Are you guys going to go after the arsonist that set the qt on fire? How about the family dollar or theautozone? Are they white owned businesses? You guys don’t give a fuck about anything worth the actual good fight.

The people that destroyed these businesses are not a representation of what we are trying to accomplish as an organization. In response to the riots, youth were gathered on our behalf and on the behalf of Michael Brown to clean up this debris from the arsony. What would you like to see us do next?

Hi NAACP Officials, I am in process of writing a book which will center largely around the NAACP and will incorporate this instant matter involving the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Now, I will, if I may, request you to read my newly published book entitled: “Come Out Of The Valley Of Adversity.” Go to Amazon.com and type the book title in the search bar. Please Respond. I would like to send a contribution to you during this sad time. My prayers are with the Brown Family. Thanks!

This book looks interesting. Would you like to send books for the young people to read?
