LOS ANGELES -- The president of the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP has resigned, following scrutiny of his decision to give Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling an award for promoting civil rights.
According to the national leader of the nation's oldest civil rights organization, Leon Jenkins resigned Thursday.
Jenkins had planned to present Sterling with a "lifetime achievement award'' later this month. Jenkins rescinded that offer this week after a recording surfaced on which Sterling disparaged black men.
In his resignation letter, Jenkins wrote that, "In order to separate the Los Angeles NAACP and the NAACP from the negative exposure I have caused the NAACP, I respectfully resign my position.''
The national NAACP said it is "developing guidelines for its branches to help them in their award selection process.''LINK

What I don't understand was this was to be Sterling's 2nd lifetime achievement award from the LA chapter of the NAACP. How does this potentially happen?

Simple. He gave them money. That is how the NAACP works. The ends justify the means. Corruption at its finest.

I don't understand why DS would accept an award from the NAACP. Aren't there a lot of black people in it?

Go to a NAACP function, you will be shocked at how many white people you see

Probably. But let's not act like it's a race thing. People sacrifice their morals all the time for money. For all sorts reasons.

They really need guidelines to tell them not to give a lifetime achievement award to Stirling? Dude has been a notorious racist and slumlord for years.
