They can’t keep living off the civil rights era. yes it was important although we shouldn’t have discarded our Black institutions… it was like 60 years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another entity involved that keeps them from shaking the table too much.
There isn't, honestly.
Capitalist and neoliberal logics are the reason behind the NAACP not pushing things. There are a handful of more radical chapters, but the majority are composed of middle-class/upper-middle class educated Blacks who work in local white collar professions and are just climbing the corporate ladder; the meetings are largely just sub-fraternity meetings where the same basic liberal agenda is circulated.
I agree with your initial sentiment, they can't keep living off of the civil rights era. A handful are doing good voting rights work (particularly in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana) - and a couple (St. Louis, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Chicago for a short bloc), pushed more radical proposals between 2018 and 2021. But they do need to evolve.
