- The NAACP's motto is "Leading the Fight to End Racial Inequality." But a group of former leaders say they have been unfairly suspended, harassed, and defamed by the civil rights organization.
The group, which includes over 20 people from across the nation, has stories of unfair treatment and unexplained suspension of their leadership posts and membership.
We have six joining us tonight.
In the studio, Rochelle Bilal, Philadelphia NAACP Fmr. Secretary and Fmr Executive Board Member and Fmr. Youth Council Advisor, says she was suspended for sending out an out-of-date sponsorship form letter to raise money for youth.
LeRoy Candler, the past President of Fresno NAACP, says he was suspended for transferring funds from NAACP to his personal account. Which never happened and he had a letter from the bank manager proving his innocence.
On Skype, Lourie (Lou) Walker, the President of the Antelope Valley NAACP Branch, says she was suspended after filing an internal harassment complaint.
Anthony Douglas, a past Board Director of the NAACP in Oklahoma, says he was suspended a day before the national convention after challenging President and CEO Derrick Johnson.
Nashville's past president, Venita Lewis, says she was suspended after challenging the direction of Tennessee's State Conference President Gloria Sweet-Love.
Betty Williams, the past President of the Sacramento NAACP Branch, says she was suspended three days before an election after filing harassment charges.

Please please please! Can black folks come together on anything for the betterment of the black community???? I am so sick of people like Derick Johnson who is not deserving of being in charge of the NWACP oerganization.
I have been wondering why were they so quiet on matters. Where's the money going? Who's getting the monies and why. There's something wrong here. Who's in charge? Money and power ruin people and businesses. This is terrible and a Mark on the NAACP. Martin Luther King must be turning over in his grave. A shame and disgrace. I am very disappointed in the NAACP.😞🫤 How dare them to ruin this organization.
I dont understand this statement. Any member can attend a National Board member and learn about everything.
President gets paid a living wage because he travels and has to represent the organization around the world. That was a petty attack
Making money off the pain of black people
They been sold us out
👍🏼🙌🏾👏🏽💯True facts
What do you expect??? The Organization was founded by Non- Blacks that use black faces as a front for the organization. That alone should make you think twice about them.
The NAACP should be dissolved. The organization is not advancing the original founders' goals. Ida B. Wells would be appalled!
It certainly needs to change and stop being so conservatives. The organization is ineffective because it's too big. There's no consistency in their operations, just jobs for people with degrees, connections to the D9, etc. For example, Crystal Mason needs their legal help, and instead of helping their constituents, they are in-fighting! They need to go smaller and faster and stop being tools of oppression. They can't even execute a solid, good national strategy to help Black people get reparations!!
You talking crazy now. 🤪 stop it.
Toxic leadership with insecurities-fight the good fight.
We have to treat each other better before we expect anyone else to.
🙏🏽👍🏼🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I hope Roland offer the naacp heads to offer their side and try and find out what the hell is going on.
They will not address private matters in public. Join & become a member if you know what they think.
Roland Ain't going to do 💩...He just talks a good game. Won't bust a grape in a wet pillow fight 😅😅😅
Many of us in the community have felt the NAACP has lost it’s fight.
This is a shame!!
If ever there was a time to get to the bottom of this, it's 2024!!!!
This organization hasn’t been effective since the 1970’s. This is straight up mess.
