- The NAACP is not a single race entity that is how!!! There is no race
- test that has to be passed for memeberships. George Bush and Bill Clinton are
- two white people that I can name that are members. If any white people want to
- join the NAACP they are more then welcome. In fact on a lot of campuses, a
- lot of white people decide to join these organizations.
- The United Negro College Fund gives money directly to the institutions. The
- institutions are historically black colleges and universities. The schools,
- again, do not have a race test. Anyone can attend Howard, Morgan and other
- predominately black institutions if they so please. The money people give to
- the UNCF goes straight into the school scholarship funds, which are not
- doled out in a race specific way.

- So, whoever the writer of the above passage is, he is wrong. these organiz-
- ations are not racist, be it good or bad, anyone can join them and many non-
- black people chose to do so. Please get your facts straight before you go and
- call something racist which isnt't.
