NAACP still trying to push race-based agenda

In this article in the P-I, the NAACP has a new ally in their race-based agenda for higher education, the American Jewish Congress.

Unfortunately for the NAACP and the American Jewish Congress, I-200 (which bans the use of race in education or public hiring) stands in their way, and politicians are reluctant to do anything to weaken that (probably for fear they'd get voted out of office more than anything else).

One bill has already 'died' in the House, and a similar bill in the Senate - SB 5575 - sponsered by Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle faces an uphill battle for 'survival', although it has passed out of commitee.

While I am for everyone having the opportunity for a higher education, I am against basing entry to that higher education on the color of your 'exterior packaging', or where you're from. My question to the NAACP is - what does the color of your skin, or where you are from, have to do with your ability to think and reason? The answer, which neither organization will tell you, is - nothing. Not a thing.

If that is the case (and I really believe it to be so), why does the NAACP, and other groups, continue to push for this raced-based agenda?