Yap just regular people just in these offices 🙄😒no more powerful black avocates in this organization no more they're either pass away or very old and retired💔💔💔
Not true
Any Self respecting black man or Woman wouldn't support the NAACP in the first place. An organization that was founded by Non- Blacks....only to use black knee- grows as faces of the organization.😅😅
@LadyLawyerG didn't help me out of standing by my side on none of are strong cases and issues true facts any one come to Michigan with a law degree looks at all these attack laws they have agaist black families and they cover up alot 🤔 true facts 💯 look at how the state is shape like a glove so ....glove over the hand ✋️😒protection!!!expecially for higher state systems people plus all other state lawyer's know that when they hear that state name michigan they step back 😒🙄☠️🌎I was supposed to heard back from a Naacp president in Detroit last year 2023 of October after my grandson funeral service😳😢he told me I will be reaching out to you and your daughter in a week still haven't heard from him since been leaving message calling still nothing smh I won't give his name out but I will his initial CJ
ALL I HAVE TO SAY I REMEMBER YEARS AGO A OLDER LADY TOLD ME OVER THE NAACP OFFICE HERE IN GR MICHIGAN THAT SHE HAD TO CRAWL HER SELF OUT HER BED TO COME TO THE OFFICE JUST TO ANSWER THE PHONES 📱SHE ALSO STATED HONEY THE NAACP DO NOT WORK LIKE HOW IT DID AROUND MARTIN LUTHER KING TIME WHERE BLACK PEOPLE STOOD UP FOR ONE ANOTHER ON ALL SITUATIONS NOT CERTAIN ONE'S ONCE I WAS BLIND NOW I SEE 😢😢😢
❤ Suspend all of their sorry asses because they don't do anything to help any black person
Wow. Unreal. So sorry about all of you in all in this situation. They need to close it down then.
@shirleyjohnson7467 very true cause they have backstab me to many time and never stood by me on any of my situations I'm just tired 😫😩and through begging this people for help and never getting help 💯 ☠️
🌎
ormer President Douglas claimed to care, echoing the national office's statement. However, a Black woman recently reached out for help regarding civil rights violations by the Lawton City Council. Instead of receiving assistance, she was charged with filing a false police report. All she did was file a complaint about the City Council's inappropriate behavior. This situation highlights the organization's need for reform to ensure it effectively supports its members.
👍
It's Not, Feeling The Same!!!!!!!!!! Seems Like, The New Leadership, Is Bowing Down To, OTHERS!!!!!!!!! JUST, MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely..
MESSY, MESSY!
BLACK PEOPLE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ALL THIS IN HOUSE FIGHTING?😢😢
Was fighting before they came on the show among themselves
@@MatinaDavis REALLY
WTF?! NOW, THIS!
Who cares about the NAACP in 2024?
The NAACP is still out here doing the work.
@@stevengibbs8651I’m just curious what is the work on their agenda at this time? Can you name 2 specific items on their agenda for the black community on a national level?
@@morriswhitaker236 there’s a suicide prevention effort that I’m aware of. There are ongoing efforts to strengthen voting rights. Check your local chapter.
Roland Martin is the only one crying and whining
Exactly nobody
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸• If wrongful suspensions have occurred in the NAACP Organization ~ then these members has the right to appeal them with the hearing request **** Also~ would like to see documentation that all of these members have made to fight these wrongful suspensions •🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Some deserve to be suspended but they do need due process
@@MatinaDavis Until We know the circumstances from reviewing evidence & specific documentation ~ We DO NOT HAVE Any Business to Determine Whether or Not if those Suspensions Were Justified
Those people did nothing wrong, and they followed up with proof. And apparently, you didn't listen to what they all said they appealed with a hearing request. It was denied, or abandoned with no action taken from the people closest to the main man himself. The NAACP has become a cesspool of toxicity and not the NAACP that I remember growing up with, and I'm in my early 30's. How is a man making more money than the US President, and everyone else literally volunteers? And he's going to hold that position until the day he dies! How corrupted is that!
Are People Being Paid To Cause This Kind Of Chaos? Sounds Very Intentional. Intended Chaos Is Very Suspicious. I Would Love To See The Bank Accounts Of The Grifters That Are Trying To Shut Down The NAACP. Take The Money And Run. SOMEONE IS BEING PAID TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. INVESTIGATION FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO STEP IN AND SAVE OUR NAACP.
ABSOLUTELY! THE RED FLAGS ARE ASTOUNDING! WHO'S REALLY BEHIND THIS! COULD IT BE THE SAME PEOPLE TAKING OUR RIGHTS AWAY IN SO MANY STATES! ALSO, PUTTING MONEY BEFORE MORALES SEEMS TO BE POPULAR FOR SOME PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY! THIS IS A SAD DAY IN AMERICA IN MY OPINION! "WE THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY HAVE TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS"!
