NAAAA--much better than NAACP, right?  Well, since we have other associations, I think that it's only fair if we have an NAAAA.  Our beliefs are much less extreme than that of the RW NAACP, so if you are afraid of joining for fear of being an extremist (NRA-style in the RW), don't be; we are not extreme and we aren't just a tool for the left.
I don't feel right appointing myself the chair of this fine organization, mostly because I am not an African-American!  But I will accept the vice chair position.  So if anyone wishes to join, or if there is a person out in Atlasia that is an African-American and would like to take the position of the president, we hope to focus on issues concerning the African race, such as racial profiling, hate crimes, poverty, affirmative action, and welfare.
NAAAA founder,
Ian, the Kentuckish-Arkansan

Thank you so much TCash!  You don't happen to be an African-American by any chance, do you?

Haha!
Because of the lack of African-Americans on the forums?
Thank you, Josh.

Well, thats one reason.  Why would you start an interest group for a group that doesn't even exist here?  Not to mention that skin color isn't exactly an issue on the forum, you know.

Why does this matter? Here, we're identified by not the color of our skins, but the color of our avatars Tongue.

A southerner once told me that the NAACP was awful because they had a key to the bed chamber of every white virgin girl in Dixie.  I realized then and there that this was an organization I had to be a part of.

Sign me up.

I guess that since this has been up for a while, and no one has nominated themselves to the position of chairman, I will appoint myself.  Thank you to Preston and John for joining the organization.

Are there actually any African-Americans on the forum?  I know KentonNgo is, but he's not very active at all.

I know of at least one active one, though he's not technically an African-American if my memory serves, though he is black, though I'm not sure that I should name him.

There's obviously good ol' Duck Sauce Defarge:

Storebought. DemRepDan. One Conservative Republican and one guy who isn't active anymore. Maybe the NAAAA could have getting more Blacks onto the Forum as its stated objective. In which case I'd join.

That would be an excellent idea, but the difficulty is how to do it.  If you could work that part out, then maybe we could also have another group that tries to get more girls on the forum.

Which is which?  Well, obviously, the NAAAA wants to raise up the African-American to equal the levels of everyone else on the forum.  By increasing the population of African-Americans on the forum, the NAAAA would have a better chance to stand up and be heard.  So, an objective is definitely to see more African-Americans on the forum.  But how exactly would we go about doing this?

Yes, we should start a NAAOA (National Association for the Advancement of Other Avatars)
