(2005-04-08) -- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will hold a Leadership Summit at a Florida resort in late May to prove its continued relevance and to develop strategies for protecting the civil rights of increasingly wealthy African-Americans.
"Now that many of our brothers and sisters have become rich, we're learning that money can't buy freedom from oppression," said an unnamed NAACP spokesman. "Instead of sitting at the back of bus, we're now waiting hours for tables in fine restaurants and weeks for delivery of a customized Mercedes and months for a luxury home in a gated community. We shall overcome."
The Leadership Summit at the $165/night resort will include a golf tournament and seminars on civil disobedience.
"The movement is more subtle today," said the NAACP source. "We teach passive resistance techniques like taking a little extra time on the fairway and politely declining to let 'the man' play through so he can feel the sting of oppression and empathize with our struggle. We shall overcome."