Who? The same yt folks who were in the NAACP since the beginning, stopping effective actions against injustice, reminding the Blacks not to appear as "angry Negroes". They were used then, and they're being used now. Look at the history of the NAACP.
Besides, the Department of "Just Us" won't do anything worthwhile to save the NAACP. Ever. DOJ, FBI history of "helping" Black people is paltry at best.
This is intentional chaos. Somebody was brought in to infiltrate and destroy the NAACP from within, chapter by chapter.
COINTELPRO revisited.
It’s true my friend! I have personal experience! Our chapter had to take them to court 3 times! We won all 3 times! I Will NEVER BE A MEMBER AGAIN!!
Its worse than that look at the paper trail
Derek Johnson needs to be removed, fired, and/or get replaced! Who is this bumb?
Disrespectful Comment he is a Great Gentleman.
Why? He has done great work.
You've got to be kidding! Not now we are in n enough shit! And the people who are doing this are the ones who are doing wrong and need to be investigated. They're getting rid of those who are in their way! It's embarrassing. Is Derrick having an affair and making bad decisions?
Sad that these folks are just finding out, what most of the black community has known for decades. That the NAACP is not where the black community should be focusing their efforts.
They just want the title. I sought help in Oklahoma. We were sent messages by the president stop contacting him he will call the FBI
@@MatinaDavis 😮
What would that be? Im a life member. No problem with the organization.
@@LadyLawyerGYou and the NAACP are relevant as an 8 track player.😅😅😅
NAACP has been a MESS for years and that is they have lost most Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z .
Your comment is more truthful than most will admit. NAACP has failed or is failing to protect those people they say they love.
Not true
@@LadyLawyerG Please ask randomly 10 black people over 20 years of age, who is David Dorn. Then ask who George Floyd is.
@@LadyLawyerGYes....it's true. Who paid you to defend the NAACP 😅😅😅
Very sad leadership 😢😢
Nefarious underpinnings, is this a concerted effort to bring about the demise of the NAACP as we know it? The NAACP has a history of civil rights wins and a proud legacy.
You are definitely on CP time. This been going on for more than a minute. At least since the 1990s.
@@andreabrown4541 not really, just engaged elsewhere.
What the F...! Who are these infultraitors! This organization has been important and instrumental for civil rights and fairness. Someone or some people are trying to destroy it from the inside. Have these folks received bribes or threats?!
These are the types of foot soldiers that make organizations strong.
What's going on?? These are serious actions. Derrick Johnson is serious person something is going on. There have been issues with NAACP for years!
Is the NAACP starting to crumble across many states? I was a member of the NAACP not a good experience with my local chapter.
💯it Really is 😢
I'm not even trying to get into this foolishness! All I hear is an organization that never really became what Ida B. Wells intended is falling apart at a time when they are desperately needed. GD shame! In-fighting!!
How can the NAACP help blacks if this behavior is taking place inside the organization? Black people with PH Ds are being denied tenure, black professionals are getting overlooked for promotion, black principals are getting fired, etc., everyday!
Conflict happens in every large organization. No one is perfect. The key is keeping the mission before the personal disagreements.
Roland get. Derrick Johnson on the show
Please and thank you!
Listen, I don’t want no smoke with Mr. Anthony Douglas! Zero! 😂
sounds like age discrimination
When has the NAACP ever really done anything significant for Black peopke?
A few of us backed them when they went after the 1994 crime bill. I take it you and yours didn't. Enuff said!
@@andreabrown4541 1994? 30 yrs ago. Oh, ok. Nothing during G FLLOYD. AUBRY, no fight to get an anti black hatred crime bill past???? I said what I said.
Naacp Must be Getting Big Monies
Is the NAACP effective taday? Do they actually work or just jump on board once the people rise up on a situation?
