poor.
None of these "programs" have helped anyone anymore than unions have helped the American worker in the last 60 years. This puppet wears $1000.00 suits and the working man or woman in this country wears $10.00 shirts bought at WalMart? The same thing is true with unions. The bosses wear silk and Italian leather shoes, the workers that pay the dues wear T-shirts and "imitation" leather shit kickers. In the immortal words of Ron White: "You can't fix stupid". There ain't a pill, a rule, a law, nothing known to man, that can solve the problem.
I can't touch this one without being blisteringly sarcastic--oh, what the hell; Bobby Flay Iron Chef. Darker than Ben Jealous....well maybe not that blisteringly sarcastic.
