The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is an African-American civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909 by Moorfield Storey, Mary White Ovington and W. E. B. Du Bois. Its mission is "to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination". Its name, retained in accordance with tradition, uses the once common term colored people.
The NAACP bestows the annual Image Awards for achievement in the arts and entertainment, and the annual Spingarn Medals for outstanding positive achievement of any kind, on deserving Black Americans. It has its headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland.
The NAACP's headquarters is in Baltimore, with additional regional offices in California, New York, Michigan, Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Maryland. Each regional office is responsible for coordinating the efforts of state conferences in the states included in that region. Local, youth, and college chapters organize activities for individual members.

White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It is a 2012 non-fiction book written by Colin Flaherty, regarding race and crime, particularly the knockout game and violent flash mobs of black people, in the United States. It is published by WND Books.
Thomas Sowell praised the book, feeling that Flaherty had done better research than Sowell had for his own Intellectuals and Society on the issue of black-on-white crime, and felt that the book and its message were being ignored or silenced.John Derbyshire at VDARE described Flaherty as "an old-style just-the-facts reporter with no ideological axe to grind" and praised his work.
Alex Pareene in Salon opined that the figures presented by Flaherty were inflated and the reporting misleading, after checking the sources cited.Cathy Young in Newsday brought up the book when discussing the knockout game, and mentioned how she felt Flaherty, while in error in a particular case, brings forth a "narrative [that] raises a painful question" about the media's failure to report incidents accurately when perpetrators are black. That failure, she cautions, undermines the media's credibility and actually risks encouraging racist paranoia.
Lindsey Graham took on the president of the NAACP and visibly frustrated him with the facts he laid out.

No no,
Nooo no
Where should I start?
I don't wanna break her heart.
The phone rings and it's you
You beg me to come home
And the truth is girl you think, I'm in the studio
For a moment I was there
And then I ended up here
Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place,
What is this I'm gonna face,
If she ever finds out
(Should I just go)
And do what my heart tells me to
(But I cannot let go)
You don't know what I'm goin through
(How did I get)...
Caught up in this sticky situation that I'm facing.
How do I? Say to my girl that I've been cheating.
How can I? Try to explain the late night creeping.
How do I? Tell her the truth and it not end.
How do I? Say I've been cheating with your best friend.
Your best friend, best friend.
I've been cheating with your best friend,
Your best friend, best friend, No no no no
Babygirl it's been tearing me apart,
And it really hurts my heart that I gotta be telling you this.
Even tho I know it's gonna be the end
I couldn't hold it any longer and keep lying to myself
I never wanted to see you cry
You think I'm messed up I know why
Maybe it's my past coming to haunt me
But I'm just doin exactly what she taught me.
(Should I just go)
And do what my heart tells me to
(But I cannot let go)
You don't know what I'm goin through
(How did I get)...
Caught up in this sticky situation that I'm facing.
How do I? Say to my girl that I've been cheating.
How can I? Try to explain the late night creeping.
How do I? Tell her the truth and it not end.
How do I? Say I've been cheating with your best friend.
Your best friend, your best friend.
I've been cheating with your best friend,