I don't hear from them much, really at all!
Shouldn't they be in the forefront ALL the time? I may join to see for myself but this sounds like some B.S.
Just highly disappointed!
Roland, please interview the NAACP top leadership. No one ever does that. The lack of scrutiny makes it possible for this kind of foolishness. We could use some sunlight on this situation. It's not good.
Answer: YES
She said "bacifics"🤣🤣🤣. What the hell is bacifics?🤣🤣
So WHO really OWNS The NAACP????
Fox News
"I at this point feel, "Derrick Johnson is failing!
2nd statement!
I am surprised. Derrick Johnson is an attorney and should know better. There appears to be much missing in this conversation.
Derrick are you on the take brother we need to know/?
Wow...
Black people get it together too much confusion what the be Jesus is going on with you all
The NAACP don't have anybody but people with high-profile cases . I thought they were helping a drug case that's the naac chapter in Memphis. The year 2002
This reminds me of a microw fight , like the gigantic fight of the powers of one nation to see whom will be in controll of the sattisqoe.
The organization is unorganized, unethical, popularity contest, pay to play, shitshow
The Organization was founded by Non- Blacks that use Black faces as a front. They have been crooked like roach legs from the jump
I am Listening 🎧
What the ...
🙏🙏🙏🙏🌍
but shows like rolands are always biggin up praising the so called blk orgs that are coopted and do nothin for blks ,, then turn around and tell us how horrible they are
Sadly 😥 true.
UNC these a.i. generated thumbnails are a bit creepy
My boss fired me then sent me to jail in Alabama
What?
Try being disabled and going through the same thing. But when they come for me the, punishment is homelessness. . For period s of 12 month a Year.
I have been tried for a long time now. And I go depressed sometimes but, then I start all over again.
Because my mother fought for her rights and the rights of her children.
My father worked in politics. He tough me how to play their games and, also fight for my right s.
They don't know what to do with me me. BUT , MAKE SHIT UP. . LOL 😂 in
Raleigh, NC. . The NAACP will not call me back. I have call at least 15-20 times. However when I called I was upset, and I know they were upset with me . I have a problem with people like RE .Barber using his job, on the news because they wouldn't let him bring a chair into the moves too see the , ( color purple ) on new years day. OH yeah he s going to say I took my mother to see the movie.
( Hell he could set in the car while his mother finished watching the movie )
I think I was a Miss USE OF POWER. For personal gain.
And here they go putting people in the street s to live. And they letting it happen.. they wanted me so bad they filed eviction 2 weeks after I Moved OUT.
I always thought the NAACP was a clown show. These people are reflective of what I think of the NAACP.
Only people who aren't apart of black people would assume the dumbest ish about this
You talking blasphemy
@@LadyLawyerG Blasphemy; there is nothing sacred or inviolable about the NAACP. Other conservative organizations have influence over lawmakers, craft and help to pass laws that move their agenda forward. NAACP is just a show organization with headed by people who have no vision, power or influence other than showing up on media from time to time and talk talk talk no substance.
I think that dude with the gray long hair try to do some shady and got caught up and try to get some back stamps
Yeah I'm feeling that too
Facts not Feelings lead to truth.
@@babytoshiro7014 yup
Smegma
Speaking as a black man from GA i don't see any real benifit for black Americans that come from American slavery.
Shut it down. This is foolishness. Why can't the black community just get along?
Maybe downsize, but that would be an even hotter🔥🔥🔥 Mess!
Don't shut it down. There needs to be an investigation and elections to vote out the NAACP president. It starts at the top.
Roland Martin ain't 💩....Just like the NAACP. All talk....but no action 😅💯
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON CHICAGOS WOKE LIBERAL MAYOR BANDON JOHNSON...YEAH TALK ABOUT THAT.
She been working for working for 20 years for the NAACP I can't name one thing she's done but catering to the Democratic party
Not relevant
😂😂roliie pollie u KNOW THE NAACP IS PURE HOUSE N WORDS 😂😂😂
