[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i.e. NOT false narrative ^^^[/quote]

Did he vote when he wasn't allowed to?  Did he force community members to vote a certain way?  Did he force all the people who spoke about potential names to go to the podium and advocate.  False narrative that they can decide the name.  No they can't.  Only community members can.  He can take all the credit he wants to, but he CANNOT decide the name.  You're mad that community members might agree with something the NAACP supports?  You're mad that many of those community members are White?  You're mad that names of historical blacks figures garnered a significant amount of votes despite black students only comprising 11 percent of the student population at Stuart?  News flash, many community members can look beyond their own race and pick someone like Justice Marshall, who happened to be a very accomplished member of this community.  The two parents handing out fliers supporting Johns at back to school night at Glasgow were White community members.  Again, stop being blinded by your hatred for the NAACP.[/quote]

I don't hate the NAACP--I'm not the anti-NAACP poster--but to those who said that the NAACP did not push for this, they are mistaken.

It was organized by the NAACP.  The NAACP was there to nominate names.  The NAACP was involved from the very beginning.  Sandy Evans communicated with the NAACP from the very beginning.  This was not a student led protest.[/quote]
